Comic Con 2015 officially belongs to DC as hot on the heels of the incredible Batman v Superman trailer, the first footage of Suicide Squad has been leaked.

The most dangerous supervillains on the planet have been brought together to save the world on behalf of the human race they've terrified, and going by the first-look footage, David Ayer's vision has been a success.

Asked why she thinks she can control them, Viola Davis' badass ARGUS boss Amanda Waller replies: "Because getting people to act against their own self-interest is what I do for a living."

But Waller may have met her match in the highlight of the trailer - the debut of Jared Leto's Joker.

The first actor to play the supervillain on-screen since the late Heath Ledger's portrayal in box office smash The Dark Knight received the biggest cheers in the room when his character appeared on screen.

"I'm not gonna kill you, I'm just gonna hurt you really, really bad," cackles Leto's Joker.

Ignoring the Joker's highly anticipated debut, the trailer belongs really to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, who can be seen licking poles, brandishing baseballs bats and inexplicably doing the splits mid-air in her prison cell.

With the Joker being absent from the rest of the group, is this a hint he will be more of a villain for the villains? Is he too dangerous to join the Suicide Squad?

The trailer also confirmed that Batman will be in the movie, as he's seen clinging on to the top of a car while the joker and Harley Quinn speed through Gotham.

"I hope you've got insurance," quips Harley in her typically demented fashion.

Cara Delevingne's Enchantress also makes her debut, submerged in a bath, covered in plant roots with a reversed pentagram sitting above her.
