Official Suicide Squad synopsis leads to more speculation over film’s ‘villain’

There's been plenty of questions surrounding Suicide Squad since Warner Bros. first dropped a trailer on us back at San Diego Comic-Con in July.  For starters, who exactly is the villain this ragtag team of antiheroes has been assembled to take down? While there's plenty of good theories out there, an official plot synopsis might give everyone a better idea.

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

As the synopsis gives us only a little bit of more new information than we already knew, many fans have already been speculating that the Riddler might be the main villain for Suicide Squad due to the "enigmatic, insuperable entity" mentioned. The synopsis also hints that the Suicide Squad, a group of some of the worst villains in DC comic lore, will have to come together and put their differences aside if they plan to survive this suicide mission.

Suicide Squad is set to hit the big screen on August 5th, 2016, and it stars Jared Leto (the Joker), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn) and Will Smith (Deadshot), Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flagg), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), and Cara Delevingne (Enchantress).
