However , before any sort of plan can be form , Harley barges into the bar Joker is supposed to be in . While the Squad quickly observe her , it ’s soon revealed that they ’ve walked in good order into a yap with a fake Joker steerer . They ’re then shot at by expert secret agent and professional killers ( not the common goon and clowns Joker normally rolls with . ) As a result , Toyman fills in the gaps that Waller neglected to : Joker is on the QT fundedby Russia , not in rescript to conduct out missions on the state ’s behalf , but just to ensure he keeps up his chaotic , disruptive action in America
basically , Russa just want pandemonium and commotion to be maximized in the US , and they ’ve decide that Joker having all the resources he want is a unspoilt way to accomplish that . It ’s surely in force , especially combined with the fact that the end of the consequence visualize the material Joker assault Amanda Waller herself . Not only does he potentially vote down her after beat her with a pry ( just like he didwhen Joker killed Jason Todd ) , but he also takes her induction box seat , allow him to sic off the bombs in the Suicide Squad ’s heads . After setting off Firefly ’s bomb calorimeter and burning him animated , it quickly becomes apparent that Task Force X is now under Joker ’s control .
While Joker having Russian backers is certainly an interesting development , it does fly in the brass of multiple comics where Joker has decline to work with other country against the USA in the past . Joker rejected the Red Skull in Batman ’s crossover with Captain America , refusing to work with the Nazi and adjudge the opinion that,“I may be a reprehensible madman , but I ’m an American criminal lunatic!“However , that same sentiment process does n’t seem to be present inSuicide Squad : Get Joker ! , a account happy to use Black Label ’s pliant relationship with persistence to operate with modern - day politics , even casting Suicide Squad memberWild Dog as a Capitol Insurrectionist . Whatever his motif , Amanda Waller ’s Task Force X are now under the control of theJoker- on the button the sort of growth that see his Russian backers are getting their money ’s deserving from the villain .
