** In the original series, where pardons were given out, this *did* raise questions and clued Batman into the existence of the Squad. And Captain Boomerang was basically permanently pressganged when he tried to take advantage of it.

* Since everyone's bringing it up, where were Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash when all the major magic chaos goes down? We know the latter is active because he apprehended Boomerang, and the other two couldn't possibly be too busy looking for other heroes that they completely put fighting bad guys on hold.

* In the film: If the team is meant to be completely deniable by the US government if anything would go wrong, why have them travel in clearly government helicopters and be accompanied by US Special Forces?
** I'm just gonna safely assume that US Special Forces are there to make it look like they're "arresting the bad guys" when in reality they're in cahoots with each other. Also the place they were going to, judging by the trailer, seems to have been abandoned for some reason. Lastly if the operation gets fucked up in some way, then they get to gun the nutjobs down and deny everything about the whole "teamwork" thing.

* Why is there another Joker (Assuming the man with green hair in the trailer is the mad clown)? Who would be trying to imitate him?
** Wait where was that shown, if I may ask?
