I can't help but notice that the page about this movie consists of a lot of ancillary details, like the cast of characters, a bunch of trailers, and the fact that the home video has an extended cut. But it doesn't make any mention of plot or story.

Is this because the story lacks enough plot to summarize? Or is it just a lack of wiki magic providing one thus far?

Well, it already has that second paragraph; and many other movies don't have much more of a plot description either. Could be a bit more though, so I edited it to elaborate a bit more.

BDDF doesn't apply; it is when a token minority dies first. The Token Minority is when the person referred to is the only one who's not the race that all the rest of the cast is.

With a Latin-American, Asian, and several African-American characters in the cast, this is not a case where the entire cast except the Native American is of the same race, thus not Token Minority and not Black Dude Dies First.

How about removing this entry?

EDIT: Well, seems someone else agreed with the above because they removed the entry. No need to discuss it here then anymore.

Calling Leto's weird cough an Evil Laugh is being *really* generous...

"Laughter as an expression of evil, especially evil-derived satisfaction."

Sounds like it fits to me.

Ok, more specifically, calling Leto's weird forced cough a laugh is being really generous.

He has an entirely different (and better) Evil Laugh during the helicopter rescue scene, just in case.

FWIW: The character Harley Quinn had been wikilinked to Harley Quinn (the page for her comic book). However, that page specifically says:

Note: This isn't a character page. This page is about Harley's solo series and the character/plot tropes therein. For character tropes that appear in The DCU as a whole (and/or appearing elsewhere, but not these series), see her character page here.

…with a link to the Batman "Rogue's Gallery" page, where she has an entry.

It may be that Ms. Quinzel should have a character page of her own—I'd have no problem with that—but I do agree that we shouldn't link to a page that is specifically about the comic book that happens to share her name. So until she has a proper character page, IMO her name should link to the Rogue's Gallery.

I do find it weird that comic book characters in particular get their own character pages. But ah well.

The thing is, even though it's not a character page, it's as good a link as any for that. It wouldn't be uncommon for us to link whatever series that character is from in their description. For example, if Star-Lord were on the team, he'd probably have a link to ComicBook.The Guardians Of The Galaxy, right?

While I agree the distinction between the comic book's page and the character page is murky at best, there's no reason not to link it here, in my opinion.

I'll just reiterate my edit reason: In general, when we wikilink a character name, we link to the page about works related to or starring them, not their character page. For instance, on this page the name "Batman" is linked to Franchise.Batman (a page about all the works featuring Batman), and not Characters.Batman And Bat Family (a page about the character of Batman, specifically in the DC comics works, as there are other character pages for other iterations of the character).

Same if I go to Film.The Dark Knight Trilogy; links are all to Franchise.Batman. And it's the same for pretty much every other character in these Comic Book adaptations, as Larkmarn pointed out. We link to related works pages, not character pages.

So yes, I concede ComicBook.Harley Quinn is not a character page but a works page. That's why I linked to there. Now, if you can explain to me why Harley Quinn should be an exception, where we link to a character page rather than a related works page, then fine. Because as is, I don't understand why she should be an exception.

Yeah, I didn't make it clear. We never link to Characters/ pages in a pothole. If not ComicBook.Harley Quinn, then maybe we'd link to Franchise.Batman (or maybe WesternAnimation.Batman The Animated Series since it's where she made her debut)? Those would technically work, but I daresay ComicBook.Harley Quinn is the best fit for her "home" series.

The Joker's Cool Car is actually a Infiniti G35 with a Vaydor bodykit

The Evil Genius Enchantress

The Brute Boomerang

The Dark Chick Harley Quinn
