History Heartwarming / SuicideSquad2016

** At the end, [[spoiler:the Joker, having survived the helicopter crash from earlier, reunites with Harley at Belle Reve when he and his [[{{Mook}} Mooks]] break her out. As the the two embrace, he affectionately tells her, "Let's go home", and the film closes on a shot of them together.]]
*** Think about that for a second. [[spoiler: Everything the Joker does in the main narrative revolves around getting Harley out of jail. His first plan literally crashes and burns at the last second and then he launches a second attempt on the prison itself. He ''really'' wanted her back.]]

** Joker spends most of the film tracking down Harley, kidnapping the doctor who put the explosive implant in her neck, and finally deactivating her explosive and rescuing her. [[spoiler: Just before the helicopter is shot down,]] he kisses her passionately and very sweetly tells her he has grape soda on ice and a bear-skin rug in front of a fire, waiting for them at home.

* Despite this version of Batman [[GoodIsNotNice being noticeably more violent]] [[AdaptationalJerkass than previous versions]], he still has sympathy for villains:

* Harley's line to Enchantress [[spoiler:before she cuts out her heart]]

* Captain Boomerang may be a JerkAss, but it's somehow endearing when he tosses Harley her bat [[spoiler:upon her return after the Joker's apparent death.]]

* El Diablo calling the squad his family [[spoiler:before fighting Incubus to a standstill to allow them both to be blown up]]
** [[spoiler: Tied into this is the rest of the Squad cheering Diablo on as he fights Incubus, with Deadshot, Harley and Boomerang all yelling encouragement to him from the sidelines]].
** [[spoiler: And then yelling for him to get clear, with all indication of genuine concern for Diablo, just before his HeroicSacrifice.]]
* Deadshot purposefully [[spoiler:missing Harley when she escapes, despite Waller offering immediate freedom and custody of his daughter if he kills Harley.]] It's about as close as anyone gets to saying [[spoiler: "Fuck you, Waller"]] in the entire movie.
* When Enchantress [[spoiler: uses her power to make the Suicide Squad hallucinate their most wished desires coming true, some of them are pretty sweet. Deadshot sees himself being able to kill Batman so that he won't have to go to prison and able to stay with his daughter, Harley Quinn sees herself living a normal family life with The Joker (complete with two kids and no clown makeup), and El Diablo sees himself reunited with his dead family again. No matter how evil the members of Suicide Squad are, EvenEvilHasLovedOnes indeed.]]

** [[spoiler: Enchantress forces a vision of Deadshot's daughter begging him not to take the shot to end the threat. Conflicted for only a moment, he takes the shot anyway with Harley's engraved revolver. The spent chamber rotates into frame, and ''Love'' is printed on it.]]
** At the end, he's seen helping her with her math homework.
*** It shouldn't be nearly as heartwarming as it is, but when Floyd's explaining the geometry to her, Zoe makes the comparison to her dad's job. And it's not a case of CallingTheOldManOut, either, it's just a basic 'imagine the situation as something you know in order to make better sense of it'.

* Over the course of the film, Killer Croc goes from being treated like a monster to being treated like a friend, with Harley being able to call him ugly without consequence. [[spoiler: The film ends with him back in prison, but now he's eating a cheeseburger which means that the "Do Not Feed" rule has been discarded.]]
*** [[spoiler: And he's watching ''and enjoying'' a musical performance on TV (his reward request) while he eats. Not only is Croc's human side still there, but it's fighting a rearguard action to keep him connected to human culture.]]

** Especially since this movie follows the movie where two of the biggest superheroes were fighting one another.

** Later, after it seemed like [[spoiler: June had died]], she and Rick embrace joyfully.

* After [[spoiler:the Joker's apparent demise]], the rest of the Squad finds Harley sitting on top of a car, having taken off her "puddin'" choker and sitting there crying. The second she sees them coming, Harley tries to perk up and go back to her usual smiley self, [[StepfordSmiler but she's not really fooling anyone]]. The rest of the Squad, thankfully, doesn't call her out on it, and Deadshot helps her down, even ''{{bridal carry}}ing'' her at one point.

* As part of his Method Acting shtick, Jared Leto sent Margot Robbie a rat. While freaked out at first, Margot grew fond of it and kept it as a pet. Eventually, she gave it to Creator/GuillermoDelToro, who named it Venustiano. [[https://twitter.com/RealGDT/status/702299693045456896/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Just look at the little guy.]]
* After the trouble Ayer got into for shouting "Fuck Marvel!", [[Creator/StanLee Stan "The Man" Lee]] ''himself'' [[https://twitter.com/DavidAyerMovies/status/761151256601632769 told him not to worry about it]].
* A ''Suicide Squad'' collection figurine has a depiction of the Joker with a dragon tattoo on the back. For those who don't know, this is a reference to ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'', which was created by Creator/FrankMiller and Jim Lee. It is regarded by Batman fans as one of his worst comic book depictions. Depending on how you view the reference, it could either be the figurine's creators giving Miller and Lee respect for Joker's design and the inspiration for ''Suicide Squad'''s Joker tattoos or it could be a TakeThat for the comic's poor reception and character depictions.

* It might have started as the most [[StockholmSyndrome twisted]] love of them all, but the Joker and Harley Quinn really care for each other in this adaptation. A far cry from the MadLove way their relationship is usually depicted. It's been stated that since the Joker is a guy with such a [[DependingOnTheWriter varied personality]] and [[MultipleChoicePast past]], it's not out of the question that one version of him can care for Harley, even if it is as a personal possession.

** There's also something very endearing about the way Flag hugs him after the final battle. Even if [[HatesBeingTouched Floyd's]] reaction is something of a FunnyMoment.

* Just the general ''[[PapaWolf devotion]]'' Deadshot has for [[MoralityPet his]] [[MoralityChain daughter]]. [[note]] Yes, she's both a pet ''and'' a chain because she motivated him to be more than a hired gun and then inspires him to stay more than a hired gun [[/note]].

** Deadshoot goes out shopping with his daughter; that's what he does in his downtime.

** When he goes to arrest Deadshot, he gives the man a chance to surrender so Deadshot's daughter wouldn't have to see her father be roughed up. He also [[PetTheDog lets them say a decent goodbye to each other]] before the police apprehends Deadshot. It's a hint of FridgeBrilliance too. Especially if anyone looks at Batman's origin.

* Captain Boomerang may be a [[JerkAss jerk ass]], but it's somehow endearing when he tosses Harley her bat [[spoiler:upon her return after the Joker's apparent death.]]
