UPDATE (13/7/2016):

We're only 22 days away from the release of Suicide Squad, which means there's still time for Warner Bros. to unveil a few more posters for the highly anticipated DC movie. The latest is a typically colourful one-sheet that has the logos of certain Task Force X members emblazoned on objects that are exploding out of Joker's brain. On paper that probably sounded weird, but it's definitely one of the better posters of a campaign which has had A LOT of them. You can check out all of them in the gallery above...

UPDATE (05/7/2016):

And the Suicide Squad posters just keep on coming!

We're just a month away from the cinematic debut of David Ayer's highly anticipated film, and here to remind us all of that fact is yet another one-sheet, this time featuring Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie's character is the primary draw for many at this point, and it's her performance I'm most eager to check out. Of course, you can get a glimpse of the other Suicide Squad members in the gallery above.

UPDATE (30/6/2016):

If there is one word that can be used to describe Suicide Squad's many posters, it's colourful. Indeed, that definitely applies to the two new international one-sheets, both of which feature Jared Leto's grinning Joker in the background. Easily the winner of 'Best Pose' this time around however is Jai Courtenay's Captain Boomerang (Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is a close second). You can check them out - along with all the other posters - in the gallery above.

UPDATE (22/6/2016):

Just in case you're not sick to death already of seeing all the members of Suicide Squad in various different poses, Warner Bros. have unveiled another 11 brightly coloured character posters for the Joker, Harley and co.

Honestly, I'm feeling slightly trippy and nauseous at this point. As always, you can see the posters above and if you keep clicking you can see EVERY official Suicide Squad poster that's been released so far.

ORIGINAL:

Picking teams is all the rage when it comes to superhero films right now - for the record, I'm #TeamBatman and #TeamCap - but for Suicide Squad, Warner Bros. wants fans to go the extra mile. If you're at SXSW over the next few days, you can declare your allegiance by getting a tattoo of your favourite character. Check out the options in the gallery above.

Beyond being a fun idea the tattoos themselves make for unique posters, something which we don't always get for superhero movies. On that note, you can check out a colourful new Suicide Squad one-sheet that was tweeted by director David Ayer below.
