James Gunn’s DCU has already carried pieces of The Suicide Squad into its new continuity, but exactly how much of the 2021 movie still counts remains surprisingly complicated. Creature Commandos officially launched the new connected DCU, while characters including Amanda Waller, Rick Flag Sr., Weasel, and Peacemaker create clear bridges back to Gunn’s earlier DC projects. DC Studios originally established that projects beginning with Creature Commandos would be connected canon, making these newer references especially important when determining what survived the transition. We break the surviving Suicide Squad characters into four categories: definitely preserved, probably preserved, contradicted, and still unresolved. Rick Flag Jr.’s death has major consequences that continue through the new universe, while Weasel has already made the jump through Creature Commandos. Bloodsport, King Shark, Ratcatcher 2, and especially Harley Quinn raise much bigger questions. Harley is the biggest
