Mutants in love. Romance among the X-Men never ends with happily ever after. Wolverine/Laura and Angel/Young Warren share a romance novel cover and reunion in All-New X-Men #12.

Writer Dennis Hopeless gave fans of the two lovers a big moment and delivered a love letter to fans of old school villains not seen in years.

The Apocalypse Wars arc focused on Evan and young Hank McCoy back in time with the original En Sabah Nur.

The new arc picks up the romance of Laura and Warren which isn’t going smooth. Rich Warren wants to woo Laura but she wants to cut loose.

Thanks to young Cyclops playing with Beast’s “threat tracker” Laura gets a ton of dangerous solo missions in which she unleash the claws.

One of the many Easter Eggs in Suicide Squad is tied into a big mystery set up in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It could be just one stop on a trail of tragedy and vengeance in the DC Comics Movie Universe.

In Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Bruce Wayne keeps a statue of Robin in the Batcave.

The symbol of his sidekick is defaced with spray paint:

“Ha Ha joke’s on your Batman!”

The implication is a “Robin” was killed in this past of this movie universe.

In the comic storyline Death of the Family, the second Robin/Jason Todd was murdered by the Joker.

Is the guilty party revealed in Suicide Squad? Continue reading SUICIDE SQUAD Easter Egg, HARLEY QUINN’S Crime?
