The Suicide Squad’s 8 Biggest DC Comics Callouts

Calendar Man, Double Down And Kaleidoscope

The majority of supervillains who show up in The Suicide Squad are part of Task Force X, but we do get brief glimpses of other baddies being held at Belle Reve. When we meet David Dastmalchian’s Polka-Dot Man, he gets insulted by Calendar Man, played by Sean Gunn, who also appears in the movie as Weasel. Calendar Man is a Batman villain most people nowadays know best from Batman: The Long Halloween, Next to him during the scene is Jared Leland Gore as Double Down, a Flash villain who can peel an unlimited supply of mystical, razor-sharp playing cards from his body in the comics. Shortly beforehand, right before we meet Ratcatcher 2, we also briefly see Natalia Safran as Kaleidoscope, a minor villain who showed up in two issues of the Superboy comic book.
