60 free Suicide Squad trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Suicide Squad trivia quiz covers David Ayer's 2016 DC Extended Universe film, from Amanda Waller's pitch for Task Force X to the mid-credits deal with Bruce Wayne. The plot questions take in Belle Reve, the nanite bombs, Midway City, Enchantress and her brother Incubus, the bar scene, El Diablo's sacrifice and the Joker's helicopter, and the character questions cover every squad member's real name, power and actor. The harder questions are about how the film came together and fell apart: the actors who were offered roles first, the star who left for The Revenant, the six-week rewrite after Steppenwolf was removed, the $22 million reshoots, the trailer company that assembled the theatrical cut, the Oscar it won, and the #ReleaseTheAyerCut campaign that followed. There are box office questions too, because the film set a stack of August records while being torn apart by critics. Every answer was checked against the film's Wikipedia article and its cited sources before publishing. For the wider universe, try our DC Comics and Batman quizzes.
