10 Things You Need To Know About Killer Croc Before You See Suicide Squad

One of the most exciting things about Suicide Squad for a comic book fan is that the movie will bring a team of mostly lesser-known characters to the big screen for the first time. Yes, it features big hitters like the Joker and a cameo from Batman, but apart from them, the likes of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Katana and Enchantress are not that familiar to wider audiences.

As previously stated, Suicide Squad will serve as Killer Croc’s introduction to the movie-going public, as he has never appeared in any live-action movie or TV show before. However, that doesn’t mean this is his first time making it out of the comics, as he’s turned up in numerous animated shows, straight-to-DVD movies and video games.

Firstly, the character was a recurring villain in the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series, in which he was unusually grey-skinned and played for laughs. He’s gone on to appear in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Beware the Batman. He’s also featured in films like Son of Batman and Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts.

Mostly interestingly to superhero fans, Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, voiced the character in The Batman. He wouldn’t have been a bad choice to play him in Suicide Squad, actually.
