The annual entertainment expo Comic-Con has kicked off in San Diego with great fanfare. And on the very first day at San Diego Comic-Con 2016 proved to be a great find for fans of 'Suicide Squad,' the upcoming DC comics movie based on the antihero team.

Hot Toys, maker of quality action figures, have revealed a new toy figure at their stall, which has not been seen till date in the trailers of 'Suicide Squad' or any of its marketing gigs. And now fans are wondering about the whereabouts of this character and what role it will play in the forthcoming movie from the DC universe.

But before you jump to any conclusion, let it be known that the character in question is not completely unheard of. He is the mighty villain, the Joker. And the toy figure that was unearthed at the San Diego Comic-Con is just a new figure of the Joker. He is seen wearing the costume of Batman but the white skin and capped teeth are intact and thus, anyone can make out that it is the Joker disguised under the Caper Crusader's dress.

Still, one cannot help but wonder how did the Joker get his hands on Batman's costume? Why is he wearing the dark dress? What could have led to him acquiring the dress? Questions like these are definitely paying on the minds of fans and they must be because every toy the company has made till date, has made an appearance in a movie.

Hot Toys stick to the movie characters very strictly and therefore if they have revealed the Joker in a new avatar, there is every reason to assume that he will be making an appearance in the movie wearing Batman's outfit. Also, it would be interesting to watch the sequences that led him to dress up in the attire of his enemy.

'Suicide Squad' is slated to hit the theatres on August 5, 2016, in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D.
