Croc? There's no room for them, with the Joker and Batman in it too. The team's way too big. Maybe they go out in squads? Don't forget about Scott Eastwood, Common, Jim Parrack, Ike Barinholtz, David Harbour, Alex Meraz, and that boxer guy. There are a lot of people in this movie and Warner Bros. hasn't done a great job at conveying just what they're all doing there.

And, to be fair, there is no way Slipknot isn't a redshirt. Many of the Suicide Squad characters will probably die before they get any real development. I'm guessing only Joker, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and maybe Enchantress or Rick Flag will get real character development. I can see Slipknot, Katana, El Diablo, and Killer Croc all dying pretty early. Even if the team seems too big, most of the less important characters will die, and the survivors who didn't get much screen time will get more sceen time in potential sequels.
