There’s a lot to see in the Suicide Squad footage that’s been released so far — both official and otherwise — but one element that’s generated a lot of buzz are the clips of Jared Leto’s Joker and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn riding around in a sleek, purple sports car. Notable not only for the unofficial fan-recorded videos of Batman riding around on top of the car but also for the custom design of the car itself, Joker’s ride was the subject of a recent Tampa Bay television news report that managed to get under the car’s hood.

In a profile that aired on Tampa’s FOX affiliate, the creator of Joker’s car in Suicide Squad explained the origins of the custom vehicle that transports the Clown Prince of Crime around town.

Referred to as a “Vaydor” by its creator, Jeremy MacEntagart, the car is the product of a custom kit for an Infiniti G35 created by the team at his garage where he develops custom frames for mass-produced cars. According to MacEntagart, creating a car like the one seen in Suicide Squad costs about $60,000 — and the price of an Infiniti G35, of course.

Along with some recycled footage from Suicide Squad, the video segment also includes some of the video shot by fans around the Toronto set of the film featuring the car in action.

Directed by David Ayer (Fury), Suicide Squad follows a team of supervillains from the DC Comics universe who are forced to undertake a dangerous mission for a mysterious government agency. The film’s cast includes Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) as Deadshot, Joel Kinnaman (RoboCop) as Rick Flagg, Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney (Divergent) as Captain Boomerang, Cara Delevingne (Anna Karenina) as Enchantress, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost) as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez (Hostel) as El Diablo, Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers) as Slipknot, Viola Davis (The Help) as Amanda Waller, and Jared Leto (The Dallas Buyers Club) as The Joker.

Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit theaters August 5, 2016.

10 worst CGI in superhero movies
Green Lantern fires a machine gun in Green Lantern.

Computer-generated imagery can make or break a movie, and superhero movies are especially reliant on such effects. VFX artists pour all their sweat and tears into bringing comic book heroes and villains to life, and they don't always get the recognition they deserve.

However, when these artists don't have the right tech or are put under strict deadlines, the resulting CGI can be so awful that people on the internet will never let it go. While not everything in a film can be 100% perfect, there have been a handful of superhero movies with scenes or characters that could have used some more time in postproduction.

While many people these days complain about movies being too long, there are still plenty of movies that should've been longer, even the ones now considered masterpieces. If certain films had more time to develop their characters and plotlines, they certainly would've been looked upon much more fondly by audiences.

From superhero epics to horror pictures like Candyman, these films deserved more time to flesh out their characters and develop their plots. Some audiences might not like having to sit still in theaters, but it would've been worth it for these movies to improve in quality.
