Taking cues from an episode of The New Batman Adventures, where Joker hired a woman to look like Harley and then almost killed her when he tired of her, the theory puts forth that these women are meant to be a Harley surrogates for Joker during the time of Harley's incarceration. Then, of course, with this not being an animated series, he does kill them when he eventually snaps. When presented with this theory, by a #ReleasetheAyer Cut advocate, Ayer confirmed the idea.

Ayer recently stated that a director’s cut -- aka "Ayer's Cut" -- of Suicide Squad would be “easy to complete.” Fans started a #ReleasetheAyerCut movement after it was announced that Warner Bros. was putting $30 million into completing the Snyder Cut of Justice League for HBO Max. That news, plus years of reports on Jared Leto Joker scenes being cut and the film's overall tone being changed into something more comedic, has many people wanting to see Ayer's original Suicide Squad see the light of day.
