Jada Toys recently released a new set of Suicide Squad METAL Diecast figures, a set that includes Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, and The Joker.

The Joker specifically is the one that popped up on fans radar, as it included a previously unseen back tattoo (via Comicbookmovie) that homages a tattoo that appeared in the comics. The black dragon seen on the figure is similar to a red dragon that was designed by Jim Lee for Frank Miller's Joker in his All-Star Batman & Robin series. The figure is movie accurate when it comes to the other tattoos, like the "damaged" and "HaHaHaHa" seen on his forehead and wrist, so it stands to reason we'll see his dragon back tattoo in the film.

The red dragon ink first showed up in All-Star Batman & Robin #8, a series that pulled heavily from themes and characters established in Miller's own The Dark Knight Returns. Jim Lee talked previously about the creation of the Tattoo to CBR, saying: "As for my part, I know that when I added the Dragon tattoo on Joker's back that I combed through all the other Frank Miller Batman stories to make sure there was never a shot which contradicted that tattoo. In fact, the only parts of Joker that were exposed and tattoo free were his face, his upper chest and his forearms and hands, so that's why I ran with the tattoo on the back after running it by Frank and then editor Bob Schreck for approval."
