==Biography==

===''[[Suicide Squad (film)|Suicide Squad]]''===
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by [[Superman]]'s selfless act, [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]] enlists the help of his newfound ally, [[Wonder Woman|Diana Prince]], to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of [[Meta Human|metahumans]] to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented [[Justice League|league of heroes]]—Batman, Wonder Woman, [[Aquaman]], [[Cyborg]] and [[The Flash]]—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.<ref>[http://collider.com/justice-league-movie-synopsis/ ''Official ‘Justice League’ Synopsis and Logo Revealed'' - Collider]</ref>

====Constructing the Nano-Bombs====
  +
Sometime before the events of Suicide Squad, Dr. Van Criss was employed by Wayne Enterprises' weapons department. Through his research, he was able to develop the Nano-Bomb: a powerful explosive that was small enough to be injected into a victim. Once detonated, it would cause the victim's head to explode. Amanda Waller purchased the Nano-Bombs and used them to control Task Force X.

====Interrogated by the Joker====
==Production history==
 
  +
The Joker learned of the Nano-Bombs existence from Griggs, who also informed him of Van Criss' location. Joker and his gang then assaulted Van Criss Laboratories, using a bomb to incapacitate the security guard. After massacring countless doctors and employees, the Joker found Van Criss in a containment zone. He startled the doctor by firing at the shatterproof glass before showing him a live feed of his wife being tortured by Joker's gang. She begged Van Criss to obey the Joker, so Van Criss opened the lab door, allowing Joker and [[Jonny Frost]] to enter. To force Van Criss to obey him, Joker injected him with a spare Nano-Bomb.
Although [[Christopher Nolan]] was rumored to be directing ''Justice League'',<ref>[http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=8514:iesb-exclusive-big-plans-for-superman-batman-a-co&catid=43:exclusive-features&Itemid=73 IESB Exclusive: Big Plans For Superman, Batman & Co]</ref> Nolan himself ruled it out, but will likely produce the film. In June 2012, Will Beall was hired to write the screenplay for a ''Justice League'' film, in which [[Batman]], [[Superman]] and [[Wonder Woman]] would be the main characters.<ref>[http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/justice-league-movie-hopes-finally-bring-batman-superman-203740882.html ‘Justice League’ movie hopes to finally bring Batman and Superman together on screen]</ref><ref>[http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118055082 Beall writing 'Justice League' for Warner Bros.]</ref> [[Warner Bros.]] announced plans for the ''Justice League'' film to have a summer 2015 release date to compete with the sequel to ''The Avengers'', though they have yet to complete a script or officially hire a director.<ref>[http://screencrush.com/justice-league-summer-2015/ 'Justice League' Will Hit Theaters in 2015, Do Battle With 'The Avengers 2']</ref>

Joker brought Van Criss along with him during his rescue of Harley Quinn, as he was the only person who knew how to defuse the bomb. They were able to hijack one of Amanda Waller's planes, meeting her and the Suicide Squad on the roof of a building. As Frost and Joker opened fire on the Squad, Van Criss defused Harley's Nano-Bomb, allowing her to jump on-board the plane. As they flew away however, the plane was shot down by the United States Army, causing it to crash. Though Joker survived, Van Criss likely did not.
   
''[[Man of Steel]]'' director [[Zack Snyder]] stated, "I don't know how 'Justice League' is going to be handled. Honestly, I don't. But 'The Man of Steel' exists, and Superman is in it. I don’t know how you’d move forward without acknowledging that," during an interview with the New York Post in November 2012. He also claimed that Warner Bros. expects him to "keep them on course" as regards to their [[DC Extended Universe|cinematic universe]].<ref>[http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/zack-snyders-says-man-of-steel-will-keep-things-on-course-for-justice-league-20121126 Zack Snyder Says 'Man Of Steel' Will Keep Things "On Course" For 'Justice League']</ref> The Superman villains Brainiac and [[Doomsday]] are rumored to be possible antagonists.{{cite}}

"When it's time for you and I to say goodbye, you'll know
"When it's time for you and I to say goodbye, you'll know." ―Kent Nelson, Black Adam
This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the most recent DC Extended Universe content. You have been warned.

Dr. Van Criss was a scientist working for Wayne Enterprises and an ally of A.R.G.U.S., known to have been the one to create the nano-bombs that Amanda Waller would implant into the Suicide Squad members. He was, however, later apprehended and tortured by the Joker, forced to help the latter free Harley Quinn, but was himself killed in the process.
