As with most of Suicide Squad, they didn't care about going depth to the characters. They were just gimmicks and nothing else, aside from the ones you mentioned and Will Smith (not calling him Deadshot). Wouldn't care? Nobody cared about The Infinity Gauntlet in Thor because nobody who is new to this would know what that is. Anyone who has lived knows about Batman and Robin from the numerous pieces of merch, movies, and shows they have been in. So when Robin's dead suit appears in the Batcave, you can bet some people would want to know about that.
