Starro was the first villain that brought the original Justice League together in The Brave and the Bold #28.

Now some have noticed in the officially released behind-the-scenes video (around 0:45) for The Suicide Squad you can see some soldiers (for a literal millisecond) on the ground being attacked by Starro’s minions like a facehugger from Aliens. Which basically confirms Starro indeed comes to the DC Cinematic Universe…
