Today on Twitter, David Ayer revealed what Jared Leto, as The Joker, is going to look like in the upcoming Suicide Squad. Let's take a look at Leto's look for this iconic role and Batman villain.
This is a very different Joker than we've seen in the books or in the films in the past. It's a quite a departure from the most recent film version of the character, played by Heath Ledger, who tapped more into the "calm crazy" side of Joker.
Although it's just a picture, Leto has really tapped into the "obnoxiously crazy" side of the character, maybe something we see more in the current BATMAN storyline, "Endgame." What about those tattoos? Well, they may be a bit much and a tad silly, but all of this rides on Leto's performance, and if you're late to the party, he's a really fantastic actor. Just go check out Dallas Buyers Club for proof.
Once again, like a few instagram posts in the past, we have a Killing Joke pose. Is the Suicide Squad version of this character taking its cues from that book? We'll find out on August 5, 2016 when Suicide Squad hits theaters.
