Jared Leto as The New Joker First Look - Suicide Squad - 2016


Wait till they get a load of me! And here we go....!!!

For everything this incarnation of The Joker has going for it...there's something...erm...I don't know, just...I don't know...

Let's think, well this has that Killing Joke look, which is a fan favourite...maybe staying so close to a certain source sometimes doesn't quite work out? I mean it may work perfectly on the 2D pages of a graphic novel...but that doesn't mean it will translate well into live action?

The Joker is one of the most iconic characters in history...not just comic book history...I mean all time history, even including olde time history, and yes even the boring kind about crop rotation in the 17th Century.

I will admit, yeah he looks friggin out of his mind...but, and this is only based on this one brightly lit picture, he looks like a reject from a 2000's Nu-Goth Metal band...a Marilyn Manson sidekick.

This is a far cry from when fans gasped at their first look at Heath Ledger, another actor no one wanted in the role, as The Joker.
Only time will tell!

A secret government agency run by Amanda Waller, named A.R.G.U.S creates a task force comprised of super villains. They call it: the Suicide Squad because sometimes... they don't come back. They are assigned to execute dangerous tasks in exchange for shorter prison sentences.
