First Look: Jared Leto’s Joker Revealed

Jared Leto’s Joker transformation for The Suicide Squad has been closely watched.  David Ayers has revealed the first official photo of Jared Leto’s Joker, and he looks… interesting.  It all started with the haircut, which changed to a bright green.  A couple blurry photos later, we get our first glimpse at the final product.

Personally I’m not crazy about the tattoos, but I’m sure The Joker won’t be shirtless for much of the movie, sorry ladies. But overall, I’m optimistic.  This is the third integration of Joker on the big-screen (not counting the original 1966 Batman), and every take has been unique.  However mind-numbingly interesting this has been, it’s slightly ridiculous how closely we’ve been watching Jared Leto’s decent into becoming Batman’s most well-known foe.   But hey, it is The Joker.
