Suicide Squad News: Jared Leto Considered for Joker?

[GBglide]

Please pause from your thoughtful, page long analysis to answer one of my stupid short questions.

Why is the Joker not pure white, just kind of albino? It bothers me. 

[The Joker]

LOL!

I don't think it's ever addressed in the film, so best guess ... artistic license? Going with otherworldly pale, instead of the traditional chalk white. Though I thought Leto appeared alot more chalk white in certain scenes than Harley ever did.

That's albino? Interesting.

But seriously, it works from the standpoint of fuzzy comic book science and logic. Plus it visually distinguishes Leto's Joker from his predecessors. I'm cool with that.

In an interview with Empire, Ayer has confirmed the Joker got his grill and tattoos after Batman knocked his teeth out following the death of Robin:

"This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection. But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It's in the asylum where Joker would have done the 'damaged' tattoo as a message to Batman saying, 'You've damaged me. I was so beautiful before and now you've destroyed my face.' That's where the grill comes from."

It's revealed in the movie that Harley was an accomplice to Robin's murder:

So if Harley helped Joker kill Robin, and Joker had his teeth knocked out and acquired his tattoos after Robin's death, then why does he have his grill and "Damaged" tattoo in the scenes before Quinzel becomes Harley?

[The Joker]

That really doesn't add up, and why does it have to be the act of the Joker killing Robin that prompts Batman to knock his teeth out? Given Affleck's Batman, I could see him doing that just for being overly antagonized.

Here's a nice little 'biographic' on cinematic Joker's.

Leto has allegedly expressed his dissatisfaction about the final cut for Suicide Squad without actually seeing it yet, while getting caught on camera saying "f*** 'em" to WB.

[The Dark Knight]

I understand his frustration. Investing himself into a part only for it to be trimmed back.

[The Laughing Fish]

I only hope he'll stick around to play the Joker again.

Bloody WB and their pandering to critics.

[The Dark Knight]

My guess is he'll be back. I can't see Affleck wasting him in a solo film.

Despite using that headline, CMB has clarified his comment had nothing to do with the cut of the film, with the tumblr poster who filmed Leto's interview saying the following to them:

The 9 second "[frick] em" snapchat video had been posted identifying that that was Jared's response to his contract asking he not rock climb while filming. That was all it was in regards to. If a media outlet wants to take it out of context to get people to click on an article that has no direct basis beyond someone's impressions – that's on them.
