Hes wearing the sweatpants! Git 'em!
 
It's honestly not the Joker to me unless he's wearing his purple suit or the vest. I don't mind the look, and I'm sure Leto will up the batshit crazy meter to 11 so I'll give it a chance, but the sweats and coat just don't look good.
 
The latest issue of Empire Magazine doesn't reveal a whole lot about what we should expect from Suicide Squad in terms of the plot (like all of Warner Bros.' upcoming DC Comics movies, it's shrouded in secrecy), but they do have a description of a scene which sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun! It kicks off with Deadshot, Diablo, Boomerang, Slipknot, Harley Quinn, and Killer Croc on board a Chinook helicopter, joined by a small cadre of Navy SEALs. Both they and Task Force X are led by Rick Flag, but it's then that someone else joins them; Katana. The twist here however is that she's actually a volunteer, and Flag's bodyguard! Here's the dialogue from the sequence:

"She's got my back," Flag informs the Squad. "I'd advise not getting killed by her - her sword traps the souls of its victims." Harley extends her hand, perky and smirky. "Harley Quinn, nice to meetcha. Love your perfume. What is that: Stench of Death?"


That sounds perfect, but were you expecting Killer Croc to act as Suicide Squad's comedic relief? Believe it or not, it sounds as if that's the plan, with this scene also featuring him throwing up chunks of half digested goat meat on the floor of the helicopter. He then scoops it back up and shovels it into his mouth, something which makes the tough Navy SEALs recoil...Ayer hadn't given them a heads up! By far the most interesting revelation here though is the fact that Katana is a volunteer, while the mention about her sword trapping the souls of its victims definitely points to an adherence to the source material despite all the talk of these movies being grounded!

Face? Alright. Tattoos and pimp cane? Alright I'm still with ya. Sweatpants and barefoot? Tryhard as fuck. Still excited because it's Leto, but this design I'm just not feeling. At least they had the good sense to remove the "damaged" across his forehead.

pretty sure it's still there
 
Track pants? Really? Maybe they are going for the crazy to be wearing that combo vibe?

The jacket is swag as fuck, but man...those pants.
 
Will probably look better on film

Well...hopefully. I get that they're going for an extreme, scary, unsettling Joker. As such, the character is going to look pretty ridiculous under bright lights.
 
He looked good in the trailer and bad in pictures. Let's see. Not a fan of the figurine but I am confident that Leto can do it right.

But they ARE playing it safe. There's all this side press about how GUYS, THE ROLE IS ACTUALLY CONSUMING JARED LETO, HE MIGHT ACTUALLY START KILLING PEOPLE HE'S SO IN CHARACTER (by mailing dead rats to his co-stars) in the sense that they're trying to show that he's trying to surpass Heath Ledger as being in character for his role.

I am not sure that you understand what 'playing it safe' means.

Dio said:
Because it's the lamest publicity stunt ever and is just riding off of Heath Ledger's coattails by essentially amping up the crazy up to eleven and 'outdo him' because Ledger did such an amazing performance AND THEN HE DIED?

I am now sure that you don't understand what "playing it safe" means.
 
Looks cool. Definitely someone who doesn't give two flying fucks; and probably the centre of the criminal party scene in Gotham.

A really stupid speculation at that. Robin older than Batman? Now that would be odd.

Why do you think he's older? Movie Batman is supposed to be like Miller Batman, old, grouchy, really long in the business and Leto's Joker looks rather young. I could see it. And I rather see it than this terrible Joker.
 
Dio said:
Yep. There's no inherent problem with that, it's just the way they're going about it is the lamest thing ever:

What I got from that was "Jared Leto sends thematically appropriate gifts to fellow cast members", "Jared Leto is excited to show off his Joker character in live concert by doing a 3 second voice," and "cast member doesn't want to break other actor out of character, partially due to it being disrespectful, but also due to the performance being impressively intimidating."

...Like... am I supposed to be cringing while reading these or something?

Everyone knowing and loving Ledger's performance and then 'guys, we made him EVEN CRAZIER!!!!!!' is not exactly going out on a limb.
 
"She's got my back," Flag informs the Squad. "I'd advise not getting killed by her - her sword traps the souls of its victims."

Is that a joke or are they going full comic book stupid with the DCU?
 
Guys

what if Batman killed the original Joker, like the cool one. But Joker had a Joker wife and a Joker son. Without a strong Joker father figure, Joker son became a rebel and started disrespecting his Joker mom, who was too busy working two Joker jobs to deal with a misbehaving child, and Joker son was always just seeking attention from somebody.

Me some joker to love find me

some joker to love find me some joker to LOVE LOVE LOVE

ANYBODY FIND MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Some Joker to. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.
 
The more I think about it, the more disastrous this film looks. It's like it's trying too hard to be both realistic and comic bookish at the same time, and then added some weird gritty urban spray-paint-and-tattoos vibe just for shits and giggles.

I mean, what the hell:

I'm all for a new take on Joker. I doubt I would have been as excited if it was just what we're used to. It's ok to see something new every once in awhile.

I don't see any problem with that image. They are going for a more "serious" look for the characters. In my opinion, they succeded. Deadshot especially, looks perfect in the trailer, like Harley Quinn.

If they directly said "This performance is crazier than Ledger's" then perhaps, but they didn't.

The character is insane. He has always been insane. All they are doing is talking about an actor's method to preparing and performing a certain character. A certain character who is, arguably, one of the craziest characters seen on screen.

And you still cannot grasp what I mean about "playing it safe" (which would be to literally copy Ledger's Joker in design and performance) and why your argument is utterly flawed.
 
I like it. They definitely seem to be aiming for a more monstrous gangster kind of Joker then we've seen before. They really look to be going full blown insane with him too which is something The Dark Knight didn't really go to deeply into but 89 Batman touched on.
