Earlier today David Ayer posted the first official picture of Jared leto as the joker in the up coming suicide squad movie and my initial reaction was that it works...for the most part. Intially I wasn't too sure about the tattoos but dcs batman is based on Frank Millar's work it makes sense that their joker is too (in all star batman joker had many tattoos albeit it was a giant dragon). I honestly only question the face tattoos and teeth. I initially thought the teeth to simply be dirty but it turns out he seems to have metal teeth probably replacing all the teeth he lost from being punched in the face too many times by batman. Heath ledger's joker took the character to new levels but Leto's version shows us the true chaos and insanity that the joker has while hopefully keeping the the intelligence and charm of ledgers. Though im mainly thankful they aren't rehashing the old and trying something new which hopefully pays off. All that's left is to wait for Harley Quinn.
