Jared Leto’s Joker Officially Revealed

Director David Ayer has revealed the first official image of Jared Leto as The Joker in Suicide Squad. Take a look at The Killing Joke homage below.

For comparison, check out The Killing Joke’s Joker below.

Leto’s Joker retains the chalky pigmentation, dark eyeliner, and green hair the character’s known for, but features some new tattoos, including a skull-faced Jester, and some iconic Joker imagery — including a wide smile and long strings of laughter. Additionally, you can see a series of Ace of spades, and ink reminiscent of Joker’s chattering-teeth toy on his left hand, and the usual purple glove (albeit a rubber one) on the right. Common will join Jared Leto’s Joker, we learned this week, alongside Will Smith’s Deadshot and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, with David Ayer directing. Suicide Squad is currently in production in Toronto and is set to hit theaters on August 5, 2016.
