Jared Leto IS The Joker - - - - - - - Part 16

[BlZARRO]

Agreed. The "grill" changes his natural "look" so much that Joker doesn't look like Leto, I think it helps his performance, no need to remove those.

I wouldn't mind if they remove a few tattoos though, especially the "Damaged" on on his forehead.

Edit: Welcome here.

He doesn't look like Leto or The Joker. He looks like a cosplayer.

So if that Leto fan was remembering it right, it sounds like Leto is conscious of the divisive opinion regarding the look of the character.

*cough* REDESIGN *cough*

Oh yeah, when he was asked about the tats and grill in some magazine interview a couple months ago he made sure to clarify it was David Ayer's doing and vision for the character.

Really? Bit surprised by that. I always suspected Leto might have had some creative input on those.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Ayer didn't know how to write this character.

Yeah found this looking for it - http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/15/jared-leto-joker-suicide-squad

What specific things did you bring to it?
I think the most important thing I brought was probably not to do with the outside but with the internal. But you know David was specific with tattoos. They were his idea but there was a lot to play with. Who knows what will end up in the final film?

Seriously?! I swear to God most of this backlash should be going to Ayer not to Leto, yet everyone just thinks everything was Jared's idea

Yeah, I think it enhances his smile in a uniquely different way. I also wouldn't mind if a few tattoos went away. If they don't, cool, but they probably should at least get rid of the "Damaged" one. Even with Ayer's story behind it, it still doesn't really need to be there.

Yeah I'm sorry Ayer but there is no way you will make me like the Damaged tat. No matter what backstory you give it. It's just ****.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Have you guys listened to Ayer's interview on the Empire films podcast? He seems really pissed at the reception of the film.

Lol what did he say? Does he think he made a masterpiece, still? Journey of the soul?

Damn that's good

That looks fantastic.

1) I think it’s highly problematic a media outlet such way [sic] Batman-News.com is sourcing someone’s impressions posted on a tumblr account as some sort of fact – when no direct quotes from Jared were ever posted.

2) 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.

3) It’s no secret Jared feels disappointed in what ended up being the theatrical release of Suicide Squad. He’s discussed this repeatedly in interviews during the promotional tour in London. This is the same sentiment he shared in moments during Camp Mars – however he did say he had a lot of fun creating the joker and needs more joker as well.

4) I never meant or wanted my impressions over hearing Jared’s disappointments in the Suicide Squad editing to be taken out of context. It was interesting to hear him be so honest and open and while I captured 16 seconds of that particular moment on snapchat and shared it – there were dozens of people in that room videotaping minutes and possibly the entire event – as a request had never been made to not record it.

If that request had been made – I never would’ve recorded a second of it. I personally just really loved his vibe in that second, being about following his passions no matter what, that I wanted to share it.

The fact this has happened has made me very apprehensive over sharing any additional impressions or thoughts on Camp Mars. Which is unfortunate because it was a very entertaining weekend, Jared was lovely & lively, and I wanted to discuss so much.

Mark Hughes says for certain that Joker is in Ben's Batman movie along with multiple villains and it will revolve around Arkham

Max Landis started chirping about Leto's comments on Twitter.

Jared Leto saying he was "tricked" into doing Suicide Squad is personally and professionally reprehensible while also totally unsurprising.

... Better not be making him a side character yet again

Thats the fear, but at least the writing will be much stronger.

The ship has sailed on his appearance. No turning back. I like the "grill" (it's not a grill, don't know why people keep calling it that) though

Sidenote: Long time lurker, finally decided to sign up and contribute to the discussion

Here's hoping you somehow survived as well t:

 

[DeadStroke]

I'm still one of the few who actually hope they stick with the design. haha

Yeah she posted it on tumblr on the day of that news/journalism fiasco. She has been sharing, thank God, other videos from the Camp and haven't stopped posting even though Batman News clearly put her in the spotlight without even contacting her first.

If that's the case then definitely bad form on the website's part. Can't really accuse her of fanning the flames if she's been posting videos consistently.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

tumblr and everybody that uses it is ****ing awful and should be ignored.

 

[Luke234]

Latino review and den of geek reported this feud and who can be recast etc. then today after things cleared up they're gone from the website. Lol. Cowards.

At least they took that down. Many others didn't.

 

[KillerWolf]

For some reason I find that this look doesn't work for Leto's Joker.

 

[The Joker]

Cheers. Well at least I have someone specific to blame now for one my least fav elements of the character. If Ayer pushed for them then maybe a new director will do away with them. Fingers crossed.

I kind of agree.

Yep, he called it an "art film".
