First Official Image Of Jared Leto As 'The Joker' In SUICIDE SQUAD

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of The Joker, Suicide Squad director David Ayer has revealed the first official image of Jared Leto as the character. Covered in tattoos with metal teeth, a purple glove, and a very different kind of smile, this is the Clown Prince of Crime as you've never seen him before...

Well, that looks very different, but also pretty damn awesome! The tattoos are something new, but there's no signs of the scars that some sites reported he would have all over his body. There's one very obvious place he has some markings though, and that's inside his mouth. Those are metal crowns, and I'd be willing to bet that he has them because his teeth were all knocked out by Batman in a previous encounter with the Caped Crusader; he ruined his "smile". It looks like that smile will also be fairly normal (no scars like Heath Ledger or disfigurement like Jack Nicholson), but the inclusion of the purple glove, pale skin, and screen hair are all obviously straight from the comic books. What do you guys think of Suicide Squad's take on The Joker? Share your thoughts below...

Pasto - 4/24/2015, 5:37 PM

I kinda like it.

MisterBatfleck - 4/24/2015, 5:38 PM

Wow.

MisterBatfleck - 4/24/2015, 5:38 PM

Not sure if Joker, or white Lil Wayne...

supes123 - 4/24/2015, 5:38 PM

I thinks he looks awesome

MarkyMarkRises - 4/24/2015, 5:38 PM

Get rid of the smile tattoo on the forearm and the "damaged" tattoo on the forehead

KingJames - 4/24/2015, 5:39 PM

I totally see what DC is doing and it's AWESOME

dickmastaflex - 4/24/2015, 5:40 PM

I really hate it

MrBlackJack - 4/24/2015, 5:40 PM

Huh

dickmastaflex - 4/24/2015, 5:41 PM

Ives just pale hardly white

TheEpicJuicebox - 4/24/2015, 5:41 PM

Damn it

MisterBatfleck - 4/24/2015, 5:41 PM

And before you guys flip your shit about the design, is he REEEALLY going to be running around the movie shirtless the entire time?

But I must admit, the teeth have got to go.

darkjedv - 4/24/2015, 5:41 PM

horrible

Pasto - 4/24/2015, 5:41 PM

It ain't to bad, but it ain't to good either. A LOT to be desired here.

TheEpicJuicebox - 4/24/2015, 5:42 PM

Just get rid of the forehead tat and he'll look good

xxxxxxx - 4/24/2015, 5:42 PM

That looks pretty incredible. Not digging the Smile tattoo or "Damaged" on the forehead, but I LOVE that it's so radically different. But keep in mind that he won't be running around shirtless, so the tattoos aren't going to be much of an issue.

CommanderShepard - 4/24/2015, 5:42 PM

Lol...that is crazy. I love it. I think

thebearjew - 4/24/2015, 5:42 PM

this is garbage

supes123 - 4/24/2015, 5:42 PM

i don't think he'll have the tattoos in the movie, in that pic of him in the suit, you can't see the tattoo on his head. might be just from the qaulity tho.

dickmastaflex - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

Haha who's says he won't be shirtless

MartiBro14 - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

I wonder who knocked all of those teeth out:)

Brainiac13 - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

WOW!!!!

He looks [frick]ing insane.....crazy insane!!!!

JDUKE25 - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

This....is.......dumb.

NeoBaggins - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

He's going to put his arm up to his face. Hilarious and creepy.

thebearjew - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

supes123 you cant see anything on him becuz its a shitty photo taken from a dozen yards away of a phone screen

dickmastaflex - 4/24/2015, 5:43 PM

I feel like it's so close but so far
