David Ayer Teases SUICIDE SQUAD Sets And Jared Leto's "Majestic" Take On THE JOKER

David Ayer has Tweeted out a fairly unrevealing image of the construction of sets for Suicide Squad, but could they be our first look at the construction of Belle Reve? The Fury director has also addressed Jared Leto's take on The Joker, and it definitely sounds like we're in for a treat...

David Ayer continues to provide updates from the set of Suicide Squad, and the latest offers up a look at the sets being constructed for the DC Comics adaptation which will follow Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next year. He also sheds some more light on Jared Leto's (Dallas Buyers Club) take on The Joker, describing him as "Majestic". The Oscar winning actor will make his debut as the Clown Prince of Crime alongside Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Cara Delevigne as Enchantress. Are you excited for "skwad"?

The craftsmanship that goes into a film set is astounding. The carpentry, sculpture and painting is worldclass. #skwad

We're most definitely getting the comic accurate Joker or at least more of that style.

MartiBro14 - 2/28/2015, 11:11 AM

This is for sure the comic book Joker. Makes me giddy.

GuardianAngel - 2/28/2015, 11:13 AM

@TronVin

is that insider info or just wishful thinking?

ThedamnBatman - 2/28/2015, 11:15 AM

Good stuff, Ayer seems very passionate about the project, which is greahaahahahaHAHAAHHAHA

Enphlieuwince - 2/28/2015, 11:15 AM

Can't wait... So many potentially great movies that year. I wish I could just buy a membership to the theater and come as I please.

TronVin - 2/28/2015, 11:15 AM

@GuardianAngel

Wishful thinking.

MartiBro14 - 2/28/2015, 11:15 AM

And before Dexter gets here...

Azazel1 - 2/28/2015, 11:16 AM

Nice....

Invictor - 2/28/2015, 11:17 AM

I can't wait to see more stuff about this. I'm still wondering about Enchantress's place in the skwad.

LEVITIKUZ - 2/28/2015, 11:17 AM

I'm hoping for a Joker who looks like the this concept art from Arkham Origins. Little Legder, little Bermejo, little Jack, little BTAS.

ThedamnBatman - 2/28/2015, 11:19 AM

@Enphlieuwince

We haqve that here, 16pounds a month and you can watch as many movies as you want

GuardianAngel - 2/28/2015, 11:20 AM

I'm holding my judgement until the actual movie. I've learned by now that forming an opinion before seeing anything can lead to extreme disappointment. *Ahem* Man of Steel *Ahem* Iron Man 3!

I really hope this is good, but by now I've lost hope in Warner Bros in managing the DCU, I hope they prove me wrong.

Invictor - 2/28/2015, 11:22 AM

@LEVITIKUZ

That's the greatest Joker design I've ever seen.

Tars - 2/28/2015, 11:22 AM

I hope he's like this

Invictor - 2/28/2015, 11:22 AM

I hope that's the look they're going for in the movie.

MartiBro14 - 2/28/2015, 11:23 AM

If there is one good thing you can say about arkham origins it is that they nailed the Joker.

LEVITIKUZ - 2/28/2015, 11:23 AM

MarkyMarkRises - 2/28/2015, 11:23 AM

Definitely some passionate production going on; good to know there's some talent behind it too.

EhMaybeSays - 2/28/2015, 11:23 AM

Did filming start because I thought Leto didn't audition.

ThedamnBatman - 2/28/2015, 11:24 AM

LEVITIKUZ

Yep, that's basically the Joker I'd love to see on the big screen for the next iteration of the character

LEVITIKUZ - 2/28/2015, 11:24 AM

@Superior

It was concept art for Arkham Origins.

The final product for the game is still a great design but I would have liked a bowtie with it.

ThedamnBatman - 2/28/2015, 11:26 AM

MiniMart10

I liked the gameplay as well, yes it wasn't as polished as Arkham City, but it wasn't terrible or anything, it still was a good game

TronVin - 2/28/2015, 11:28 AM

Unpopular opinion but I think the voice actors on Arkham Origins were better for that world than the Animated crew. They had that edge to their voices.

TronVin - 2/28/2015, 11:28 AM

@TheDudeRusty

April 15 is when filming begins. We should be seeing costume pics in the next couple weeks (I just realized right now that tomorrow is March)!

Tomorrow is Zack Snyder's birthday, so maybe he'll give us a treat!

MyNameIsKhan - 2/28/2015, 11:29 AM

Can't wait for this. Weird how I'm looking forward to this, Deadpool, and Doctor Strange more than Dawn of Justice

MartiBro14 - 2/28/2015, 11:29 AM

@AXE the gameplay was fun but the story just felt very off.

MartiBro14 - 2/28/2015, 11:30 AM

Uggh I wish dawn of justice came out early. most hyped CBM

sKeemAn - 2/28/2015, 11:33 AM

I just recently had 3 very strong feelings

1) Suicide Squad will probably be the best cbm of 2016

2) Jared Leto's Joker will be the best Joker prtrayed on screen.

3) This huge bulge in my pants!!!

Brainiac13 - 2/28/2015, 11:35 AM

I hope they take inspiration from Scott Snyder's version.........it's become my favourite.....

DaVinci31 - 2/28/2015, 11:37 AM

"Majestic"

Interesting.
