SUICIDE SQUAD: Jared Leto Has A Very Interesting iPhone Background Image
Some paparazzi shots of the Suicide Squad actor out and about in New York (still sporting his green hair) reveal that he's using a very specific Joker-related image for his iPhone. Has he been researching this particular comic arc for his role, or is he just a fan of the cover art?
As you can see, Leto's phone background is the cover to Detective Comics Vol.2 #1, by Tony Daniel. This issue marked the first appearance of The Joker in DC's "New 52", and is also infamous for kicking off a story arc that saw the iconic Batman villain slice his own face off. Not something that's likely to happen in Suicide Squad of course - but does this indicate that Leto and David Ayer could be taking inspiration from this more recent incarnation of the Joker for the movie? Heath Ledger's take was definitely more influenced by the classic stories, so it would make sense that they'd want to change things up a bit this time. Then again, Leto might just be a fan of the cover! What do you guys think?
