Dec 2, 2014 "The film will star two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness, Ali) as Deadshot; Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road) as Rick Flagg; Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, Focus) as Harley Quinn; Oscar winner Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club, Alexander) as the Joker; Jai Courtney (Divergent, The Water Diviner) as Boomerang; and Cara Delevingne (Anna Karenina, upcoming Pan) as Enchantress." How do you guys feel about Leto as Joker? Also what about this vs. Sinister Six
Dec 2, 2014 I could see his portrayal being in a similar vein to Hamil's Joker in Batman: The Animated Series given his body type and disposition. His best role was Requiem for a Dream and that movie was all kinds of dark and f----- up. Sounds great but it's up to the screenwriters to do it effectively.
Dec 2, 2014 I love Margot as Harley. It's my dream casting for the character. I'm indifferent about everyone else.
Dec 3, 2014 Really think they could make Leto into a great Joker. If they somewhat keep the long hair and have it maybe falling down in his face, and he adjusts his posture to that of Ledger's, that could make for a creepy looking joker. Also, can't wait for a Will Smith vs Batman fight sometime in the 2020's
Dec 3, 2014 Stoked for the movie and for Leto but really hope he makes the character of the Joker his own and doesn't justvtry to mirror Ledger's Joker.
Dec 3, 2014 I would've preferred to see Tom Hardy as Deadshot more than Will Smith. Excited as f--- for this film though. This is what Margot Robbie could look like as Harley Quinn
Dec 3, 2014 Harley used to be cutesy as f---, I'd rather they went with a Batman: TAS influenced Harley. Something like this. Anything post-TAS is too edgy and strangely sexualized for a character like Harley. She was always meant to be a child-like character.
Dec 3, 2014 Having Harley like that would be awesome. I always preferred the wacky, child-like Harley than what she is now. I'd say Jared's Joker could be a fuse of Batman TAS Joker with a little bit of dark gritty Joker from The Dark Knight. If they have the characters interact and more like their Batman: TAS counter parts that would be f---ing awesome
Dec 4, 2014 Tbh Ive only ever watch TDK trilogy so I feel out of touch with all these superhero movies. Feel like I've missed the boat. This looks big though
Dec 4, 2014 I would imagine they are going to try and distance leto's joker from ledgers as much as possible. My money is on the clean cut version like in the animated series. I don't know for sure yet but i might be working on this movie. Iv'e always wanted those big superhero movies to come over here.. and this is pretty d--- big..
Dec 7, 2014 Do you think they will go perma-white or just makeup like Heath? I am assuming it will probably be the latter.
Jan 3, 2015 Can't wait to see Leto as The Joker. His ability to diverse himself as an actor (shown in Mr.Nobody and Dallas Buyer's Club) gives me a good feeling about him playing The Joker. I also think he is smart enough, and talented enough not to try and mirror Ledger's Joker. I think he will give us a kind of Joker that will be unique in many ways.
