I’m not quite sure where to begin with this one because Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad was an absolute let down.
I’m not sure if it was Leto, David Ayer, or the folks at DC who misunderstood Joker going into Suicide Squad (maybe it’s a combination of all three), but the Task Force X team-up movie simply did almost nothing right with him.
As of right now, Jared Leto remains the DCEU’s resident evil clown, so let’s hope this can change by the time he makes his next appearance.
There’s absolutely no menace to the character, and none of his flamboyance feels backed up by any evil, malice, or insanity.
