Could Jared Leto's Joker be saved/rehabilitated?
- Thread starter NTGYK
- Start date
I think the only disturbing thing about this Joker is how much work Ayer puts in to romanticizing this horrifically toxic and abusive relationship. It's one of the biggest problems of the movie, and its problems are bountiful.
The rest of it is, as you said, just baffling.
I saw Jared Leto at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?"
I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Man... I feel like I'm the only one that actually dug this take on the Joker. Mostly because there isn't one true Joker. The Joker has had so many different incarnations in comics . And I found Leto's over the top take kinda interesting. I hoped to see more of it.
lol you guys are so weird it's a copypasta I believe.
This is like people on here who are so offended and believe Leto was actually sending people condoms with Ejaculate in them.
Yeah, his "crazy" antics weren't all that crazy when you actually hear the real versions of them. Not the "hot take" versions. Did he send "used" condoms to his cast mates? Yes. But they were "used" as in, they just weren't in the packaging. It's not like he jizzed in them and sent them out. I don't think he's that stupid.
put him on the titans tv show for the 'death in the family' we're eventually gonna get. would be perfect
I remember people thinking it would be revealed later he wasn't the real Joker, because the tattoos were too obvious :p
problem is the pearl-clutchers here actually believe just read any thread about Leto.
Who cares? Those antics were cringe worthy try hard attempts that neither helped the case or his own character in the movie. Its laughable. Regardless of if they were actually used or not.
True, but heavily exaggerated. The condoms thing was apparently taken out of context. Not that there's a correct context for it, but he didn't have sex with a condom and then send it to his cast mates. Apparently he would just open condoms and make it look like they've been used by stretching them out or something.
It's just one interpretation of the Joker. The character has dozens of other interpretations.
The problem is that he appeared in a bad film, in a non-antagonist role. The Joker shines when he is at the spotlight as the villain, in his interaction with Batman. In Suicide Squad, he is there for the sake of being there.

it was all just marketing for the movie you are taking it way too serious.
I guess anything could happen, but It seems unlikely. I kinda liked the theory that this Joker was actually Robin at one point, but even that is a little weird.
I said who cares, why am i taking it seriously? Its just another dumb, cringe worthy thing that doesnt matter like the entirety of that character and movie.
When I saw the first image of his Joker I was put off by the tattoos but thought the surgical glove was an inspired interpretation of the classic gloves in his outfit, suggesting the depraved experimentation he conducted on Jason Todd.
In the film, it's hard to believe this was the Joker that fought Ben Affleck's Batman.

Yeah, exactly. Like they got halfway to an original take on the character but then they were just like, "I dunno, act nuts I guess. "
Yeah why not have Jason Todd come back?
edit: I like the idea of a robin becoming a young joker, and have always thought death in the family leading to Jason Todd becoming the joker being far more plausible than Dark Knight Strikes Again's theoryof dick Grayson being fired by Batman and then falling into criminal insanity.

These SS clips are giving me a headache.
This is even worse than I remember the movie. How did Harley teleport across the room like that?
Feels like he's channeling Jim Carrey in The Mask more than anything else.

I guess the answer is "maybe, but make sure the dude is treated for syphilis first"
