If you’re into your fan films then this maybe just the video for you. Coming from the Youtube channel ismahawk, we see The Dark Knight’s portrayal of the Joker go one on one against Suicide Squad’s own Prince of Crime.
With Heath Ledger’s Joker being universally praised by comic book fans and moviegoers alike, Jared Leto always had huge shoes to fill when he took over the role. Unfortunately for him, it seems as if he was never destined for an easy ride when the first promotional image was released which showed a uniquely tattooed and grilled Joker.
After a heavy promotion campaign which put the Joker in the forefront of proceedings, the majority of Leto’s performance was left on the cutting room floor and had left the majority of fans feeling cheated by the end credits. With some comic book purists instantly put off by Leto’s portrayal due to his overall image there were plenty of other admires who believed his performance was fresh enough to mix things up.
Only time will tell if he returns to the role in a much bigger capacity in future instalments within the DC Cinematic Universe.
For now however, feast your eyes on this chaotic extravaganza below:
