Jared Leto is returning to the DC Comics fold, reprising his role as the Joker from 2016’s “Suicide Squad” in Zack Snyder’s new version of “Justice League,” Vari…

It’s unclear whether Leto was always meant to appear in “Justice League” before Snyder left the feature in early 2017 in advance of significant reshoots by filmmaker Joss Whedon, or if Leto is a new addition given the four-hour length of Snyder’s updated “Justice League,” which will premiere on HBO Max in 2021.

Regardless, Leto’s involvement further knits together Snyder’s “Justice League” with “Suicide Squad,” which featured Ben Affleck’s Batman in a cameo role as he tried to take down Leto’s Joker and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” also directed by Snyder, features a shot of the costume for Batman’s sidekick Robin with “Ha Ha Ha Joke’s on you Batman” scrawled over top — a reference to the Batman comic storyline in which the Joker kills Robin.

I stopped listening after amber heard was announced

The 'Snyder Cut' existed, no really, we pinky swear!

Well,...I 'was' looking forward to this film.

Who was everyone's favorite Joker Caesar Romero Jack Nicholson Heath Ledger JaredLeto Joaquin Phoenix I think for me its Jack. He had that cartoon villainy to him like the comic but was still pretty dark and badass.

Okay seriously why this film? What role would Joker do in Justice Leauge? This film is looking more bloated than Amazing Spider-Man 2.

ewwww

On HBOMax

This time

Hope he's good

I really liked him as The Joker.

I can’t believe this is still a talking point.

The Only Joker I want

Boo

DCEU fans are gonna be pleased with his performance this time around simply because no interference from STUDIO!! WelcomeBackMrJ JaredLetoJoker

No, thank you.

yes! i knew it! let my man redo his joker with a director thats not a joke 😔

So there really isn't a cut because they're still casting and doing additional photography? 🤷‍♀️

Reminder that this time he will be in better hands, and will be handled completely in a different way with better material. So let's wait before judging him.

What year is it

Dejen en paz unos años el personaje de joker por favor!!! Lo van a volver trillado y sin sentido.

sroark_97

And I guess the joke is on us now 😬

No no. Take it back.

I am looking forward to ZS Justice League. But I an looking forward more to season 2!

It was a crap story,crapmovie and crap tole. Jared, Darling, I woulda told you better.

Yikes sounds awful

Who’s excited for a cult leader to play a cult leader?

👀🤨

It's not good.

I’m fucking done with DC. Their movies always suck.

Who asked for this

No thanks, I know no joker but Mark Hamill or Cam Monaghan

If there isn’t any interaction between him and affleck Batman in this, then what was the point?

If JaredLeto gave two fckd about his fans.. he would have spared them from a second portrayal of this travesty... Clearly has not read the reviews from suicide squad... You're acting was trash that's why your parts were trimmed down...

Bruhunka hunka

Yay!

Why would you do this when you just had an amazing Joker movie that had nothing to do with him?

It's a complete waste of money if you ask me. But I guess this is what happens when Joaquin Phoenix won't make Joker 2. Jared just doesn't have what it takes. He failed in the first movie and I expect him to fail in the new one. Just being honest. His acting is a letdown.

Hie whole team is like “ fuck!!!”

Good, he deserves his chance.

🔥

😐

BobDigi69 Didn't refer to it as Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Jared Leto. Worst. Joker. Ever. No argument. 🤮

great news!!!

THANK YOU!!!!! 😭😭😭 THIS MEANS EVERYTHING ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Can’t wait for the new version to be just as bad as the old version

Joaquin Phoenix was great as Joker, why couldn’t they bring him back

It’ll be better they said. Haha

Yes! He will be vindicated. I'm sure his best performances never made it to final print of the first film. That guy is a fucking solid actor, and that film could've been better. It's the director who dropped the ball, not the cast. JaredLeto will have justice. joker jaredleto

IDC I liked his joker. I can’t wait to see this.

I truly dont understand the ppl that like his Joker. Someone PLEASE explain to me what about his Joker was good, based ONLY on what you saw in Suicide Squad

Yes.

Nmms este joker se ve bien crikoso

I can taste the salty ledger fan boys through my screen

how unfortunate

paulmac708

And Zack Snyder let's the World know that he's still a shitty, wanna Filmmaker.

I like it how all the people in the comments were the ones saying it never existed, itll never come out and that we should get over it, are still here 3 years later complaining about the snydercut when its coming out. I for one can not wait for this. ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

When kids think there getting what they want for Christmas but that get books instead

Whatever interest I might have had in the SnyderCut is fully gone now.

Joaquin Phoenix is better

He’s a weird joker

2020 is the worst.

Come on...

NOOOOOO

whhaaaaat? Joaquin Phoenix was so impactful as Joker. It’s one of those situations where anybody else who takes on the role will fall short. So to go back to someone who was arguably the worst Joker (not his fault) is a terrible idea

Fuck.. yes

Wow! He plays such a great joker

Hopefully he's only onscreen long enough to kill Lois and get destroyed by Superman.

honestly, i feel like he deserves another shot considering suicide squad as a whole wasnt that great (sorry about it)

🥳

So, in other words the Snyder Cut is just '4 hours of shit'.

mmmm12yearolds BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Why wouldn’t the Ben Afleck Batman not murder this Joker immediately?

Great, just the ayer's cut is missing now.

AAAAAAAA

Why, the man was terrible

So great, I can't wait! Jared Leto rocked that role. Gonna be great seeing him cut loose in JL! WelcomeBackMrJ ReleaseTheAyerCut

Horrible decision! I don't even consider him as part of the Joker legacy. Nicholson, Ledger, Phoenix & Hamil are the true Jokers. His performance was terrible & he should just accept that fact instead of crying to everyone.

Didn’t like his last role,, but at the same time he was only playing what was given to him

I really don’t get y everyone hated on his joker. The psychoticness he brought to the character was amazing and completely fresh abs different from previous versions

Uggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!! JaredLeto the best Joker!!!!!!

I think this is GREAT....his Joker deserves another chance to shine brighter than he did in SS

Let me reply with

Is this whole desperately want the Snyder Justice League cut released an internet joke that got out of hand? I thought it was genuine, but now they're pretending genuine enthusiasm about the return of Leto's Joker? That can't be real, can it?

There's me thinking 2020 couldn't get any worse

Good for Leto.

BOOO BOOO. WORST JOKER EVER!

Cut it out, 2020!

HERE'S GONNA LOOK AND ACT THE SAME. Why would his joker suddenly have no tattoos and stop acting like a pimp? He's garbage

W

yes

IKOTHERAINMAN

“Must miss!”

Bring it on!! ZackSnyder JaredLeto Let’s also get DavidAyerMovies Suicide Squad cut in the mix and really tie these two movies together!! ATT WarnerMedia jasonkilar HBOMaxPR hbomax ZackSnydersJusticeLeague JusticeLeague jaredleto joker

Who asked for this? Except for him of cause.

omg im excited

ReleaseTheAyerCut

It’s awesome how hamfisted edgy he is. Maybe he could go full fukboi and release a rich boy white rap song for the soundtrack?

Is this still supposed to be the “good version”?

NOOO

🤘🏽

He did well in this role.

ZackSnyderBible

He deserves a second chance (I didn't like his version of the character in theatrical cut of SS), he deserves more imo.
