Not even JP would shine very brightly with the crap storyline of Suicide Squad.

Oga true the storyline was piss. But actor gotta do his best with what he's given. After all the script won't perform for you, director's input can't turn you into what you are not. It's either you have it in you or not. If you good, you good. Each Joker performance from other actors have an identity to them. Which identity you fit correlate with Leto's apart from poor, poor,poor!!!!!

Is it not same Suicide Squad that Margot Robbie was discovered and praised for her Harley performance. Smith's Deadshot wasn't all that bad. Viola Davis was praised also for her Amanda Waller portrayal. So the fact is Leto na bad dream that I seriously wish to forget!

Leto is not an A-list actor, but it's not entirely his fault. The plot of SQ was very weak. Plus, you're forgetting that Heath, JP or JN had the storyline more focused on their character/their character arcs were more pronounced compared to Leto's Joker which had to share numerous screen time with other characters in a below par script.

All the more reason to adapt, improvise and overcome. Make the most of the limited screen time you're given. Make your character memorable. Go off script if it falls within purview. Leto didn't do any of that, and ended up portraying a cringey-esque Joker.

Leto is an A-Lister, btw. He doesn't do auditions, and he's expensive AF.

A good actor ought to make the most of what he's given; Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.

It's squarely his fault.

Nicholson shills are of the opinion that Nicholson's version of Joker was the best representation of the comic source material, but what they fail to grasp is the fact that Heath being the best Joker doesn't take anything away from Nicholson's portrayal, since the two are not mutually exclusive.

Exactly my view. They are all just gonna scream he's not the real Joker! Cos of no vat and skin bleach.

Oga you still get time dey argue with this gee. The moment he started saying Phoenix Joker is not Joker at all in the series thread I jakpa straight, I no follow am argue again. Imagine saying DC is shit because of Multiverses and a character having different origins but some level of similarity, forgetting that Marvel his idol have same. Eg. Spiderman, Wolverine I no fit mention sef.

Me wey I like mumu argument die, me sef get people wey I go see I go just give up leave the person to there mindset, cos no explanation and logic go fit change their prejudice. Na before I dey argue with person till him get sense. Now, I recognize such mofos I move on.

was told the actual movie is like 3 hours (Zack Snyder) but the one we saw (Joss Whedon) was an hour plus. Heck I chuckled when I was told it was darker and it's supposed to be the first part. grin

Marvel really did something to DC that's why one can never be great by imitating. Lol.

DC didn't imitate any shit, it was WB's idea to make it more or less like Avengers, that's what bleeped the movie with a butchered project. Bringing in Joss made things worse.

Stupid WB was afraid it was too long and would discourage theater goers. They didn't get the memo, forgot about Lord of The Rings trilogy and Endgame proved them stupid once more. If movie is good ppl will turn up. Especially a brand name as DC or Marvel.

With the #ReleasetheSnydercut campaign waxing strong with support from the actors eg. Ray Fisher, Momoa, Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot I hope the cut gets released. That stupid Kevin Tsujihara just messed things up for us big time.

He doesn't do audition, and yet he was given a peculiar role like the Joker? The joke is on the director then.

Oga I no draw any conclusions, I don't just like when people say Heath's Joker is not comic accurate or not Joker at all, just because Nicholson's Joker had the fallen in vat story and skin bleach.

Besides I plan to watch Nicholson's Joker full movie, just not yet. Got too many movies I need to check off my list.
but you literally said no one can be compared to Heath joker while admitting to having not seen Nicholson joker but you only saw barely a footage?
For what it's worth I'm not choosing either side, I think both played their roles well according to the scripts in their respective movies..... Heath joker is the more dramatic and also a lot recent so I can see why he edges it for the millennials

I'm not sure what else Leto could have done tbh......even Heath wouldn't done much with such script....

I don't know about Heath, but someone like Phoenix woulda wrecked that role. It's tailor made for him.

Lover boy joker kwa?

A little facial tick here, body language there, and a healthy dose of creepy laughter would have done the job. Leto didn't improvise. Will Smith did. Maggot Robbie did.

LMAO chai!! I am also guilty of this. I read silhouette and Harlequin books back then. I could stay awake all night just to finish with a book if it's interesting and engrossing. But motivational books I fit take 2 years read am finish, even ones I use my money buy.

I have not even finished reading a motivational or intellectual book before sef. Now no time again, smartphone and TV screen don finish me.

I didn't know he's an A-lister till tonight. I wonder why they'd give such a person that doesn't audition for roles, a role that takes months of intense practice to perfect.

This guy takes music more seriously than movies abeg. Margot Robbie has been cast for Suicide Squad 2 and i don't think James Gunn will reason any plot lines relating to Joker...the only Joker future story will either be JP or Joker in RP's Batman..Jared Leto was actually flawless in Dallas Buyers Club sha and deservedly got an oscar.

He was like a side character, those guys you mentioned like Will Smith and co. were major characters, the movie was focused around them... Joker in that movie was just a crazy love interest of Harley Quinn with short amount of screen time

Yep Robbie, Viola Davis and Jai Courtney are reprising their roles for The Suicide Squad.

I think Some unused Leto's Joker footage from Suicide Squad will be used in Birds of Prey.

WB stupid die jare. I love how those stupid execs that continuously mess DC up got the fucking axe. They just put Joker there as promotion for the film, to draw audiences. Alas, wetin Dem advertise no be wetin we see for finished product.

RP's The Batman will have no Joker. They are saving him for the 2nd or 3rd movie in the trilogy
