Jared Leto As "The Joker", Fans Undecided

Share This Post

David Ayer, the writer and director of the new DC Comics film “Suicide Squad” tweeted out the new look of the Joker played by Jared Leto. It immediately reminded fans on Twitter of someone else. They just couldn’t decide if that someone else was Marilyn Manson or James Franco. Who knew so many people had seen “Spring Breakers”!?

Oh good: we have a version of The Joker that Marilyn Manson would laugh out loud at.

I hope Leto's Joker backstory is just flashbacks to SPRING BREAKERS

Is the suicide squad Joker…..just…James Franco in Spring Breakers who is dressed up as the Joker on Halloween?

I am assuming Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad is James Franco's Alien in Spring Breakers.

Awesome Marilyn Manson costume! That'll kill at Halloween this year. Nice work. Right, now where's the #Joker?
…
Oh. #SuicideSquad

@Uptomyknees "While drawing inspiration for this iteration of the Joker we did a lot of coke and watched Spring Breakers on repeat."

Then there was a third opinion.
