Just by the measure of his appearance as The Joker, Jared Leto looks a lot better than the Clown Prince of Crime of the late Heath Ledger. The movie “Suicide Squad” will provide the answer as to whether he acted the part as great as Ledger was in “The Dark Knight.” But thus far, reports coming from the set of “Suicide Squad” are saying that Leto is playing the part so well, he can be considered as the best actor who took on the role of The Joker to date.
A Darth Sidious look-alike
The latest images from the filming of “Suicide Squad” where versatile actor and musician Jared Leto plays the role of The Joker, show him looking very demonic and hideous, even drawing resemblance to the Darth Sidious character in the “Star Wars” franchise.
In addition to the official look of The Joker loaded with ‘Ha ha ha’ tattoos, there have also been footage and photos from the set showing a car chase between him and Batman.
Apparently, Ben Affleck as Batman will appear in the film to chase down The Joker and his sidekick Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, with his Batmobile. It is thus no wonder that much of the scenes of The Joker in “Suicide Squad” will see him behind bars.
Jared Leto has been getting positive reviews for taking his role as The Joker too seriously not only in terms of looks but also his character.
