movies/tv Thoughts on Jared Leto as the upcoming Joker?

[Misty Rose 3,216]

So now that Jared got his hair cut to start filming for Suicide Squad soon (which by the way makes him look super hot again ) we now can begin the hype! This was what I was waiting for as the moment when things would finally start moving along and it's finally here Filming will hopefully start within a month from what I've seen.

 

So peeps, looking forward to Suicide Squad? You think Jared Leto is a good fit for the Clown Prince of Crime? I personally haven't watched many of his movies so I wouldn't know for certain but maybe some of you do

 

Oh btw, have some new haircut Leto hotness

He has potential, I'll give him that. He'll NEVER live up to Heath Ledger's Joker, though.

Never say never my friend He may bring a new and awesome twist, we just have to wait and see

[Rebel the Wolfgirl 5,605]

Yep. Until then, we still have Heath Ledger.

It will take alot to come close to Heath Ledgers Joker, or even Jack Nicholsons Joker from the 1989 movie.

 

I think alot of people will judge the movie by this performance.

Well yes there's this to judge, but there's also the fact that we're finally getting live action Harley Quinn so there's something else we can look out for

Well, he's been acting a lot lately. He's won an Oscar and a Golden Globe not too long ago. Speaking of him, I guess you're a huge fan of the band 30 Seconds to Mars.

Last year to be exact, so we'll just have to see if his acting talent can bring his "beautiful disaster and almost Shakespearean" vision of the Joker to life And actually I think I've only heard one song, I'll have to check out more

I don't really have an opinion either way. Most people were hesitate of Heath Ledger being the Joker but he turned out to be the best Joker into the entire franchise (and had won awards for it), so I'll just hope he turns out good. He has a good face for it.

If he wants a chance people need to drop comparisons to Ledger. We need to look at this Joker for what he is, and whether or not his interpretation stands on it's own. It is really unfair to decide "He can't be as good." Before we even know what they are going for. I'm hoping he's funnier. I wanna laugh and be scared this time... Not be constantly on the verge of soiling myself like Heath.

Yeah I'm really hoping that if not here then eventually we can get a Joker like in the animated series again. He was funny most of the time but sure knew when to be creepy too

I kinda like 30 Seconds to Mars, kinda like him, he was great in Dallas Buyer's Club. I'm sure he'll do fine.

[Misty Rose 3,216]

I honestly feel pretty sorry for him because he has big shoes to fill I'm personally willing to set Heath Ledger's performance aside and just enjoy the new Joker for what he may bring to the table. Unfortunately lots of people will go in and judge him based on Heath's take and it's really not fair. But hey, let's just hope he knocks it out of the park so it won't be too much of a problem

I think he might do a fantastic job.  Was Heath Ledger really that great?  I honestly can't remember, which makes me think eh.

For those of you who have officially seen what he looks like, what are your thoughts?
