10 Things You Need To Know About Jared Leto's Joker

What does The Joker look like and whose blood is on his hands?

Until the cast was announced late last year and got pretty much everyone excited, David Ayer's Suicide Squad stuck out like a sore thumb on Warner Bros.' slate of DC Comics adaptations. After all, why would they adapt that fairly obscure property alongside the likes of Justice League, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman? It just didn't make a whole lot of sense! As mentioned though, things soon changed when fans learned of the A-List cast being put together which includes the likes of Margot Robbie and Will Smith as beloved characters like Harley Quinn and Deadshot. However, by far the biggest surprise was The Joker's inclusion. The villain had been left well alone following the late Heath Ledger's Oscar winning take on the villain back in 2008, and while most expected him to be reintroduced in a future Batman movie, Dallas Buyers Club star Jared Leto (who himself won an Academy Award for that movie) being cast as the iconic bad guy in Suicide Squad definitely came as a surprise. Since then, a lot of new details about what Leto's tale on The Joker will involve have surfaced. Some are only rumours, while others are more definite, but you'll find all the latest details on the character right here. Whether it's his role in the Suicide Squad, his appearance, or disturbing connection to Batman, be warned: major spoilers ahead.
