15 Upcoming Comic Book Movie Villains We Can’t Wait To See

The Movie: Harley Quinn And The Joker? Suicide Squad 2? The Batman?

Played By: Jared Leto

Though Warner Bros now have a new head honcho and some of the planned DCEU movies might not actually make it to screens, there are currently so many being talked about that it seems unlikely that we won't get to see at least a few of them alongside the dead certs of Wonder Woman 2 and Suicide Squad 2.

That means that we SHOULD get to see more of Jared Leto's Joker, who was badly misused in Suicide Squad and who could still be a good character if Leto was teamed with a director willing to rein him in somewhat. What that character needed in his debut was focus (and a better story), and you get a sense that he's not quite done with the DCEU just yet.

Whether you think that's a good idea is another matter, but there's definitely something compelling about the idea of Leto being given another chance to show what he can do.
