Suicide Squad: 10 Theories About Jared Leto’s Joker
3. Hell Torture Harley Quinn In A Flashback
Who exactly is he hurting really really bad? is one of the big questions relating to Jared Letos version of the Joker. FlickeringMyth.com has put the most detailed answer together thus far, analysing the trailer in forensic detail to come up with a convincing theory that Joker is actually torturing Margot Robbies character. In the comics, before she became the Jokers obsessive girlfriend Harley Quinn, this character was actually an Arkham Asylum psychiatrist by the name of Harleen Quinzel. The FlickeringMyth theory suggests that well see the Joker torturing Quinzel during the film, triggering her transformation from sane functioning member of society to deranged lackey to the Joker. There is evidence from official sources to suggest that well get to see this transformation (a legit set picture with Quinzel in a lab coat and Joker in a straightjacket, which strong implies well see Harleys origin), so this theory seems very plausible indeed. Showing Letos Joker torturing Harley would be one way to set him up as a truly psychotic menace, with as much if not more - brutality up his sleeve than the versions weve seen on screen before. Some may never forgive him for harming Margot Robbie.
