When Clay Enos took over the Entertainment Weekly Instagram feed, he posted the above shot of director David Ayer lying in the same pose as the Joker from the second trailer, surrounded by his arsenal.

The hammer of course calls back to the Death Of The Family version of the Joker. If that means his torture scene of the mysterious bearded victim ends with a brutal explosion of hammer-based violence in reference to that story arc, I will be psyched.
