Jared Leto Wants To Do A Unique Take On The Joker
When it comes to The Joker, there have been a lot of great portrayals of the Dark Knight’s greatest adversary over the years on both the big and small screen. But rather than try and mimic some legendary performance, Jared Leto wants to put his own unique stamp on The Joker for the upcoming Suicide Squad film.

Hollywood Life cites an anonymous insider claiming:
"Jared wants to make sure his Joker is not only something the fans will love, but he doesn’t want to step on the toes of Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger.He wants to make the character completely his own. He knows that this role may be his most difficult ever, but he is confident that he will make his version of the Joker the best. This Joker will be more cerebral and comedic than what we have seen before, nobody should expect a copycat version. It’s going to be awesome"
Good for Jared Leto. Trying to copy someone else’s performance in the role would just be a horrible letdown. It’s also really good o know that Jared Leto is taking this very seriously an realizes what an important role it is, as some actors still don’t take comic book movies too seriously. Be sure to check out Jared Leto’s own stamp on The Joker when Suicide Squad opens in theaters August 5th, 2016!
