How will Joker in the Suicide Squad movie be played ? I'm just curious and excited . Heath Ledger style , Jack Nicolson or something completely different ? What do you guys think ?

My guess is he's going to be closer to Hannibal Lecter than anything else. I'm really excited to find out.

Before I start....I am a huge mark for the Joker.....I even wear a Joker lanyard to work......LOVE the character.
Jack Nicholson's Joker is still the benchmark for me to beat in terms of live action. I want a Joker that is drawn from the source material and much more faithful to the comics than the Nolan version.
Now there's no denying that Ledgers performance was great(it was) but it is far from being the be all and end all of Joker performances and I prefer that very grounded(hardly Joker to me at all)version stay within the Nolan movies.....that's why I want Leto to succeed SO BADLY here. So many have written off Leto already.....spouting such nonsense as
"nobody else should be allowed play Joker after Ledger" etc etc.
I am very interested to see where they go here and although the choice of Smith for Deadshot is both disappointing and absolutely mind boggling when Hardy was on board-I am still excited for this movie to see how Leto & Robbie perform.

Hopefully Mark Hammil style. I think Leto is awesome casting, but to be fair, I also thought Ledger was amazing casting. I expect them to be definitively different. It's the only way to go, but I don't expect anything Ledger did to be lost with Leto.

Couldn't agree more with this statement.

I hope he's a lunatic.
The Joker has to be extremely unstable, comedic, and murderous.. He's gotta be the type that could snap at any moment.. I don't want Heath Ledger 2.0 but I don't want a softcore Joker by Leto either.. I don't want a cartoon character. But when I see Leto's portrayal of The Joker I want to leave that movie thinking The Joker is a legitimate threat to Batman.

I have no faith that Warner Brothers will do the character justice.
Leto on the other hand, regardless of the iteration he'll probably be great.

I'm thinking he may go closer to a Arkham games type Joker but could be completely wrong. I'm excited to see. Leto is fantastic.

I like both the Nicholson Joker and the Ledger Joker. I think if you could somehow mix the two performances it would be a really good one. But I am definitely excited to see how it plays out.

Will Smith's casting is absolutely a "WTF?" Choice for me but Leto is MORE than capable of giving us a great Joker.

Mark Hamill was an excellent Joker unlike Kevin Michael Richardson's rendition for The Batman

Smith being cast as Deadshot when Hardy was available is boggling to me.He should have been cast as Bronze Tiger. Why? 1)BT is as associated with Squad as anyone. 2)Smith is tailor made for him. 3)Smith is always harping on about there not being enough black superheroes/wanting to play one......yet he ends up playing the white guy? 4)Smith being BT in conjunction with the character being given a "push" in the comics could be GREAT for DC Ah well!

Probably terribly. Jared Leto was a garbage choice. After Nightcrawler I really thought Jake Gyllenhaal would've been a clear choice. Overall I think casting is way below average for this movie.
I know WB really wants to catch up with Disney in the comic movie game but they're not doing a good job on that. If Justice League Dark actually works out, I'll be happy. I'd love to see Swamp Thing by Guillermo Del Toro.

I have some faith that he will preform well, I don't believe his portrayal of the joker will be greater than Nicholson's Hamill's or Ledgers but I think it will be sufficient. I find it hard to compare Nicholson, Hamill and Ledger when they are playing the joker because they played different styles and interpretations of the joker.

I'd love for this Joker to be like Heath. But just different enough for Leto to have his own style. I definitely don't want a comedy version like Jack's or the cartoon.
The reaction towards Leto's casting seems to be pretty polarized (much like Heath's in the beginning)... But I personally feel he has the potential to deliver an awesome performance.

Jacks Joker struck the perfect balance of psycho and comedy.....that's what the Joker is....he is often genuinely funny. Something Nolan either didn't know or chose to ignore completely. Id say its a mixture of both considering many of his choices. Ledgers Joker was great because of his performance.....(loved it)but as a huge fan of the character? I didn't feel it was an accurate portrayal; of Joker. Not enough laughing for one......
