Playing the Joker is easy money and Leto managed to be the only one to fukk it up

The Joker is basically a symbol. Actors have free reign to be creative.

Jack brought the character into the mainstream.

Ledger and Phoenix won Oscars.


Leto basically went full retard.

Nicholson, Ledger, Phoenix and Hamil are just better actors. Well their script allowed them to fully showcase their abilities. Leto was trying to be Nicholson, Ledger, Hamil and Lil Wayne. That's alot to take on

I think his take on joker would've been good if they had given him his own movie.

 

[Devilinurear]

I liked it.

Although if they made him Jason Todd it would made more sense for the character.

Thread is kinda because if playing Joker was easy then nobody would've blinked when Health Ledger's name was announced. As it stands, most people immediately said there was no way in hell he could pull it off.

As far as actors, you can only be so creative within the constraints of the script and director's vision. Leto's Joker was David Ayer's vision. I don't understand why people shyt on Leto when he was jjust following the direction of Ayer.

Now, did the studio step in and fukk the movie up? Most definitely. But when it comes to that version of The Joker, Ayer filmed damn near an entire movie worth of scenes with him. So Leto's Joker being wack can't be blamed on the studio, either. All they did was fukk the editing up.

If I had to nail it down to one thing, as to why Leto's Joker was wack....there was nothing Joker about him. It was just some crazy tatted up crime boss. He kinda reminded me of Gary Oldman's character from "True Romance".

A lot of his material was cut out of the movie

I would pay full price at the movies to see that. I also heard Lakeith Stanfield wants a shot at the role

 

[Starboy52]

His Joker flopped because... well, it wasn't Joker. It didn't give off the vibe "Joker" beyond borrowing small bits and pieces from Jack's Joker with him being a crime boss.

Leto had to be completely different than Ledger

But I think the studio got cold feet because DC gets a lot of hate by critics which is dumb because a lot of the critics make horrible movies when given the chance

Leto had like a bunch of things filmed that wasn’t used

Enough to make a Leto Joker movie

The Joker movie that came out was prefaced with some DC elseworlds shyt

does DC Comics have a looney black character similar to Joker??

I can't think of any although there are few characters similar to Joker. Like the Trickster and the Creeper

Ayers was the problem not Leto.

Leto didn't choose get to costume design to look like a crackhead.

Leto doesn't have the clout to assert creative freedom in a film that didn't need him. Which was stupid... Joker should of been a key integral piece, but they rather use the worst fukking villian imaginable. Ayer is a mediocre director that needs to be called out more. Him writing the story in 6 weeks is the biggest red flag. Regardless if the studio force his hand. If you material needs more time. You get more time. You don't just do as you told when it's your reputation as a film maker on the line.

Reeves called WB bluffs with "deadlines" a long time ago.

I thought Leto was more akin to the character of Joker then Joaquín Phoenix was.
It's a shame Ayer buckled to studio pressure and cut out his scenes and made him a non factor.
