Jared Leto’s heavily tattooed Joker from Suicide Squad gets a makeover that makes him look like the classic Clown Prince of Crime in a new piece of fan art.
Jared Leto’s future as The Joker is uncertain after his appearance in Suicide Squad. Filming for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad will begin soon, but it doesn’t look like Jared Leto will return as the Joker. There is still a chance that Jared Leto could be making an appearance in Birds of Prey, after set photos surfaced, which revealed a look-alike seemingly kicking Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn out. At one point, there was a Joker standalone film centered on Jared Leto’s version along with a Harley Quin film in development. But, those projects might not be seeing the light of day now.
Jared Leto’s Joker was controversial, for his portrayal and his performance in Suicide Squad. The actor sported tattoos all over his body along with grills. Digital artist William Gray recently removed both of those features and added green eyebrows, giving us a terrifying new look for Jared Leto’s Joker. You can check out the fan art below:

While Jared Leto’s future as the Joker is uncertain, Joaquin Pheonix is the latest actor to bring the character to life in a standalone film separate from the DCEU.
Here is the official synopsis for Joaquin Pheonix’s Joker:
Director Todd Phillips “Joker” centers around the iconic arch nemesis and is an original, standalone fictional story not seen before on the big screen. Phillips’ exploration of Arthur Fleck, who is indelibly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, is of a man struggling to find his way in Gotham’s fracturedsociety. A clown-for-hire by day, he aspires to be a stand-up comic at night…but finds the joke always seems to be on him. Caught in a cyclical existence between apathy and cruelty, Arthur makes one bad decision that brings about a chain reaction of escalating events in this gritty character study.
Directed by Todd Phillips from a script he co-wrote with Scott Silver, Joker stars Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Douglas Hodge, Marc Maron, Josh Pais, and Shea Whigham.
Joker will be released in theaters on October 4, 2019.
