Suicide Squad director David Ayer has defended the look of Jared Leto’s Joker by sharing a post that compares the actor’s version to that of the comic.
Before Suicide Squad was even released, Jared Leto’s Joker was put under fire for his look. Later on, the actor’s performance in the film was panned by fans and critics. Director David Ayer, however, has constantly defended the film’s star, citing that the majority of his performance was cut out of the film. Now the director has taken this defense a step further and is now defending the look of the character.
In a recent post, David Ayer shared an image that showed a side-by-side comparison of Jared Leto’s Joker and that of the character from the comics and expressed how baffled he was that people would call the look inaccurate to the books:
Amazing. Tracks exactly with how I built the looks – “Not comic book accurate” ??? I cant. ?♂️ https://t.co/6WAGSXpTzT
