I think you will agree, this is a very different look to what we have ever seen. Comparing to Heath Ledger’s Joker, it’s a complete overhaul. Tattoos on the Joker did you say? This is the first character we have seen from the film, so we look forward to seeing the others now.

Suicide Squad is set to star Jared Leto, Will Smith, Joel Kinnaman, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, and Cara Delevingne. Tom Hardy was originally set to join the A-list cast, but was replaced by Die Hard and Terminator Genisys star, Jai Courtney.
