I love Jared Leto’s Joker In Suicide Squad Says Mark Hamill

 

It’s no secret by now that Jared Leto’s take on The Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was divisive, to say the least. That’s not necessarily the actor’s fault, however, as a lot of his scenes didn’t make it into the final film – something the Extended Cut is looking to fix.  One actor who’s take on the character certainly isn’t divisive though is Mark Hamill, who many consider to be one of, if not, the best Joker that we’ve seen yet.

After all, he’s played the Clown Prince of Crime for longer than anyone else and has delivered an absolutely brilliant take on him throughout the years. As such, it’s no surprise that when Polygon sat down with him for an interview, they asked for his thoughts on Leto’s work in Suicide Squad.

He said “Everyone brings a different spin to the character and you have to look at each script separately, I don’t think there’s a definitive version of the Joker and I don’t think there can be. It’s like Hamlet, really. It’ll be constantly redefined.”

Despite the mixed reception to Suicide Squad, it’s clear that Warner Bros. isn’t done with the property just yet. After all, it scored an impressive take at the box office and rumours keep popping up that point to Leto’s Joker showing up in Ben Affleck’s The Batman.
