UPDATE: March 18th, 2015

Jared Leto just Snapchatted a video of himself being very Joker-y with a Batman score playing in the background.

He also posted a close up of those eyebrows. I think he is digging his new look.

This could be Jared Leto giving us a sneak peek at his “Joker Voice”

Or it could just be Jared Leto being a good showman… or both!

UPDATE 4/14/2016:

The latest trailer for Suicide Squad has reignited my excitement for Jared Leto's Joker for reasons I would have never guessed. It is this shot right here that I am loving on, HARD.

“But why,” you ask? 

Because for some reason my subconscious sees that image and turns it into a perfect mashup of the Joker and Two-Face from Batman: The Animated Series (one of the greatest television shows of all time.)

What is that you ask now? “May we see an embarrassingly bad photoshop job of what your subconscious sees?” Why of course you can, my pretties. I am never one to deprive myself of embarrassment. and Here. We. GO.
