Playing the Joker is easy money and Leto managed to be the only one to fukk it up

@Ethnic Vagina Finder makes terrible threads 
Felt more like a bad 90s Jim Carrey impression to me.

More often than not I tend to take that L.
Thread is kindabecause if playing Joker was easy then nobody would've blinked when Health Ledger's name was announced. As it stands, most people immediately said there was no way in hell he could pull it off.
As far as actors, you can only be so creative within the constraints of the script and director's vision. Leto's Joker was David Ayer's vision. I don't understand why people shyt on Leto when he was jjust following the direction of Ayer.
Now, did the studio step in and fukk the movie up? Most definitely. But when it comes to that version of The Joker, Ayer filmed damn near an entire movie worth of scenes with him. So Leto's Joker being wack can't be blamed on the studio, either. All they did was fukk the editing up.
If I had to nail it down to one thing, as to why Leto's Joker was wack....there was nothing Joker about him. It was just some crazy tatted up crime boss. He kinda reminded me of Gary Oldman's character from "True Romance".

nah, Leto had creative control. It was his idea for the tatts, grill and slick back hair lol.
now the scenes and editing were all ayers.
"He must've thought it was white boy day!"
I'm dying imagining him saying that to Batman.

Easily the most comic accurate looking actor
However, they tried to make him everything while giving him nothing to work with. Also he was only on screen for 7 mins.

Low key if thats the route they were going....Should have went all in. However, he really should have made him the villain I know he admitted that. However, I dont know how that pitch went to WB...and they agreed to make him a side character.I'm dying imagining him saying that to Batman.

Even Assault on Arkham eventually makes him the villain. Probably would have been better off making a live action version of that.

His whole vibe seems better here than in the movie. Shame a music video director got it over Ayer.

I liked Leto's Joker... its always good to have a fresh take on the character.
the dumbass suits at Wb cut all his scenes and ayer overplayed his hand by doing the whole alien angle. shouldve been hella grounded
