When crafting a live-action Batman film, there's two things you need to get right regarding Gotham's protector and Clown Prince of crime - Batman's scowl and the Joker's laugh. While appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box, Leto revealed his method for refining the Joker's laugh until he felt it was just right. If you were in Toronto last August and her an incredibly creepy laugh while dining at a restaurant, chances are pretty good that was Leto.
"I worked on the laugh like walking around the streets of New York and Toronto," said the Academy-Award winning actor. "
I kinda walked around the streets and see what laugh would kind of get under peoples' skin. If you hear someone laugh loud at a restaurant it's a little jarring. I tried them out and I got to a place where I would laugh and people would turn around like, '
Who is this creepy guy behind me?'"
