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?'"


Suicide Squad is set to be released on August 5th.  David Ayer wrote and directed the DCEU feature. The talented cast assembled includes Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Viola Davis, Scott Eastwood and Ben Affleck.

Leto does this at a restaurant and no one bats an eye. I do this at my cousin's ballet recital, and everyone loses their minds.

Also I'm sad I wasn't in Toronto when filming was going down. I live about a 40 minute drive outside the city....all my friends were posting curbside videos of the Batmobile chase.

@MattBellissimo - Will Smith stayed at the hotel a friend of mine works at. She likes to think they are now best friends.

I got a ton of SnapChats of a plane crashed in the middle of the street downtown. My friends aren't comic book people, so they were like "what the [frick] is this?"

@Mick808 - Fingers crossed! Leto looks great in the part, but he as a person remains an enormous douchebag.
