STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Actor Mark Hamill Weighs In On Jared Leto's Take On The Joker

Mark Hamill is considered the definitive Joker by many fans after voicing the Clown Prince of Crime for decades but what does he make of Jared Leto's divisive take on the iconic DC Comics villain?

Jared Leto's take on The Joker was met with a mixed response after he played the Clown Prince of Crime in last year's Suicide Squad and that mostly revolved around his appearance. Performance wise, what the Oscar-winning actor delivered was definitely interesting but it may still surprise you to learn that Mark Hamill - who is widely considered the best Joker - has nothing but respect for Leto's version.


Hamill has voiced The Joker in everything from Batman: The Animated Series to the Arkham video games and last year's The Killing Joke adaptation. Leto, meanwhile, is set to reprise the role in that Harley Quinn/Joker movie and Suicide Squad 2 but he won't appear in that standalone origin story.

Do you agree that Leto did the right thing by making the part his own or should he have stuck a little closer to the source material? We'll have to wait and see if he'll change his portrayal after all that backlash but be sure to let us know your thoughts on this news in the comments section down below.
