Could Jared Leto's JOKER Still Be Good After SUICIDE SQUAD?

After Jared Leto's performance as The Joker in DC's latest film "Suicide Squad", can Jared Leto turn his Joker around and make it a better Joker?

DC's Suicide Squad has been out for quite some time now, but time and time again, it seems people still bring up that Jared Leto's Joker is the worst Joker we've seen yet. However, with these changes, I feel that Jared Leto's Joker could actually be a scary and intimidating Joker that we would all love to see.

(Source: YouTube Channel "Bobby Burns") The first time we saw Joker in the Suicide Squad trailer and heard him say "I'm not gonna kill you. I'm just gonna hurt you, really, really, bad", everybody started to get incredibly excited (including myself) about how menacing Leto's Joker would be. However, in the theatrical release of the film, the scene from the trailer was edited to have various colors mixed with the scene, as well as a blurry and shaky camera.

I also think that they should completely change the way Jared Leto's Joker looks in the DCEU. Something about it doesn't seem Joker-like at all to me. Possibly my favorite Joker design in any form of entertainment, was the design from Batman: Arkham Asylum. The Joker looked menacing with that big red smile across his face, the poofed green hair, and the purple suit. In Suicide Squad, Leto's Joker had short hair, shirtless and covered in tattoos, and was barely in the movie. 

I'm hoping that in the future DCEU movies that'll have Jared's Joker in the film, that something is changed to make him a better Joker. I feel as if the Joker we saw in Suicide Squad was barely anything. He wasn't in the movie for long, and I think that maybe if he was shown more, I might've liked his performance. I still have hope for Jared Leto's Joker.
