ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE Director Shares A New Look At Jared Leto As The Joker

There's been a lot of Joker talk recently, and Zack Snyder has now taken to social media to share a new look at Jared Leto's take on the Clown Prince of Crime from his director's cut of Justice League.

There's been a lot of Joker discussion online over the past few weeks after rumors that Eternals actor Barry Keoghan has been cast as the iconic villain in Matt Reeves' The Batman picked up steam, and Zack Snyder appears to have used the opportunity to share a new look at Jared Leto as The Clown Prince of Crime on Vero.

The House of Gucci star played the deranged baddie in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, before reprising the role for a brief, but memorable appearance in the epilogue of Zack Snyder's Justice League. It remains to be seen if we'll ever see Leto as The Joker again, but with Warner Bros. seemingly moving away from the "Snyderverse" era of The DCEU, it's probably not very likely.

Speaking of Mr. J, there's been some speculation that the character was teased in last night's international trailer for The Batman. In one shot, photos of Bruce Wayne and his family with their eyes whitened-out can be seen in The Riddler's hideout, and some are convinced that the grinning figure lurking in the background is supposed to be The Joker.

We think it's a bit of a stretch, but take a look at the image below (via Deadline) and let us know if you can make anything out.

@Menks123 - lol yall love it. It's so funny. You all have such a good time clowning on this movie, you literally flock here to make sure your opinions are heard. It's hilarious to see how many of you actively participate each time. Like a dog called to its meal.

The more I look at it, the less I like it. Leto could have been a great Joker, but he was neither help by the scripts or the visuals.

This design was way better than in Suicide Squad but Leto was still terrible and that end scene was such overkill. Movie should have ended 30 minutes earlier when Superman flew off. Really pushed it and overstayed its welcome

He looks like someone took one of those Easter Island heads, put a wig and clown makeup on it.

It looks like a Hot Toy, but then they don't usually do realistic hair like that? Definitely doesn't look fully real. But neither does Jared Leto.

Okay, I'm gonna be THAT guy.

I'm starting to think maybe after the whole Discovery/WB/HBOMax thing happens we may indeed get to see ZS vision completed.

The reason I say that is why else would ZS continually drop tip moistening tidbits like this? I refuse to believe he has nothing else better to do than to troll the internet. He's got that whole "Army of the (fill in the blank)" franchise happening over on Netflix. And that's just one thing I can remember off the top of my head. He's got stuff going on.

The last time this happened where he kept on releasing stuff he got his movie off the gorond finally. And it was good. I'm just saying that maybe it'll happen again. He'll keep releasing stuff, seeing what the public reaction to it is, and see if that translates into a new movie(s). Just sayin'...

@Fogs - I don't get why they're doing this dumb shit, just let Reeves take control of all the Batman stuff, we don't need 2 actors playing James Gordon on different HBO Max projects

His eyes look painted AND his nose has no deep holes. They go up a little; that's it.

This is NOT a real head; that's not a real nose. I could not find this on Hot Toys site.

It would be nice if we had some context as to Snyder's posting of this. What did he say about it? Anything?

the joker stuff was the weakest part of the movie. that shit would never end

@grif -
It was at least an improvement over Suicide Squad. Snyder was going for a creepy weird David Lynch-ish take on the character and I don't even know what David Ayer was doing.

His joker was the absolute weakest. And a waste for the acting and sad being that Leto is a great actor. I guess part of the blame falls on Ayer too.
