While the below Instagram post from @umbertogonzalez doesn't reveal a lot about Jared Leto's take on The Joker, it's still a fascinating glimpse into how the actor is committing to the role in David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Heath Ledger went to similar measures for The Dark Knight, living in a hotel room and keeping a diary of what he thought someone as twisted as the Clown Prince of Crime would think about and find funny (AIDS and landmines for example). Of course, there are those who blame Ledger's death on how far into The Joker's mind he went, so hopefully Leto doesn't embrace the role too much. Regardless, where do you think his take on the villain will rank?
