Ever since that first look at Jared Leto's Joker, people have judged Leto's rendition of the Clown Prince Of Crime. It's either about the tattoos, the appearance of the character and much more. But i am confident that Leto will pull it off and deliver an amazing performance, for sure. Meanwhile, the producers of the film talked about his performance and how the tattos are part of the design of the character. "Jared has been doing some amazing, transformative work in this movie. I think his look is very different," said Suicide Squad producer Andy Horwitz during a set visit Comicbook.com attended last summer. "I think we had to obviously do something different than people have seen before. I think now that you guys have gotten to see the trailer, you got a little slice of what he is in the movie and how he acts. It's a look that took a lot of time to zero in and dial in and [Director] David [Ayer] and Jared and the studio and Rich and all of us kind of worked on it for awhile."
Producer Richard Suckle had this to say ""The tattoos were a big part of the design of this character and what you'll see over there, which maybe you glanced at, is a board that has a number of different designs and ideas and things that aren't just exclusive for the Joker but to other characters," added producer Richard Suckle. "David found a really fantastically talented local tattoo artist, a guy by the name of Rob Coutts, who designed all those things and everything that you see that's on Jared. There's a lot of things that didn't make it into the movie, but he was a real great addition and a real blessing for us to find. As I'm sure you guys already know, tattoos play a role in a number of the characters, not just exclusive to Joker."
