Before Suicide Squad was released, a Hot Toys action figure surfaced showing Jared Leto's Joker rocking a modified Batsuit. Other pieces of merchandise also featured the Clown Prince of Crime as this deranged Dark Knight and when he didn't appear in the movie, many fans assumed that, like most of the villain's scenes, this sequence had ended up the cutting room floor. So, what exactly happened?
Well, director David Ayer has now taken to social media to confirm that this Joker-ised Batsuit was never going to appear in Suicide Squad and that a costume like this was never really created for Leto.
This makes sense thinking about it as it's hard to say where a costume like this could have fit into proceedings (it would, however, have been awesome to see The Joker battling Task Force X while dressed up as Batman). The villain's entire confrontation with the team was removed as a result of reshoots, though, so that was never going to happen! What do you guys think? Sound off below.
