SUICIDE SQUAD Director David Ayer Shares Joker Script Page From Alternate Final Battle

It's well-known that Suicide Squad once featured a very different final battle, and director David Ayer has shared a script page depicting the Joker's role in that as #ReleaseTheAyerCut trends on Twitter!

If you've checked Twitter today, chances are you will have seen #ReleaseTheAyerCut trending. Whether Warner Bros. (and more specifically HBO Max) will take note of that remains to be seen, but the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign certainly ended up paying off for Justice League fans. 

Suicide Squad was clearly supposed to be a very different movie to the one that ended up in theaters back in 2016, and rumors have persisted for some time about an alternate final battle involving Jared Leto's Joker. Lots of teases have been shared about that in recent months, and a handful of images have even been shared online showing the burned up Clown Prince of Crime. 

The latest comes in the form of a script page share by director David Ayer himself which details Joker threatening to detonate the bombs in the necks of each member of Task Force X. 

Joker demands that Harley Quinn gives him Katana's sword, the Soultaker, but it seems likely this was the moment she decided to remain loyal to her fellow villains rather than go back to her abusive "Puddin'." Unfortunately, Ayer has yet to share any additional pages from the Ayer Cut's screenplay.

This is bound to get fans talking, however, and will only further encourage the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement!

This is some legitimately awful writing, wow. "Snitches get stitches"? Did an edgy 12 year old write this?

Legit...have no interest in this movie. Zero.

Fury and End of Watch were flukes. He wasn’t a good filmmaker before them but I actually thought he was a great pick after those back to back bangers.

@tmp3 - it’s not odd that the Joker would say that though. I’ve seen him say worse tbh

@regularmovieguy - Making movies is incredibly hard and a long process so I won't ever say that Fury and End of Watch were flukes. It's just the kind of movie Ayer seems better suited for. Suicide Squad simply wasn't.

I think of Suicide Squad as a movie out of it’s time. It belongs in the late 90s. I like it, for all it’s quirks. I would definitely watch a director’s cut on HBO max.

didnt ayer state that there was no director cut and that the theatrical cut was "his" cut, back when the movie first came out? What is this then lmao

@MeAreLegend - I’m his defence, what else was he going to say? “The studio interfered and turned this thing into a steaming pile of dog shit that has destroyed part of my soul after 2 years of work”? Cos that worked so well for Trank...

As if that dialogue isn't garbage enough, reading it with Jared Leto's Joker voice makes it 10X worse.

That would have TOTALLY saved the character.

What we are not going to do is bash Ayer as if he doesn’t make good films. Perfect no, neither is the writing all the time but entertaining at the least yes.

We are also not going to use the tired argument of what he said years ago, as if he was wrong to protect himself (his $$) and the studio. We knew the film that came out wasn’t it. The very first trailer and news about studio interference should have told us that, but you know people read what they want to.

Let that mans cut free. Any true artist can appreciate that

@James93 - are u new to this site? It's literally all they do to films not made by marvel 😂😂

Now SS squad was hot trash but I'd rather see the directors cut so I can judge it properly, same with JL.
