'Suicide Squad' News: Jared Leto's Joker to Be Inspired by Frank Miller's Interpretation

Jared Leto's Joker portrayal in next year's 'Suicide Squad' is a huge topic right now amongst fans, and although we've got fairly vague comments and ideas on how David Ayer plans to adapt the character, we still don't know exactly what kind of "Joker" their going for.

Throughout the DC world the villain has been variously depicted so its almost impossible to pinpoint it to one portrayal.

Thanks to Latino Review's El Mayimbe, we've finally discovered that Leto's Joker will be inspired by Frank Miller's 'Dark Knight Returns' series.

Here's what he posted as caption in his Instagram post:

"So what I'm being told, Leto's Joker is most definitely based on THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS version. He's lean & scarred but his suit does have broad shoulders. Joker works out in his cell like an inmate when he is interrogated by Amanda Waller. He's doing hand stand push ups so it makes sense that Jared Leto said he is putting on weight. He's definitely not skinny, but in fact more muscular. He has bleached skin not make up. "

"#SPOILER - He's killed one of Batman's sidekicks, there is a lot of references to his past crimes. He kills a lot of people."

"HUGE #RUMOR - I'm also told The Joker has a lot of scenes with HUGO STRANGE! He's the psychiatrist at the prison & seems to be a part of the story yet I heard nothing of casting or mention of a single casting choice. Hugo Strange has quite a few interactions with the Joker & Harley Quinn. It's not the regular security. It's internal one on one thing."

Its important to note that the character will is only reportedly inspired by the series. It's been stated before that Leto's Joker will be an original take all his own.
