This is far as you can get from Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Jared Leto stars as everyone’s favourite jocular psychopath in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, named after the anti-heroes from the world of DC Comics.

Director Ayer shared this image of a tattoo’d, manic Joker as played by Oscar winning actor Leto, and it’s safe to say it’s quite a departure from any previous incarnation.
