Well....that's different. But time should tell everyone that first reactions to a character's costume have little to no bearing on the performance. For example, many people derided Bryan Singer and co. for Evan Peter's Quicksilver costume in X-Men: Days of Future Past and the character stole every scene he was in. If we go back even further, the public outcry was far greater for Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger's take on the Joker in The Dark Knight.
So lets not rush to judgement too quickly. When it's all said and done the character may look completely different on screen. Prison Joker may be shirtless and tattoed but escapee Joker may be wearing the iconic purple suit, which would cover up nearly all of that iconography.
Here are the top reactions to the first look at Suicide Squad's Jared Leto as the Joker.
If you have your own strong opinion (and I'm sure you do), feel free to comment below and keep the conversation going. Suicide Squad opens in theaters on August 5, 2016.
