David Ayer's Vision for Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad: The Unseen Creative Masterpiece

The Original Vision: Ayer's Formidable Joker

Suicide Squad director David Ayer offered details on how Warner Bros. ruined his creative vision for Jared Leto's Joker in the 2016 DCEU project. Ayer made it clear that he had a different vision for Leto's Joker that would have been formidable.

Ayer's version of Suicide Squad shows Leto's Joker as a strong and fully developed villain throughout the movie. In his cut, the Joker has a story arc that hangs powerfully over the entire film, making him a formidable, intense, and a force of nature.

At the time of Suicide Squad's release, viewers were excited to see Leto's portrayal of the iconic comic book character. However, everything went downhill after the release, and many fans complained about the actor’s take on such a legendary villain.

Critics didn’t like Leto's performance and panned his performance for being too shallow. Ayer has been vocal about how Warner Bros. disintegrated Suicide Squad. Even though Suicide Squad made a lot of money, fans didn't love it as much as they hoped.

The studio believed that the edited version of the movie would be loved by one and all, but that backfired, and the film turned out to be one of DCEU's lowest-rated projects.

The Demand for Ayer's Cut

The DC fandom has demanded a director’s cut and wants to see Ayer's real vision. Many fans want the Ayer cut to happen, just like how they made Zack Snyder's Justice League a reality.

While there's no official news about a director's cut for Suicide Squad, James Gunn, the current leader of DCU, allegedly expressed a desire to release Ayer's version to the public. However, it’s yet to be seen if the director's cut will ever be released, especially since Gunn is starting fresh with several reboot films for DCU.

Ayer has repeatedly said that his cut is a better experience than the original release, with a clearer vision, improved editing, and a more engaging viewing.

Will Ayer's version ever see the light? Well, there’s no answer to that as of now.
