Mind-Blowing Suicide Squad Concept Art Reveals Jared Leto's Ultimate Joker Transformation!

Summary

Director David Ayer shares new concept art of Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad, revealing a scene that was cut from the theatrical version.

The concept art displays a Joker devoid of face tattoos and positioned against a captivating backdrop, exuding an aura of grandeur.

The discarded scene proposed Joker's association with Enchantress, potentially portrayed as a figment of her imagination. Ayer's initial vision for Joker possessed a significantly more appealing essence than what eventually materialized on the screen.

Director David Ayer has unveiled fresh concept art showcasing Jared Leto's Joker in the Suicide Squad film. The artwork reveals a visually captivating scene featuring the DC villain. Following the movie's release in 2016, it was revealed that Joker's screen time had been reduced. This was due, in part, to the significant differences between Ayer's original vision and the cinematic version of Suicide Squad. Advocates for the Ayer Cut, as it has come to be known, have fervently campaigned for its release. Although it may not have garnered as much support as the Snyder Cut of Justice League, its supporters remain resolute in their desire to see it come to fruition. Ayer occasionally provides new insights to sustain this hope. In a recent tweet, Ayer shared exciting new Joker concept art accompanied by the caption "Original intent." The artwork showcases the iconic character wearing Leto's striking long purple leather jacket, with a backdrop featuring a large pile of skulls enveloped in purple smoke. Don't miss out on Ayer's tweet and the mesmerizing artwork displayed below.

The design of the Joker in Suicide Squad faced substantial criticism upon its reveal. The inclusion of face tattoos, especially the "Damaged" tattoo on his forehead, led to widespread disapproval. In fact, even Ayer himself has expressed regret over this particular aspect. Nonetheless, the concept art for the Joker portrays him without any face tattoos, while the background exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, enhancing the grandeur of this DC villain.

Joker's Role In Suicide Squad's Scrapped Finale Explained

The original ending of Suicide Squad included a scene where Joker, potentially working with Enchantress, appeared as an ally during the third act. The members of the squad debated whether he was real or simply a creation of Enchantress. Joker capitalized on this uncertainty, although the script does not provide a clear explanation of his authenticity. It is likely that the concept art corresponds to this scene or another one where Enchantress used her abilities to manifest a vision of him. Joker exploited Harley's love for him in an attempt to persuade her to fulfill Enchantress' desires. However, the vision of him may have been designed to appear intimidating and cause hesitation among the other squad members. It remains unknown how this scene would have been integrated into the final version of the movie, as it does not appear in the theatrical cut. Nevertheless, Ayer's caption indicates that his original vision for Joker would have been more impressive than what was ultimately portrayed.

Yesterday, David Ayer disclosed that he had a conversation with James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, regarding the potential release of his rendition of Suicide Squad. Gunn assured Ayer that the opportunity to share his version would arise. The specifics of when and how this will occur are still uncertain. Nevertheless, Ayer's recent unveiling of concept art provides a glimpse into his abandoned intentions for Leto's Joker. It is hoped that these plans will finally come to fruition if and when the Ayer Cut of Suicide Squad is made available.
