The latest unlikely development in the saga of Zack Snyder’s Justice League is that, against all the odds, Jared Leto is returning as the Joker. Though his performance in 2016’s Suicide Squad was widely panned at the time, Leto’s turn as the Clown Prince of Crime has been as re-evaluated in the past four years as Snyder’s directorial efforts and now he’s taking part in the reshoots for the HBO re-release of the team-up movie that are underway right now.
There’s a lot of hype about the Joker’s appearance in the film, then, and now BossLogic has got us even more excited with this epic piece of fan art which teases Leto’s return to the iconic role. The moody piece with a dark green palette features the Joker turning towards the camera. With a bloody knife in his hand, he’s drawn a wide red smile, reminiscent of Heath Leader’s scars, across his cheek.
BL’s artwork is excellent and gives you the feeling of Leto’s villain being let loose to cause more havoc. Well, the ins and outs of the villain’s role in the storyline have yet to be revealed, but We Got This Covered has certainly heard some intriguing things about it. If our intel is right, fans who want to see the Joker unleash some carnage won’t be disappointed. According to what we’re hearing – potential spoilers incoming – the Joker will appear in the present-day in Arkham but also in a flashback scene depicting his murder of Robin, something hinted at back in Batman v Superman.
All six of the League are back in their super-suits to film additional material for the director’s cut. When it comes to villains, Joe Manganiello is also involved in reshoots, reprising his turn as Deathstroke, while Jesse Eisenberg is also looking very likely to come back as Lex Luthor. We didn’t expect to see either of those guys again in the DCEU, much like Leto’s Joker, so it really seems like anything is possible when it comes to this production. Could they even get Ryan Reynolds on board as Green Lantern? Maybe.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is scheduled to release September 5th, 2021 on HBO Max.
