Fuck. His performance is so cringe worthy. I'd rather see more lolLex than Leto as Joker ever again.

Leto Joker was fine. He was actually good. He was a good Joker. You just can't get over his dumb exterior.

Chill bruh. His performance was terrific, just because it's a portrayal of the joker you aren't used to, doesn't mean it's%u200B automatically trash.

No. Lex Joker was at least in the "so bad it's entertaining" category. There's absolutely nothing redeeming about the Joker in SS.

Honestly is what quite a bad play, joker looking clean, with some stupid grill, stupid tattoos. That and he wasn't very intimidating. He doesn't look like a "joker" nor does he really act like one. People can say all they want about how it's a new take on the joker, but just like Man of Steel it doesn't do a good job of being that close to the source material.

But he really was. Harley, deadshot, diablo, flag and Cpt. Boomerange were better but he was far better than Literally everyone from BvS except Gal Gadot.

At least he took his own spin and made the unhinged aspect believable and entertaining.

BvS had no redeeming qualities aside from GG/WW.

Sure if you ignore the chase scene and the club scene.

The only major diversion was the cat scene with him and Harley.

But then you read something like Azzrello's joker and to me Leto is just trying to be a more pre-teen version of that, or the dark knight joker, who even then Leto is trying to be a more pre-teen version of that.

Ledger might've not been the best, but he was still a pretty good portrayal of the Joker, he was dirty, grimy, looked like a clown which preys off the fear of clowns. The insanity might've been a little forced, but at least he could play it off and still be an intelligent individual who looks like he came right out of a gutter and prove that he can make Gotham burn.

Jumping straight to BvS without building up the universe enough is a perfect encapsulation of why the DCEU is crap. It's a perfect storm of wanting to compete with Marvel, not understanding basic storytelling principles, having decisions made by the marketing execs rather than the creative talent, and being a rushed, incoherent mess.

BvS is where the DCEU died.

It's pretty mind blowing how there's a live action Joker with a Harley Quinn origin and he has absolutely no awesome moments or even a quotable line. It's The Joker!

And this is the guy who'll get a direct sequel. Ugh.

Leto and Eisenberg were both terrible fucking choices. Both of their portrayals are so far off from what the characters are that they should just kill off both of them and be like "loljk this is the real Joker/Luthor". From here on out their characters are completely ruined for the series. There's no saving them unless they completely change their character, again lol

lol remember how everyone who criticized the casting choices was met with "BUT HEATH LEDGER!!!!!!!!!!"

Like Heath Ledger being surprisingly amazing meant that an apparently shitty casting choice isn't just a shitty casting choice most of the time.
