Jared Leto has shared a gruesome piece of Zack Snyder'due south Justice League fan fine art, showing his Joker holding Batman's severed head before an evil Superman. The star first played the Clown Prince of Offense in 2016'southward Suicide Squad, though the terminal version of the motion picture ended upwards including significantly less screen fourth dimension for the Joker than was promised in the trailers. Leto returned to the part in Zack Snyder's Justice League, where he filmed a proper confrontation scene with Ben Affleck's Batman, ready in the apocalyptic Knightmare future.

Without a dubiety, Leto'due south Joker is one of the most divisive portrayals of the villain in DC history. Many fans condemned the performance forth with Suicide Squad every bit a whole, while others lamented the last studio edit of the film that severely restricted the character. Joker's return in the Snyder Cut of Justice League was celebrated by many of the fans who pushed for the manager'due south cut release. Still, some remain disappointed that Leto's Joker never really got a chance to show off the villain'south darkest sides in the DCEU.

In a new piece of fan fine art by Instagram-based creative person Hasan Kazi (ihasankazi.psd), Leto's Joker is depicted in his Snyder Cut Knightmare outfit, brandishing Batman's severed mask as Superman, Deathstroke, Cyborg, Flash and others all stare. Conspicuously, the piece appealed to Leto, who shared the art to his own Instagram story uncaptioned. It's fun to see a talented artist similar Kazi getting recognized past the discipline of his piece of work, and equally fun to run into Leto still clearly attached to the Joker graphic symbol.

While Leto didn't get to do much in Zack Snyder'south Justice League, he would accept had a much larger function in the cancelled sequel set primarily within the Knightmare future. Unfortunately, due to DC and Warner Bros. opting to go in a dissimilar direction with the DCEU than Snyder'south original vision, those plans will probably never accept shape on screen. A comic book continuation of Snyder's planned story seems more probable at this betoken, though even that may be a longshot.

Of class, that doesn't hateful that Leto has put on the Joker makeup for the terminal time. Affleck is coming back to play Bruce Wayne again in The Flash, so while the overall Justice League sequel plan has been cancelled, private characters from that part of the DCEU tin certainly still pop up in the future. Maybe he'll characteristic in the third Suicide Squad moving picture. Or mayhap he and Batfleck will 1 solar day get a adventure to go along their Justice League stare-down.
