Just to have him on one of my film sets, it was a very memorable thing for me.
The filmmaker further praised Leto, whosemethod approach to the characterhas been widely reported.

There was almost a pageantry to him, which did translate into the power on screen he has.
The Oscar winner followsHeath Ledger, who played the Joker in Christopher NolansThe Dark Knight.
As seen in thetrailersandimagesforSuicide Squad, Letos interpretation is drastically different.
If they survive, their slates are wiped clean.
