Get hyped, Batman fans, and while we're at it, all you tens of 60 Seconds to Mars fans should get hyped, too. Jared Leto is getting ready to play a joke on the DC Universe.
In his latest instagram post, he wants you to know he's taking this seriously. The Killing Joke by Alan Moore is a classic Batman-book that gives us a look into the criminal master-mind's origins.
Suicide Squad can't come soon enough.
And here I thought Jared Leto trying to go 'method' for Joker by sending in used and abused condoms and anal beads, was as bad 'n sick 'n twisted as it'd ever get; but nah, turns out actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje had something up his sleeve. Akinnuoye-Agbaje says, “I did a lot of research on cannibalistic habits from back to the Mayans and the Aztecs, right up to modern-day cannibals.”
He says he'd also watch a video of a Japanese cannibal, Issei Sagawa, who killed and ate a Dutch woman. He kept it on his phone so he could play it every day...uh. Can't even, right now. Can't even.
“As sick as it sounds, the moment I start to play that video, I’m in the form of Croc, because it’s really important for this creature to be thirsty for flesh, even when he’s around The Squad.”
Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5th. Check out the trailer below:
We've all been waiting in eager anticipation for Suicide Squad to drop (comes out this Friday); and now that the reviews are finally rolling in...let's just say it ain't pretty--we're talking like mid-30%-not-pretty on Rotten Tomatoes.
And when you consider the more recent backlash over the Batman v Superman fiasco, the DC fans of the world are pretty dang irritated -- claiming these 'critics' are mere Marvel fanboys paid off by Marvel.
Some of the more inspired DC fans have officially declared war on Rotten Tomatoes with a Change.org petition to remove the site from the internet altogether. See some of their reasoning below:
Jared Leto keeps churning out the ridiculousness. Recently Leto was reported as being so unhappy with Suicide Squad that he hasn't bothered to see the movie yet. Even more recently, Leto went full on rage mode at Camp Mars to further vent his frustration. While no video of the instance has surfaced yet, someone in attendance provided the following summary of what Leto said:
"He was very honest about the film this weekend; his disappointment in what he’s learned of the theatrical cut (he’s still not seen the film); feeling sort of tricked into being a part of something that had been pitched to him very differently; thinking it would’ve been more artistic than what it became; feeling overwhelmed by the hate regarding the look and choices."
And here's what Leto had to say about the studio trying to shut him down on one of his favorite activities, rock climbing:
All this week Suicide Squad has been filming all over Toronto with actress Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn) and a couple of stuntmen filming an epic car chase with The Joker in a Lamborghini and Batman's signature ride tearing up the streets of Canada.
Check out some fan videos and stills from the action below, but beware: here there by Spoilers!
