Another Look At Joker In ‘Suicide Squad’?!
This past weekend the internet collectively vomited when they saw the first shot of Jared Leto as Joker in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad.
Being a huge fan of Leto, even I was nauseated as the first image, which looked like The Joker was a member of Avenged Sevenfold (with the silver grill and lame tattoos). To really get the point across, this video perfectly encapsulates the issue.
Anyways, an alleged new look at popped up online, and although it isn’t confirmed, it’s a lot better (it could be a fan film for all we know). I think it’s important to note that we all screamed in rage when Christopher Nolan cast Heath Ledger as Joker in The Dark Knight. Now, he’s a comic-to-screen legend…an all-time great. Maybe Ayer and his team have something cool in mind that will show up on screen – but even as I try and convince myself to ignore what we have seen with our own eyes, this video makes it impossible for me to move on…
In The Dirty Dozen of superhero movies, we will see Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman), and Echantress (Cara Delevingne). Other DC villains rumored to appear is Deathstroke, King Shark, Killer Croc, and Plastique.
Suicide Squad is filming for release on August 5th, 2016.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
