A Look At Jared Leto’s Back Tattoos As The Joker
Birth Movies Death have grabbed a leaked photo of Jared Leto’s Joker getting some new back tattoos. The new photo, which looks to be official but not yet released seems to be an alternative angle on the infamous reveal from two weeks ago.
What’s most interesting about this new photo is the addition of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn giving Leto’s Joker a “puddin” tattoo. Perhaps all of these are from his crazy sociopathic lover. What’s immediately laughable is that Harley is his artist. It lends credence to the horrific tattoo design, but I can’t tell for the life of me if this is good or bad.
The internet has been very divided on Suicide Squad as more promotional material continues to trickle out. Despite this, I’m sure most people will show up in massive groups to see the film opening weekend. But will be a huge blockbuster smash or a bust? Suicide Squad opens on August 5th, 2016.
But how good does it feel to see the two of these maniacs together?

The supernatural world of Korean folk horror movie Exhuma grows larger with the arrival of prequel spinoff webtoon Maengjong this weekend, Variety reports today.
Naver Webtoon debuts Maengjong on May 30.
The series hails from Haemuri (Olgami) and will trace the high school origins of how shaman duo Hwarim and Bonggil, played by Kim Go-eun and Lee Do-hyun in the 2024 film, came together to face occultish threats.
The story is set to begin when “Hwarim, who has been concealing her identity following a childhood encounter with a snake spirit called Jin, crosses paths with Bonggil at their school.”
Variety notes that Exhuma director Jang Jae-hyun participated in the project’s early concept stage.
“We are presenting ‘Maengjong,’ a new series capturing the appeal of the horror-occult genre, ahead of the full summer season,” said Lee Jeong-geun, Naver Webtoon’s Korea webtoon content leader. “With the high school story of Hwarim and Bonggil, who left a strong impression in the film ‘Exhuma,’ enhanced by Haemuri’s characteristic tense direction, we expect it will be a welcome work for genre fans.”
“It is meaningful that the spin-off story of ‘Exhuma,’ loved by many audiences, expands by meeting the new grammar of webtoon,” said Lee Hyeon-jeong, managing director of the film business division at Showbox, which distributed the film. “We hope it will be a fresh experience for both film fans and webtoon readers.”
Exhuma was a breakout hit in 2024, becoming the first Korean occult film to surpass 10 million ticket buyers and the country’s highest-grossing film of the year. I wrote in my review that “the intricately woven Exhuma delivers one of the year’s biggest surprises in horror so far.”
The bond between Hwarim and Bonggil was one of the film’s highlights, making this prequel webtoon a must for fans.
