Joker's Entire Costume Revealed On New Empire Cover
The Internet has been abuzz with praise and hate for the tattooed look of the Joker that will hit the silver screen next summer's Suicide Squad movie. The new issue of Empire magazine takes a closer look at the film, and gives us our first look at Joker's full getup, which includes Arkham-labeled sweatpants.
In the magazine, actor Jared Leto dives into the mind games of playing Joker. “There was definitely a period of … detachment,” Leto says. “I took a pretty deep dive. But this was a unique opportunity and I couldn’t imagine doing it another way. It was fun, playing those psychological games. But at the same time it was very painful, like giving birth out of my prick hole.”
The Joker is briefly featured in Suicide Squad's debut trailer. Let us know what you think of Joker's look and what you've seen of Leto's performance in the comments section below. Suicide Squad opens on August 6.
