Jared Leto has shared a gruesome piece of Zack Snyder's Justice League fan art, showing his Joker holding Batman'southward severed head before an evil Superman. The star kickoff played the Clown Prince of Offense in 2016'due south Suicide Team, though the final version of the moving picture ended up including significantly less screen time for the Joker than was promised in the trailers. Leto returned to the office in Zack Snyder'southward Justice League, where he filmed a proper confrontation scene with Ben Affleck's Batman, prepare in the apocalyptic Knightmare hereafter.

Without a uncertainty, Leto'due south Joker is i of the well-nigh divisive portrayals of the villain in DC history. Many fans condemned the functioning forth with Suicide Team as a whole, while others lamented the last studio edit of the film that severely restricted the character. Joker'due south return in the Snyder Cut of Justice League was celebrated past many of the fans who pushed for the director'south cut release. However, some remain disappointed that Leto's Joker never actually got a chance to evidence off the villain'south darkest sides in the DCEU.

In a new piece of fan fine art past Instagram-based artist Hasan Kazi (ihasankazi.psd), Leto's Joker is depicted in his Snyder Cut Knightmare outfit, brandishing Batman's severed mask equally Superman, Deathstroke, Cyborg, Flash and others all stare. Clearly, the piece appealed to Leto, who shared the art to his own Instagram story uncaptioned. It's fun to see a talented artist like Kazi getting recognized by the discipline of his work, and equally fun to see Leto still clearly attached to the Joker character.

While Leto didn't get to do much in Zack Snyder'due south Justice League, he would take had a much larger role in the cancelled sequel prepare primarily within the Knightmare futurity. Unfortunately, due to DC and Warner Bros. opting to go in a different direction with the DCEU than Snyder's original vision, those plans will probably never take shape on screen. A comic volume continuation of Snyder'southward planned story seems more likely at this signal, though even that may exist a longshot.

Of grade, that doesn't mean that Leto has put on the Joker makeup for the final time. Affleck is coming back to play Bruce Wayne again in The Flash, so while the overall Justice League sequel plan has been cancelled, individual characters from that function of the DCEU can certainly still pop up in the time to come. Peradventure he'll feature in the third Suicide Squad film. Or maybe he and Batfleck will one day get a chance to go on their Justice League stare-down.
