barf.

I get what they're going for, but this would have been more relevant about ten years ago during the emo craze.

I mean, having "damaged" written across his forehead? Really? :lol:

Looks like a My Chemical Romance reject.

I think Jared Leto is super-talented but loathe Jai Courtney and am ambivalent towards Will Smith these days. Not super excited for this.

I remember when people gave Heath Ledger shit for his version of "The Joker," and it turned out to be one of greatest performances in comic-based movies of all time. I'm gonna wait until the trailer is out before I pass any judgment on it.

Same, but I still found this funny:

But people gave Ledger shit because of his acting pedigree and status, prior to the film, as a pretty-boy. Once the movie's first official photo of the Joker came out, people had already started to veer away from the hate, and then the trailer "changed everything," to quote the character himself. (BTW, back when Ledger was first announced as the Joker, I was a big defender of his, as I'd noticed the potential of his acting chops in some of his smaller-scale indie flicks.)

I was totally on board with Leto as an actor, but think the actual look they've chosen to go with is stupid, regardless of how the film ends up.

No bullshit, I said pretty much the exact thing your post says to someone last night.
