While Warner Bros. is putting together the cast and production of the super-villain team, Task Force X. After sharing his first look of The Joker in the Suicide Squad movie, actor Jack Nicholson (who played the clown prince in Tim Burton's Batman) commented on Jared Leto's photos, which could be read as a diss or compliment.
As we previously mentioned, when the government has a mission too hot for the superheroes to handle, they send in the bad guys to take care of the business. In a plot reminiscent of The Dirty Dozen, if the Suicide Squad - which includes the captured band of super-villains Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and Captain Boomerang - survives their deadly mission, their prison sentence will then be reduced.
The star-studded cast so far includes Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jared Leto (Joker), Will Smith (Deadshot), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) and Cara Delevingne (Enchantress).
According to IGN, writer/director director David Ayer tweeted a first glimpse of the Oscar-winning actor with the Joker's signature green hair. In the snapshot, the Dallas Buyers Club actor is holding a camera in his hands and strikes the iconic pose similar to writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland's classic Killing Joke cover.
Though the make-up hasn't been put on, 43 year old cut his previous long strands, dyed his hair a different color, and shaved his bearded chin.
TMZ has the footage when the paparazzi surrounded the Chinatown actor, asking his thoughts on the current NBA season. After saying he lost interest because the Lakers, the cameraman continued asking, "Have you seen the new look? How do you think Jared Leto will do as the new Joker?
Nicholson's response of "Fine!" could either be interrupted as he doesn't care, he means it in his own way, or he really doesn't care at all.
Maybe Nicholson doesn't want a repeat of last time. Back in 2008, as quoted by The New York Daily News, The Departed actor commented on Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)'s death, "Well, I warned him."
