This is how the darkest Joker looks in the Justice League Snyder Cut; first details of this new version of the villain in a world devastated by Darkseid.
After the recent first look as a teaser to the new version of Jared Leto’s Joker for the new movie Zack Snyder’s Justice League, we can finally enjoy the first full images of this new version of the famous Batman villain through two photographs published by Vanity Fair. In addition, both images are accompanied by the first details about the character and how he will be integrated into the nightmare world of Darkseid with Knightmare Batman.
Premiere on HBO on March 18
Thus, after the controversial version of Jared Leto’s Joker in Suicide Squad, it was already announced that the actor was leaving the role to make way for other versions, be it the acclaimed film Joker by Joaquin Phoenix where he delved into the origins of the villain or a more than likely recast for the next version of Matt Reeves’ Batman. Be that as it may, Zack Snyder has made Leto return to the role of the Clown Prince of Crime, albeit this time in a much more terrifying and disturbing way.
“In hindsight, the Joker is really the only thing I was thinking about. My intention was always to bring the Joker into that world, “says Snyder. And it is that in these first images of the character, the original aesthetics have been completely discarded to bet on a dark image, with the face painted white, a smile? haunting and a pulled back mane that should be green. And although in the images it is not appreciated, Snyder assures that this new Joker wears a bulletproof vest adorned with trophies of police plates.
“I always wanted to explore Robin’s death. And if there was ever going to be an upcoming movie, which of course there probably won’t be, I wanted to do a flashback where we find out how Robin died, how Joker killed him and burned Wayne Manor, and everything that happened between him and Bruce. Snyder says.
On the context of this new version of the Joker, Snyder assures that “it is like the Ghost of Christmas to come, providing motivation through terror. I also felt that the fans deserved this from the DC Universe. Jared Leto’s Joker and Ben Affleck’s Batman were never together ”, he concludes, thus anticipating a more than likely confrontation in the devastated world of Darkseid.
