NS: Suicide Squad's Joker getting his own film

[cyberghostface]

So fairly big news -- Variety has revealed that Jared Leto's Joker is getting his own spinoff. To clarify, this is NOT the same film as Scorsese's Joker origin film which is in its own continuity outside of the DCEU. 

Thoughts? Unlike a lot of people I don't hate Leto's Joker. If anything my main complaint was how little he was utilized in comparison to the main villains who were forgettable at best. That and I think the 'Damaged' tattoo and the capped teeth are pretty silly (but if Joker can get a new face after cutting it off hopefully it's not too much of a problem for a tattoo removal and some dental work). Acting-wise, however, I thought Leto was pretty decent with what little he had to work with. There's a lot of room for improvement but I think there's potential with the right director and script to do the Joker justice.

With Harley as the central focus, yes.
