Suicide Squad Update!

If your like me and are a huge fan of Jared Leto and his band 30 Seconds To Mars and follow either one on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc you'll probably have seen the never ending stream of pictures of Jared Leto and his new hairdo...I'll just give you a minute to catch your breath if you haven't seen these pictures yet or don't know yet that Jared has changed his long locks to bright blonde short haircut.

I have to admit when I first heard that this had happened because he was going to be playing The Joker in the new Suicide Squad film directed by David Ayer I wasn't sure why as the Joker has always had black hair in anything I have seen from reruns of the old TV series of Batman and Robin, Tim Burton's Batman films and excluding the new Christopher Nolan films where the Joker has green hair.

But in answer to this question ComicBook.com had reported on 13th March that according to Latin Review scoopster Umberto Gonzales on Instagram the Joker will in this film be heavily based on Frank Miller's Joker from "The Dark Knight Returns", and that this Joker will be slight, but fit, and he will have bleached but not painted skin and scars running over his body, and that there will be lots of references to the Joker's past crimes including the killing of one of Batman's sidekicks...-being a big fan of anything to do with Batman I'm thinking "oh no please don't let it be dick grayson"-, Umberto Gonzales also says that the psychiatrist and oldest enemy of Batman Hugo Strange is said to have a lot of scenes with the Joker but he hasn't heard any news on casting for this role.

Also ComicBook.com reports that already deep in pre-production David Ayer has tweeted this picture of squibs set up for a gunfight scene in this film all ready and waiting for filming to start this month:



Suicide Squad is set to be released in the UK according to IMDb.com in the UK on 5th August 2016.
