First look of Jared Leto as Joker in The Snyder Cut revealed 

So as we get closer to the release date for The Snyder Cut we are getting more and more promotional material and yesterday showed the first look of Jared Leto's return of The Joker and there is actually quite a bit to break down so here are my thoughts on the image and Leto's role in the film. 

Will be a part of The Knightmare Scenes

The whole idea of the Knightmare timeline was introduced in Batman V Superman, seeing a world destroyed by Darkseid and an evil Superman, with Batman fighting them. This Joker is older then the one we have seen and clearly more ragged, it has been confirmed that this character is a part of this timeline and this is where he will be involved. 

Will only be a small role

It has been confirmed that there is only 4 minutes of new footage from the recently filmed reshoots that we know Leto was a part of. This confirms the news that his role in this film is going to be really small, even with the lack of screen time hopefully this cameo can be memorable enough to redeem the character. 

Jared Leto & Ben Affleck will finally go head to head

Apart from a small scene in Suicide Squad, Leto and Affleck haven't gone face to face as a Batman & Joker but it has been confirmed that they will here. There have been some interesting rumours about how their relationship will be represented on screen. 

The tattoos are gone 

One of the biggest criticism's of Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad was the actual design and look of the character, mainly the tattoos that really were distracting. Especially the one on his head saying damaged, but we now know at least that tattoo and probably the others are completely gone and this look is much better. 

Will be a different take on the character 

A mix of lack of screen time and weird acting really let down Leto's Joker and probably made him the worst incarnation of the character. But the way that Snyder describes it, it seems like that is gone and this Joker will be more serious and be more appropriate for this film and the sequences that he is a part of. 

Overall

Like many, I didn't like Leto's portrayal of Joker in Suicide Squad, though I don't think it was all his fault. If looks are anything to go by this version of the character looks like a big improvement and hopefully with the minimal screen time can be a memorable part of the film.
