Joker (Suicide Squad, 2016)

The  is a major antagonist in the DC Extended Universe, appearing as a major antagonist in the 2016 superhero film ', and as an unseen yet pivotal antagonist in '. He is Batman's archenemy, the lover of Harley Quinn, a psychopathic crime lord, and a terrorist mastermind.

Along with Lex Luthor, he was widely criticized for reasons.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) One of Joker's iconic features of being a psychopathic criminal, a well written character and his iconic laugh, is known to be one of DC's best villains. But unlike his previous counterparts, this version is nothing but a generic edgy gangster wannabe rather than a madman who enjoys chaos.
 * 2) While he has his classic green hair, white make-up, red lipstick, and purple suit, his design is just awful. And also, why does he even have tattoos and silver teeth?
 * 3) * The Joker ended up looking like he was inspired by a real life rapper named 6ix9ine. He even look like a gangster ripoff of the Babadook
 * 4) Underwhelming performance by Jared Leto.
 * 5) *Even Leto himself complained that his best scenes were left on the cutting-room floor, and that the remaining scenes didn't do the character justice.
 * 6) He hardly serves any purpose to the plot other than being fan service and Harley Quinn's love interest.
 * 7) He lacks the charm, charisma, and everything that makes the Joker a really good villain.
 * 8) * He is hardly the Joker we all know and love from the comics, the Arkham video games, the cartoons, or even The Dark Knight.
 * 9) He was hyped as the main antagonist of Suicide Squad in trailers, TV spots and promotions, but it turns out that Enchantress (who isn't a much better villain either) is the main antagonist, while the Joker is a minor character, making him almost completely pointless.
 * 10) He literally said the line: "I'm an idea, state of mind."
 * 11) Both Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix have nailed the roles in their . One had stated that Joker wasn't meant to be a person, but an idea and representation about what's wrong with society, while the other is a broken man criticizing its unfair system, its corrupt government, and terrible citizens. But since this version only exists just to be Harley Quinn's love interest, what is Jared Leto's incarnation of Joker supposed to represent anyway?

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Jared Leto is not completely at fault on why this Joker is very lacking in character.
 * 2) "I'm not gonna kill you. I'm just gonna hurt you. Really, really bad."
 * 3) He is soon to be recast.
 * 4) *He is yet to have new scenes that were cut in the movie, which fans would call it the "Ayer cut" from the "Snyder cut" movement of 2017's Justice League, which Jared Leto would reprised.
