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

Why This Incarnation Of The Joker Is Loathsome

 * 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. However, unlike his previous counterparts, this version is nothing but a generic gangster.
 * 2) Despite the 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) Underwhelming performance by Jared Leto. 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.
 * 4) He hardly serves any purpose to the plot other than being Harley Quinn's love interest.
 * 5) He lacks the charm, charisma, and everything that makes the Joker a really good villain.
 * 6) * In fact, he is hardly the Joker we all know and love from the comics, the Arkham video games, the cartoons, or even The Dark Knight.
 * 7) 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.
 * 8) Both Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix have nailed the roles in their   and the fact that Joker wasn't meant to be a person, but an idea and representation about what's wrong with society, 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) Despite him lacking the charisma and charm, he still has some of the charm that the original Joker had in the comics.
 * 2) "I'm not gonna kill you. I'm just gonna hurt you. Really, really bad."
 * 3) He is soon to be recasted.
