Zack Snyder has posted yet another DC throwback, this time releasing a fresh image of Jared Leto’s Joker. The photo shows Leto in full Knightmare-era wardrobe, flashing a peace sign while holding an assault rifle — the chaotic energy that defined Snyder’s version of the character.
Snyder captioned the image: “50mm dream lens Leica monochrome.”
It’s another reminder of just how distinct Snyder’s Joker really was, unlike any other live-action version.
Snyder Keeps Dropping DC Images
This Joker photo follows Snyder’s recent run of Superman, Batman, Deathstroke and Joker shots from his DC era. The posts aren’t slowing down, and each one continues adding fuel to speculation as the future of Warner Bros. Discovery shifts again.
Fans believe Snyder wouldn’t be posting this much DC material unless something is moving behind the scenes, especially as Snyder has been with Netflix for years and Netflix is now exploring a move to acquire WBD.
Leto’s Joker Still Sparks Big Reactions
Whether you loved or hated Leto’s take, it was undeniably unique. Snyder’s Knightmare Joker — the long hair, smeared makeup, SWAT gear, and deranged calm — remains one of the most talked-about parts of the Snyder Cut.
This new image showcases the version Snyder always wanted the world to see: unhinged, dangerous and theatrical.
Another Timely Batman-Universe Drop
Snyder has now posted multiple photos from the Knightmare sequence in rapid succession. Fans are calling it suspiciously well-timed.
We were told “EVERYONE” moved on from the SnyderVerse, with Zack only interested in returning someday for The Dark Knight Returns. But the way he keeps releasing these images — right as Netflix evaluates a WBD purchase — has fans wondering if he knows something the rest of the industry doesn’t.
