Alternate Harley Quinn & Joker Helicopter Scene Image From Suicide Squad

An image featuring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as Joker from an alternate scene at the end of Suicide Squad has surfaced.

It’s been said that originally Harley and Joker’s relationship was going to be much more abusive and serious than what ended up in the final cut.

According to a list of Suicide Squad cuts, Joker and Harley get into an argument after he rescues her in the hijacked helicopter. It’s even said he pushes her out to kill her, and then the helicopter gets shot down. 

Apparently Suicide Squad was reworked to remove the villainous sides of the Suicide Squad (and Joker) and attempted to make them look more like anti-heroes.

Jared Leto Reveals Gold Underwear Joker Scene Cut From Suicide Squad

Another Joker scene cut from Suicide Squad becomes known as Jared Leto explains to E! News that it was deemed too R-rated for the PG-13 rating of the film.

Apparently one scene in Suicide Squad was going to feature the Joker in what sounds like almost his birthday suit.

“They had to cut that scene out because it’s PG-13,” Leto responded when asked about a gold underwear Joker scene. 

The interviewer questions, “Gold underwear?”

With Leto offering, “Uh.. There was a little bit more than that.”

The Joker cut scenes have been a cause of controversy for Suicide Squad as Jared Leto let it be known he filmed enough scenes for the entire movie. Leto also reportedly said he isn’t happy with how things went down with WB, and fans aren’t happy Joker was only in around ten minutes of the movie’s footage.

“Suicide Squad” is directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Jared Leto Upset Over Joker In Suicide Squad; Says “F’ ‘Em”

Jared Leto’s Joker might be a one-and-done.

Leto recently starred in Suicide Squad, but it was learned a lot of his footage was cut from the movie, with Leto even stating the amount he filmed was enough for an entire Joker movie.

Now echoing a lot of fans’ sentiments, Jared Leto isn’t happy with how the Joker was portrayed in Suicide Squad and even says he felt tricked into doing the role.

A Jared Leto tumblr site jotted down (since deleted; update: mirror on imgur) Leto’s thoughts while at the Thirty Seconds To Mars (Leto’s band) Camp Mars event.

The descriptions offers:

• Jared Leto was very honest about Suicide Squad.

• He has dissappointment over learning about the theatrical cut.

• Leto still hasn’t seen the film.

• Leto feels “sort of” tricked into being a part of something that had been pitched to him by WB very differently.

• Leto went in thinking it would have been more artistic than what it became.

• Leto is feeling overwhelmed by all the hate regarding the look and choices.

• It’s noted Jared Leto would say he “needs more joker,” but at the same time seems unclear if he wants any part of the process going forward.

• It’s said it’s clear Jared Leto feels “fragile” about everything that had happened just two weeks before, and that he concentrated on his work so he can move forward to his next project.

• It’s futher noted that Jared Leto will be starring in The Outsider, but after that is “anyone’s guess at this point.”

• Jared Leto also let it be known his Suicide Squad contract had a clause that prohibited him from doing any dangerous activities. Leto likes to rock climb which he wasn’t able to do. Jared Leto said the following regarding that contract to WB, “F-ck ’em.”

Whether your hated or loved Suicide Squad, you can’t argue against the fact that the story was rather weak.

Now a video has hit YouTube, that is currently trending at #1 and has amassed almost 1.1 million views, which just shreds David Ayer’s script.

The video comes from the Jenny Nicholson YouTube channel, who honestly I have never heard of, but she does a good job of putting forth why certain things in Suicide Squad didn’t make sense, and it’s rather funny.

Maybe WB can hire her as a consultant?

However, despite all the criticisms, Suicide Squad remains #1 at the box office.

Suicide Squad Producers Defend Cuts; Back Zack Snyder & Justice League

Following Suicide Squad‘s poor reviews, an article revealed that lots of cuts were made, and Jared Leto even let it be known that he filmed enough scenes for an entire Joker solo movie, even though the Joker appeared in only around ten minutes or so of the film.

Now the Suicide Squad producers, Richard Suckle and Batman producer Charles Roven, come out and defend all the cuts as well as back Batman Vs. Superman and Justice League director Zack Snyder, who was also a producer on Suicide Squad.

“Yes, there were a couple of different cuts of the movie, but they all really had to do with finding the final shape of the movie,” Roven told WSJ. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and that’s not the first time something like this has happened, and it won’t be the last. And so sometimes in order to get the work done, you really just have to bring on more people and spend really long days and nights getting work done to get it ready.”

Regarding cutting Jared Leto’s Joker from Suicide Squad, Roven mentions that’s also part of the process.

“David Ayer shoots a tremendous amount of footage, and when it comes to things having to do with the Joker, Jared does many takes and all the takes are very, very different, and sometimes the scenes can go on for a very long time, and sometimes the scenes can be, when you’re more on page, tighter, etc.” Roven said. “Sometimes those impromptu scenes are fantastic, sometimes they’re not. That’s all part of the process. What you don’t want to do is you don’t want to limit the process.”

Following the Batman Vs. Superman fallout, as the movie never reached the billion dollar mark and received equally as bad reviews a Suicide Squad, rumors were flying that Zack Snyder might be let go from Justice League – which hasn’t happened – but Roven offers Zack Snyder has their complete support.

“I’m just saying you need to pay attention [to criticism], but you also need to stay true to your vision,” says Roven, who is also on board Justice League as producer. “Zack Snyder is a great director.”

Suckle also added that regarding Suicide Squad, “We’re ecstatic by the fan support and the fan reaction that we’ve received.”

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release, with “Wonder Woman” coming out June 2, 2017.

David Ayer Explains Batman, Jason Todd Robin & Joker Connection

We get some backstory on Batman, the dead Robin Jason Todd, and Joker in the DCEU.

Empire caught up with Suicide Squad director David Ayer who offers up the reason why Joker has certain tattoos as well as why he wears a teeth grill, which has to do with what went down with Robin.

“This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection,” Ayer said. “But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It’s in the asylum where Joker would have done the ‘damaged’ tattoo as a message to Batman saying, ‘You’ve damaged me. I was so beautiful before and now you’ve destroyed my face.’ That’s where the grill comes from.”

Suicide Squad also revealed that Harley Quinn had a hand in Robin’s death.

Jason Todd is currently rumored to be returning as Red Hood in the solo Ben Affleck Batman movie, with a separate rumor stating it may take place within Arkham Asylum.

It feels good to be bad… Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Supervillains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

Jim Starlin Says Suicide Squad Is Garbage

Some people loved Suicide Squad, some people thought it was just okay, and then some people just loathed it.

Speaking of the latter, the critics utterly destroyed Suicide Squad as it sits at 26% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is even lower than Batman Vs. Superman.

Now we can add Marvel Comics Thanos creator Jim Starlin to the list. Starlin took to his Facebook page to offer that Suicide Squad is a “predictable piece of garbage.”

“Got reluctantly hauled of by a friend to go see Suicide Squad last night,” Starlin posted. “What a mistake! What a badly written, dull and predictable piece of garbage. Can’t believe some of the overly kind reviews this movie’s gotten. Feel sorry for the good actors stuck in it. Want my $8.50 and those two hours of my life back.”

Jim Starlin is no stranger to DC Comics as well, having worked on Batman and Legion of Super-Heroes. 

Zack Snyder even used a Jim Starlin DC-created character in Batman Vs. Superman with KGBeast. WB also invited Starlin to the premiere of BVS, but when Starlin and his wife showed up, they got turned away because their names weren’t on the guest list.

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.
