Suicide Squad Director David Ayer Says Jared Leto Was Never Meant To Wear The Batsuit

Suicide Squad director David Ayer took to Twitter over the weekend to shoot down pressing rumors about the 2016 film. Asked about a Hot Toys action figure that depicting Jared Leto's Joker in a Batman suit, an officially licensed toy tying into the movie, Ayer said that the design was only ever a toy concept and that no costume was ever produced for the film.

Ayer doesn't know what he missed out on. "What if Batman was the Joker?" is a perfect Mark Millar comic book/movie pitch.

Maybe Ayer will change his mind by the time Suicide Squad 2 rolls around and consider putting Leto in the batsuit at that time. Or maybe, with Ben Affleck looking for a way to exit the DCEU after the disappointing box office of Justice League, Leto could take over the role officially, leaving the Joker role open for Leonardo DiCaprio, and giving new meaning to the phrase "shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic."

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
