While it might not be the most popular opinion, I personally appreciated Leto’s interpretation of the Joker. He’s no Heath Ledger, of course, but considering how often the character has been brought to life, I thought Leto’s performance was at least unique.

For me, it was too brief to even count as an interpretation. I don’t get how people can compare Leto’s performance to Ledger’s or Phoenix’s, simply because of how much more there is to the latter two’s, not even taking into account artistic quality or interpretation.

It was supposed to be a franchise. Honestly, it’s not like Leto was bad as the Joker, it’s his off screen antics and the rest of the movie being absolute trash that killed the reception.
But I also don’t really mind Joker being a bit of a fuckboi. There are two perfect Jokers, Ledger and Hamill, and no one will be able to top them.
