I’m one of the few people who thought his Joker was fine. Most versions are heavy on the “clown” and light on the “prince of crime” part. I like seeing him depicted as a gangster rather than just an anarchist, and the modern version of that in Suicide Squad worked for me. The brief scene we get of him in the club has a lot of subtext. You could get an actual sense of how he fit in among and also disrupted the traditional mobs in Gotham by running his own enterprise that threatened them by creating chaos that the other gangs couldn’t adapt to. The only thing I’d get rid of is that “damaged” tattoo on his forehead.

Most of that is independent of Leto’s performance, though, which is… fine.

The only other thing I saw him in was Blade Runner and he was also… fine. More over the top than anything else in the movie so he didn’t really fit in, and he felt tacked on to what would have been a mostly complete movie without him.

I guess that’s it. His performances are fine. Not great, but get a lot more hate because he’s generally known to be an insufferable, arrogant douche in real life.
