The Joker Won't Be a Part of Zack Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE Movie
There was a rumor being reported online recently that Jared Leto's The Joker would be included in Zack Snyder's Justice League. The reports surfaced as the film production is headed to Iceland. If you happened to see that rumor and wondered if there was any truth to it, the answer it no.
Heroic Hollywood founder and The Wrap reporter Umberto Gonzalez, took to Twitter to set the record straight saying:
Sorry DC fanboys. Yesterday's rumor that surfaced about Jared Leto being in JUSTICE LEAGUE? Unfortunately, not true. #DEADED

It didn't seem like The Joker would even fit intoo Justice League. On top of that, a lot of fans really didn't really seem to care for Leto's version of The Joker anyways. I would have liked to see more development of the character in Suicide Squad. Turning him into a secondary character might have been a mistake. I really enjoyed Suicide Squad, but The Joker should've been introduced into the DCEU in his own movie with Harley Quinn.
The next time we see The Joker should be in Ben Affleck's solo Batman film, unless WB does decides to give him and Harley Quinn their own solo film.
