Even with a great box office (approximately US$ 746 million collected worldwide), Suicide squad (2016) was a failure with the public, in addition to having some questionable aesthetic decisions. In fact, one of the director’s biggest regrets David Ayer involves jokerplayed by Jared Leto.
On Twitter, an internet user wrote how he thinks Ayer had an idea to put tattoos on the villain, but the filmmaker blames it on the studio’s decision, Warner Bros.. However, he denied the theory and made a self-criticism.
“I own the tattoo idea 100%. It was my choice.
