Obviously, his makeover is totally different to that of Heath Ledger’s look, only that they have the same green hair and red lips. Over the past few months, Leto’s transformation into the infamous villain has been the talk of social media. For this role, he was required to prepare physically and mentally. He explained:
“The opportunity to take on this nearly Shakespearean character – that’s what graphic novels and comic books are becoming, right? He is this beautiful disaster of a character – what a big challenge.”
Majority of the reaction to Leto’s version of Joker has been positive. However, as is the usual case these days, the photo shared was edited and turned to parodies and memes, some of which are shown below:  The Joker
