Jared Leto Creeped Everyone Out

One of the more recent portrayals of the Joker was by Jared Leto in Suicide Squad. His take on the role resulted in a younger and more punk Joker. Leto truly gave this role his all – some might say he might have given too much. While on set, he stayed in character, and as a result, creeped out all his co-stars. He sent Margot Robbie, who was playing Harley Quinn, a live rat and a love letter, while the rest of the cast got a dead hog.

High Body Count

The Joker has the highest body count in the DC universe. From ramming people’s heads into pencils to shooting his victims point-blank in the face, the Joker has done his fair share of killings. According to 1996’s The Joker: Devil’s Advocate, he’s got a body count of over 2,000 people. Considering the book was released 23 years ago, it’s safe to say that the numbers are probably much higher now. Keep in mind that these are only known kills. How many of his own people has he bumped off for a laugh? What about the people he killed that were never found? All we know now is that the Joker was spared the death penalty only because of his insanity.
