Nazi Hater
The Joker might be many things: a murderer and a thief, to name a couple. However, the one thing he isn’t is a Nazi. In the 1997 DC/Marvel crossover special Batman/Captain America, Red Skull hires the Joker to steal an atomic bomb for him. The clown prince evades the superheroes chasing him down and delivers the bomb to Red Skull. However, he’s horrified to discover that his employer is a Nazi. In one of his greatest lines ever, he says, “I may be a criminal lunatic, but I’m an American criminal lunatic!” The Joker then battles the Red Skull on the plane and allows Captain America and Batman to arrive and take over the plane before it reached Washington, D.C. That’s right, the Joker actually helped save America that one time.

Ryan Gosling
Jared Leto played the Joker in Suicide Squad, as we know, and his performance didn’t exactly convince the doubters that he was fit to fill in Heath Ledger or Jack Nicholson’s shoes. To be fair, he didn’t get all that much screen time to convince us, so let’s try to reserve judgment until we see him step into the role again. However, Leto was actually the second choice – after Ryan Gosling. Gosling turned down the role since he was unwilling to sign a deal with an option for multiple films.
