Look, Suicide Squad wasn't exactly what you'd call a great movie. That's not to say anybody in particular is to blame for that -- after all, there were plenty of talented people involved in the creation process. Even Jared Leto's maligned take on Joker might have had some legs if the majority of his footage wasn't collecting dust on the cutting room floor. In any case, the narrative surrounding David Ayer's villainous romp is far from flattering, though it does have its ardent supporters all the same.

Supporters who have once again mobilized on social media with a simple goal: push for an official "Ayer Cut" of Suicide Squad, one that presumably features the bulk of the lost Joker footage -- a loss that has been largely thought to have occurred due to studio intervention. And seeing as Zack Synder's long-awaited Justice League cut recently secured a release date (against all odds, some would say), Ayer has once again taken to social media to drum up Suicide Squad hype. How? By firing off an appropriately edgy Joker meme, of course.

Following the picture, fans sparked up a campaign of #ReleaseTheAyerCut, with the aim to follow the footsteps of Snyder's own Justice League. Though it's unclear as to whether this one will have the same momentum as its DC counterpart, one has to wonder if morbid curiosity to see more of Leto's Joker will prove fruitful. Should a David Ayer cut of Suicide Squad ever surface, will you be tuning in?

Suicide Squad writer and director, David Ayer, took the time to interact with some fans over Twitter earlier this week about how misunderstood the character of the Joker, portrayed by Jared Leto, was in the 2016 DCEU film. Despite the immense hype that surrounded the super-villain centred movie prior to its release, Suicide Squad proved to be a widespread disappointment, with many diehard fans and newcomers alike regarding Jared's depiction of the Joker as particularly awful. Although he did have some large shoes to fill—most notably the late Heath Ledger's in 2008's The Dark Knight—his performance was still less than impressive, with some even deeming it the worst onscreen portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime in history.

However, Ayer certainly doesn't feel that way. In fact, he sympathizes with Jared to this day due to how much work he put into the character, only for it to be criticized so heavily. The filmmaker responded to a fan's explanation of why the Joker's notoriously mocked "Damaged" tattoo across his forehead was actually "ingenious" given the back story.

Jared Leto, the notable actor turned musician, shared the aftermath footage of the moment a rock-climbing incident could have led to his death. The 48-year-old Louisiana-bred thespian took to his Twitter account this past Friday (March 6) to share photos and video of what transpired when he began to notice the rope that was supporting his body weight had begun to fray before he could establish himself in a save spot in the world-renowned Red Rock Canyon in Colorado.

The Suicide Squad actor, captioned the initial Twitter post featuring a photo of him gripping onto the side of a cliff and his frayed support rope, writing:

"Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died. Took a pretty good fall climbing with @AlexHonnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air. I remember looking down at the ground below."

Leto followed up the original Tweet with a short ten-second video of the incident where his helmet cam recorded the footage of the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman frantically gasping for air and attempting to calm his nerves, as he states:

"Holy f*cking sh*t! Holy f*ck! It was fraying right at the point!"

With Jared Leto and the rest of the Morbius (2020) cast preparing to go into full promo mode prior to the release of the "Living Vampire" movie in July, it would be tragic if the world and the production lost their leading man to an unexpected rock climbing accident. Check out Jared Leto's scary rock climbing moment in the photos and video provided below. 

Following the lackluster reception of Suicide Squad (2016) upon its release, Warner Bros. needed a film to help reenergize the movie franchise which is set to release its second installment in 2021. The DC Universe team went to work curating a Suicide Squad spin-off centered around the Joker's accomplice and lover, Harley Quinn, entitled, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) which is set to hit theaters around the globe next week. Now, with press screenings and Warner Bros. in full promo mode for their latest creation, viewers of the early screenings are claiming that Birds of Prey is some of the best work to come out of the DC Universe in recent history. 

David Ayer has had his hand in the making of some of the most culturally relevant cinema over the past couple of decades. Ayer wrote Training Day (2001), co-wrote The Fast & The Furious (2001), and directed Netflix's Bright (2017) starring Will Smith. The multifaceted director also provided his services directing DC Universe film, Suicide Squad (2016). Back during the opening weeks of the movie, in a moment of passion Ayer screamed, "f*ck Marvel" after someone in the audience of a Suicide Squad event yelled the insult at a premiere event.  

In the upcoming spin-off of 2016’s hot mess Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn has emancipated herself from her longtime lover, the Joker. The almost-too-long title of the film, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), even informs this fact. Despite this evident reference to the infamous crazy clown character, as well as the various mentions of him in the trailer for the highly anticipated DC Comics project, Joker, who was played by Jared Leto in Suicide Squad, does not make any such appearance in the actual Bird of Prey film itself. According to Variety, Margot Robbie, who will be reprising her role as Harley, confirmed that “Leto’s incarnation of the character doesn’t appear, not even as a cameo.” She told Screen Rant, “In this film though we’re exploring her not being with Joker.”

This news is not entirely shocking, due to how unhealthy and toxic Harley and “Mista J”‘s relationship has always been, a sentiment that Margot seconds. She has never understood “why the wildly brilliant, unstable character” of Harley Quinn “would stay in a relationship with the Joker…who ‘wants to kill her most of the time.'” “What’s always surprised me,” she told Screen Rant, “and I said this when publicizing Suicide Squad, the first film, is that her relationship with Joker always did confuse me the most. That was the thing that took me the longest to get my head around.”

Though Jared’s Joker will not be disrupting Harley’s post-breakup high, Margot did have some kind words for Joker—the Joaquin Phoenix-starring Todd Phillips film, that is. Though she thought Joaquin “did a phenomenal job” in his role, she pointed out that Birds of Prey differs greatly from Joker in terms of tone. “I feel like the ‘Joker’ film was much more grounded. Ours is different. It’s heightened.” Margot not only stars in Birds of Prey but produced it as well, and it is set to hit theatres on February 7th, 2020.

Who else forgot about (or was seriously trying to forget) Kat Stacks? The infamous hip-hop groupie was notorious at the beginning of last decade for sleeping around with some of the industry’s hottest rappers of the moment. We hadn’t heard from/about her in years and, like everybody else who’s totally tired of her replacement Celina Powell, Lil Duval did some digging and found that the former video vixen is actually in jail right now. He proceeded to clown her for her mugshot, which he believes is worthy of a spot in a popular movie.

“I just asked about kat stacks last week and look who popped back up in 2020,” wrote Lil Duval on Instagram, posting a copy of her mugshot. The comedian laughed hard when he realized that she shares a resemblance with Jared Leto’s character in a recent film. “Looking like the joker from suicide squad,” joked Duval. 

Kat Stacks, whose real name is Andrea Herrera, was allegedly arrested on December 30 for domestic violence according to the information in Lil Duval’s post. Stacks has been referred to as the “original” version of Cardi B, flaunting a similar persona but never reaching the same level of success as the Bronx superstar. Who misses her? Anyone?
