The actor, who played the character in 'Suicide Squad,' felt "alienated and upset" when Warner Bros. greenlit Todd Phillips' version with Joaquin Phoenix instead.

According to sources familiar with Leto’s behavior, when the Oscar-winning actor learned of the Phillips project, he not only complained bitterly to his agents at CAA, who also represent Phillips, but asked his music manager, Irving Azoff, to call the leader of Warners parent company (it’s unclear whether it was Time Warner’s Jeff Bewkes or AT&T’s Randall Stephenson, depending on the timing). The idea was to get Warners to kill the Phillips film.

Had Leto's Joker not been complete trash, I would have understood. But he should be embarrassed by his performance and that movie.

So, Leto thought he had ownership of a character that had been by a ton of other different actors and he had only portrayed once?

This wasn’t The Lone Ranger being done by Clayton Moore for years then getting sued by the company doing the new Lone Ranger film.

He always stays in character through the DVD commentary.

Always.

The Joker's boss in the new movie was the original Raphael in the 1990 Turtles movie.

Should have sent them used condoms and dead rats. That seemed to endear himself to Will Smith and Margot Robbie

I still can’t believe what a great job Heath Ledger did as Joker and also that he is deceased.

Leto played Joker in a terrible movie.

Any conversation about his performance has to start and end this.

The only thing worse than Jared Leto's acting is his shitty band

The most amazing thing in the story is he actually thought he had enough clout to even make the demand. I had literally never heard of him before his disastrous turn as Joker. I couldn't pick him out of a line up without the Joker make up on. Does he think his name puts a single arse in a theater seat?
