Taking on the role of the Joker from the 'Batman' universe isn't an easy proposition after Heath Ledger gave such a definitive performance in 'The Dark Knight'; just ask Jared Leto, who received rough reviews for his own interpretation in 'The Suicide Squad'.

Given the fan base that the Batman universe has, this is a surefire hit, and should be an intriguing watch.
