Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to get pumped for with Joker and Harley. Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger’s Jokers were classic performances that wowed crowds and did Batman’s number-one nemesis justice, so there’s a painful amount of anticipation to see what Jared Leto will do with his take on the Clown Prince of Crime.
