Review: Harley Quinn's star is born amid sloppy 'Suicide Squad' ". August 5, 2016 . Retrieved August 20, 2016. Development and portrayal [ edit ] Behind the scenes [ edit ] Actor Jared Leto reportedly never broke character during the production of Suicide Squad and carried out numerous antics with his fellow cast members.

The Thinker first appeared as a Flash villain in 1943, where he was a man by the name of Clifford DeVoe who used a “thinking cap” to turn his thoughts into force. Another version of the Thinker, Clifford Carmichael, debuted in the late ’70s and was a foe to the hero Firestorm. This version implanted parts of the original Thinker’s cap directly into his brain. The movie version of The Thinker is neither of these two characters. He is a new version named Gaius Grieves, one seemingly inspired by a more recent version of the character from the early 2010s. This Thinker’s real name is unknown in the comics, but he has incredible intelligence and predictive abilities at the expense of his own body’s health. This is not Hot Toys' first rendition of the Joker, as there are versions ranging from the Batman '66 take, to figures not seen in the actual films -- including figures that were sculpted in the "spirit of the movie." The latest newest version captures Leto's looks with a newly painted head-sculpt, featuring a more serious "smile." I read an article that stated David Ayer only had six weeks to put a script together and it unfortunately it shows. I felt like I was watching a long trailer - cool and fun scenes that were disconnected from each other.But when DC finally introduced Harley Quinn to the comic books, they didn’t seem to know what to do with her, struggling to find the right tone in a more adult medium. Part of this is an issue between the mediums. In a worthwhile and in-depth essay on the character on Vulture, writer Abraham Riesman makes a good point: Batman: The Animated Series was a children’s show, which meant that while the Joker is still criminally insane, he’s not the mass-murdering, ultra-violent sociopath we see in the comics (or even as played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight). Harley being in love with the Joker of the comics changes the tenor of her character and how we view her. “On the other hand, if you move her away from the Joker, you remove her defining relationship. It would be like writing years' worth of Joker stories that didn't involve Batman: empty and confusing,” Riesman writes. I disagree with Riesman here. If anything, moving Harley away from this relationship (and any she uses as a crutch) is tantamount to the evolution the character desperately needs. Characters can evolve quite dramatically in the comics—it’s the nature of medium. So, why can’t Harley? Sperling, Nicole (April 15, 2016). "Jared Leto dives deep to play The Joker in Suicide Squad".

Yeah, we're referring to the Suicide Squad, and they knew justice had a bad side. But they're not the only ones—their band of ragtag, outcast, badass fans just like you had a hunch, too.Cave, James (May 20, 2016). "Jared Leto Nearly Sacrificed His Eyebrows For The Sake Of Acting".
