If you’re one of the millions of fans hyped about David Ayer’s upcoming “Suicide Squad” movie for Warner Bros., today is a good day. The film won’t be out until August 2016 and Warners will probably keep many details about it under wraps, but paparazzi shots have just revealed what is the first good look at Jared Leto as The Joker.

It’s true, a couple of official shots were released in the past few days, but they were blurry and taken from an angle where they revealed very little. This one is blurry as well, but it’s better than anything we’ve seen so far.

Jared Leto, sporting neon green hair and shaved eyebrows, stepped out to grab a bite to eat with friends in Toronto, Canada, in between shooting scenes for the movie, and paparazzi were on hand. At one point, he showed one of his friends a photo on his cell phone, of himself in character.

Paparazzi caught that. You can see it in the Instagram pic below, from Aussie director Ryan Unicomb. The second Instagram post, a video this time, is now getting traction online because it is believed to show Leto telling off a heckler using his Joker voice.

*Please be advised that discretion is recommended when watching it because it contains graphic language that might offend.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Leto teases fans at his 30 Seconds of Mars concerts with what is believed to be his voice for The Joker. He’s also doing it in the Vine below, which emerged online several weeks ago.
