Jared Leto's 'Joker' inspired by David Bowie
Actor Jared Leto has said his character 'Joker' in Suicide Squad was partly inspired by rock star David Bowie, who passed away in January. "I think David Bowie’s probably an inspiration for, like, almost anything you could do creatively," said Leto. Meanwhile, Leto is hoping that the Joker gets a standalone film to explore the "twisted but lovely" character more.
