We haven't heard much out of Warner Bros. upcoming Suicide Squad adaptation since the movie's Comic-Con panel, but a new reveal of Jared Leto in full costume as The Joker brings the Clown Prince of Crime out in full color. Leto was conspicuously absent from a massive wrap photo that featured nearly the entire cast at the end of August, but frankly I prefer this sort of bold, full-view, front-page costume reveal to a grainy, out-of-focus shot of him tucked away in a crowd.

The Joker steps out in a big way on the new cover of Empire magazine, which proclaims Leto's character as a "Psycho Killer" on this Suicide Squad Limited Edition Collector's Cover. Here's hoping we get more look at Squad members on alternate covers, but for now let's take a look at Leto's Joker. He's certainly different from any Joker we've seen before, trading in Jack Nicholson's tailored suit and Heath Ledger's rumpled jacket for a purple tinged trench coat, complete with baggy, drawstring "Arkham Asylum" pants, bare feet, and a purple cane. Oh, and let's not forget the head-to-toe make up which helps his electric green hair and deep black tattoos stand-out against his paler-than-white skin. It's a unique look; let's hope the performance can match it.
