I'd be interested in seeing what a different writer and director would do with him. He's a talented actor, and if they get it right, they could do wonders I think.
Always knew Jared was a good actor, but SS convinced me beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was not meant for the Joker... Any change in writing or direction would be hard-pressed to convince me otherwise now, with the awful first impression his Joker gave me.
Joel Schumacher didn't get to do another film after Batman & Robin as he initially planned, but Jared Leto Joker gets a 2nd chance? LMAO
B&R??? oh cmon, man. i agree that suicide squad was bad, but let's be fair.

I'm not necessarily comparing SS to B&R as a film, but everything wrong about Leto's Joker in SS is honestly up there with Arnold's Freeze and other such misportrayals.
And if what's true about Batman Forever & B&R. WB's wanted those films to go that way with the Campy route because Burton's films were too scary for kids.
