Suicide Squad , which turn in 2016 , was splendidly a decisive disappointment for Warner Bros. Though it did well at the box office , it received mostly disconfirming reviews . As time has run on , Ayer has been more open about the final version of the film not stage his intended vision . After hinting at it for for a while , he confirmed recentlyhis gash ofSuicide Squaddoes existand is closely complete .
Many of the director ’s gelded detail Ayer has disclose require the film ’s darkness . From what he ’s say in the past tense , his reading was much darker than what Warner Bros. released . For example , last week Ayer revealedJoker ( Jared Leto ) originally killed Monster T(Common ) by intimidating him into ending his own life . Another cut Joker conniption featured Leto with a burn side following the movie ’s whirlybird clash . Joker is arguablySuicide Squad ’s creepiest theatrical role .

It also explains a comparisonAyermade today , likeninghis director ’s cut ofSuicide Squadto 2019’sJoker . The Todd Phillips film was both critically acclaimed and extremely morose , with Joaquin Phoenix gain ground an Oscar for his performance . Ayer began his comparability by discussing a scene that was reshot for being " too colored , " calling Joker " terrifying . " He then followed this up by tell hisSuicide Squadwas like " if Todd Phillips filmThe Jokerwas reshot and recut because it was too dark — This is EXACTLY what happened toSuicide Squad . "
ThoughJokeris a standaloneand not part of the DC Extended Universe , Ayer ’s comparison makes sense . Not only does past grounds from the director prove the darkness of the original cut , so does the increased presence of Joker . As find out in Phillips ' film , Joker is capable of extremely dark acts , so it makes sense that more of him in Ayer ’s pic would lead to a darker tone . It ’s interesting that Warner Bros. had no problem with the wickedness ofJoker , but did take issue with Ayer ’s imaginativeness .
It ’s possible - or even potential -Suicide Squad ’s role in the DCEUwas a cistron . Movies that are part of a bragging franchise typically have more rule and limitations so they act cohesively with the relief of the serial . Though Warner Bros. and DC were n’t cracking on Ayer ’s visual sense forSuicide Squadat the time , it does n’t signify fans will never see his gash .
