Going by Twitter reaction, even Heath Ledger's fans are impressed by Jared Leto's new look as Joker, especially after fans didn't quite like his portrayal of Joker in Suicide Squad. Take a look at how fans reacted to this.?

Epic battle between Batman and Joker

Talking about Justice League, Zack Snyder explained what will be the importance of this character in his version of the film. He said that Leto will be part of a "dream sequence" and "psychic vision" experienced by Ben Affleck's Batman.

"The cool thing about the scene is that its Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman. It’s Joker analyzing Batman about who he is and what he is. That’s the thing I also felt like fans deserved from the DC Universe. That is to say, the Jared Leto Joker and the?Ben Affleck?Batman, they never really got together. It seemed uncool to me that we would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together," Zack had earlier told Variety.

On being quizzed about Joker's changed look and how he shed his tattoos, Snyder replied, “I don’t know if he’s wearing makeup, I don’t know what’s happening. It’s hard to say exactly.”?

For the unversed, Ben Affleck will be playing the character of Batman in the venture. Zack Snyder’s Cut of Justice League will be released on March 18.?
