In "American Psycho" (2000), we see lead actor Christian Bale take his famous method acting to the extreme when he actually murders Jared Leto on set. This is why in "Suicide Squad" (2016) the role of The Joker is portrayed by a talentless clone of Leto rather than the actor himself.

Joker Actor Jared Leto Reportedly Feels He Was 'Tricked' Into Suicide Squad
This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 22%.
Suicide Squad star Jared Leto feels as though he was "Tricked" into taking on the role of Joker in Warner Bros.' new comic book film, according to a recent report. The actor, who's also the lead singer of Thirty Seconds to Mars, shared a few thoughts on his role during a Q&A session at Camp Mars-an event Leto posted about on both Instagram and Twitter. According to a summary provided by a Leto fansite on Tumblr, Leto is said to have felt "Sort of tricked into being a part of something that had been pitched to him very differently." According to the report, Leto said he thought it would be a more artistic production and was "Overwhelmed by all the hate regarding the look and choices." He also said he hasn't yet seen the film after being disappointed to hear what did and didn't make it into the theatrical cut. Leto also confirmed that his contract for Suicide Squad prohibited him from doing various dangerous activities that he enjoys, like rock climbing. While the theatrical release doesn't feature very much of Leto as the green-haired villain, the actor said he shot enough Joker material for a whole movie.

Jared Leto starring as the Joker in "Suicide Squad" & Why Actors Who Play the Joker Could Be At Risk
We all know Heath Ledger died after playing the Joker. They always said he got way too into the role, losing himself in it WHILE ALSO being drugged!...
Matt Reeves The Batman is secretly Plan B for the DCEU.
So it was recently revealed by WB president Walter Hamarda, that there will be multiple Batman movies from different actors, with Matt Reeves Batman being separate from the main DCEU, in Earth 2, which I find odd because if DCEU and Arrowverse are set in the same Multiverse like the Crisis special implied, then I thought there already was an Earth 2? But, in any case this is what they said. But personally, I think it's BS. Not saying he's lying, it could very well be the case, but I personally think this is all a cover up, & that ladies and Gentlemen, that I am purposing today, is that Matt Reeves & Robert Pattinson's The Batman is secretly Plan B, in the event that Flashpoint bombs & they have to start everything all over again. If Flashpoint doesn't bomb and does well, then The Batman will remain it's on thing, under both the DC Black & DC Elseworlds Labels, but if Flashpoint bombs, then they will have that be the last film in the DCEU & restart from scratch, using Matt Reeves The Batman as there starting point. So what evidence I have for this secretly being the case, instead of the alternative, that it will really be it's own thing. Evidence:
It feels very odd that they are having two Batman run around on the big screen at the same time. Like in DCEU Post-Flashpoint, you will have Michael Keaton's Batman/Bruce Wayne, & then you will have another Batman in Battinson running around on Earth 2. Wouldn't that be a little bit confusing.
It feels weird how they are building this up and hyping this up as if it was the beginning of something bigger. Joker was hyped up to but not to the same extent, & it was also under the DC Black Label.
The Batman is getting a Gotham PD spin-off.
Extras for a Halloween party scene have been seen wearing costumes for Superman, Cheetah, & Wonder Woman.
I feel what they plan with Flashpoint & the DCEU moving forward is extremely risky, & I think the people at DC know this too. Like seriously, you know how risky this will be, having Keaton as the main Batman? So I think they may want Battinson around in the event that Flashpoint bombs & this Risky move was all for nothing.
Not to mention Battinson movie feels like the start of something bigger.
So, yeah, that's my evidence for why The Batman could be Plan B, but if this is the case, what will happen to Aquaman, Wonder Woman, & Harley Quinn? I mean Shazam! & Black Adam can easily be retrofitted into the new DC Universe, & Henry Cavil will probably be recasted as Superman (perhaps Michael B. Jordan?) if this happens, but what about Arthur, & Diana, & Harley? Well I see three scenarios:
They will let James Wan & Patty Jenkins finish there respective trilogies before they transition those two characters into the new universe, & fast track the last two Harley Quinn movies in her trilogy (Gotham City Sirens & if rumors were led to believe, some sort of Joker vs Harley Quinn movie), with the Suicide Squad from James Gunn being the last Suicide Squad movie of this universe.
They will try to retrofit Jason Mamoa's Aquaman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, & Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn into the main new DC timeline.
WB, AT&T, & DC will all just say screw it, cancel James Wan & Patty Jenkins respective trilogies before even letting them end & restart Aquaman & Wonder Woman from scratch, & get a blonde white actor in his early 20's to play Aquaman, with him having the comic book accurate costume from the beginning or have costume that's more closer to a amalgamation of his Injustice 2 attire & JL: Unlimited attire with the hook for a hand & everything, & get either a white, Raven black haired actress, a actual Greek actress, or a Brazilian actress in her early to mid 20's to play Wonder Woman, with Diana already superheroing by the time the universe starts, however she is not immortal to differentiate her from the Gal Gadot version, she would probably look like a mix between the more classic Pre-New 52 Wonder Woman & the most recent from of Wonder Woman in terms of inspiration. & then just keep Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn but explain it's a separate Harley in a separate continuity. Maybe have her make a joke about how she is in a new universe but can't remember anything from the old one or something (since she's basically Deadpool now).
Jared Leto is actually a really good actor and it’s not his fault $uicude squad sucked
He was amazing in lord of war. The man can act. $uicide squad sucked because the script was terrible and the studio chose a risky take on a classic character. If he did a carbon copy mark hamil joker the move still would have sucked. He really put so much effort into it and the studio fucked him over.
