We've finally been given our first good look at Jared Leto's newly redesigned Joker in the forthcoming movie Zack Snyder's Justice League, after new stills were shared on Instagram today.
Taking to social media, the associate producer wrote: "Two brand new stills of Jared Leto's Joker in Zack Snyder's Justice League! #SnyderCut #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague."

Fans were clearly thrilled by the snippet, with one speculating: "No 'damaged' tats or noticeable grills & a bloody mouth...looking like a flashback to pre suicide squad in Arkham to me."
Another added: "I cannot wait for this movie. Eager to see Jared Leto's Joker role in the movie, and what has been revealed of his plan sounds extraordinary.
"Zack Snyder's Justice League is going to be great. Good use of 4 hours. Great work Zack, and thank you. Long Live The Snyderverse!"
Someone else asked: "Is this end of Joker?" While another commented: "Help me pick my jaw from the floor, that's really something... I'm soo happy."

The 240-minute Zack Snyder's Justice League is an extended cut of the 2017 film, which suffered a difficult production after Snyder stepped down from the project following the death of his daughter.
At the time, he said: "In the last two months, I've decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I'm having a hard time."
He went on to add: "When it became obvious that I needed to take a break, I knew there would be narratives created on the internet. They'll do what they do. The truth is I'm past caring about that kind of thing now."
Joss Whedon took over in his place and, after a box-office disappointment and average reviews, fans petitioned for an alternate cut more faithful to Snyder's original vision - which Warner Bros decided to go ahead with.
In May 2020, Snyder announced a new cut of the film would be released as Zack Snyder's Justice League.
A press release from Wonderland Restaurants, promoting its new Wonderland at Home launch, said: "Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere on the 18th March and will drop on HBO Max in the US with UK release plans to follow."
