'Suicide Squad' Release Date, News & Update: Jared Leto is Totally Down for a Joker VS Superman Battle

Warner Bros.' "Suicide Squad" has earned praise from those who have actually seen the David Ayer-directed film. But the same cannot be said for the critics who have stamped a mediocre rating on it. So much buzz surrounds Rotten Tomatoes' 26% rating on the movie, which praises its talented cast but calls the plot "muddled," and "thinly written."

Outside of such ratings, the cast continues to promote the film, which has in fact, officially earned more than the 2000 film "X-Men," "Breaking Dawn," "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," and "Eclipse" so far. "Suicide Squad" opened on the fifth, and according to Forbes, it has now nearing the five-day total earnings for "Deadpool." If this is any indication, it seems that the ratings are actually helping the movie earn money, not lose it.

Meanwhile, "Suicide Squad" star Jared Leto is busy promoting the film, and it seems that the actor is interested in collaborating with another DC superhero. IGN reports that the 44-year old is totally down for a Joker VS Superman battle. He said that it would be interesting to see both characters interact with each other solely because of their moral beliefs.

According to Leto, Superman is "so stoic and morally centered," something which the Crown Prince of Crime would thoroughly enjoy. He said, "Superman is just the classic hero and the Joker opposite to any classic hero would be really interesting."

In other "Suicide Squad" news, it seems that Ayer is in the receiving end of backlash from Yolandi Visser from the South African rap duo Die Antwoord, who claims that the director copied their aesthetic for Joker and Harley Quinn. She took to Instagram to blast the director, who he accused of talking about the band on set, but never really formally asking the duo permission to use them as inspiration for both Joker and Harley Quinn's looks, the N.Y. Daily News reports.
