If you haven't already seen this, here is a casting update for this movie with Jared Leto indeed announced as the Joker: Big casting news emerged on Tuesday as Warner Bros. announced the list of stars joining the "Suicide Squad."
Will Smith, Tom Hardy, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Cara Delevingne and Jai Courtney will make up the big screen version of the "Suicide Squad" film, based on the characters from DC Comics.
It's Will who takes on the role of Deadshot. Tom will play Rick Flagg, Margot portrays Harley Quinn, Jared will be the Joker, Cara is Enchantress and Jai plays Boomerang.

David Ayer ("Fury") is writing the script and directing the pic, which is due for release on August 5, 2016.Not a bad cast. I'm not sure on Smith as Deadshot, but that character is a must and I do like Smith... |

What I see here is that DC isn't using the Marvel model of keeping their media universe tight.
Whereas Marvel ties all of their stuff together between TV and movies and uses the same actors, DC looks like they won't be doing this.
Deadshot has already been on Arrow, Boomerang looks like he'll be on the next episode. Will these be the same characters as in the movies? Will Flash and Arrow be the same actors? Will they keep the continuity between the big and small screen? It doesn't look like it.
While I don't think DC is making some huge mistake, I believe a lot of Marvel's success stems from how they weave all of their projects together. Their studio is also dedicated exclusively to Marvel and has a consistent release schedule etc.
DC just doesn't seem to be as coordinated as Marvel and without a unified vision, I think the product will be inferior to their competition.

Warner Brothers has already announced a different actor for The Flash in the films which I think is a huge mistake. Arrow has a huge following, it spawned The Flash which is getting a great following. Use both of those actors in the movies.

I was glad to see Killer Croc is also going to be in this movie.

I'm really not liking the look of the majority of the characters in this movie.
