The December issue of Empire Magazine will feature Hollywood actor Jared Leto as the Joker. In anticipation for the upcoming DC comic book film 'Suicide Squad,' the actor will fill the publication's pages with images and a story that describes his psychotic character.
The eerie cover photo has been released to give the public a taste of what the issue will contain. It features Jared Leto as the Joker, wearing a leather purple trench coat that covers his shirtless body. The actor also pulls off slicked back, green hair and dons pants that are adorned with an 'Arkham Asylum' logo. The entire image portrays exactly what comic book fans want to see -- an insanely creepy man known as the 'Clown Prince of Crime.'
The magazine will feature one of the first interviews with Jared Leto where he actually discusses his role as the Joker, in deeper detail than ever before.
