Zack Snyder explains why he brought back Jared Leto’s Joker for his Justice League cut

"It seemed uncool to me that we would make it all the way through this incarnation of Batman and Joker without seeing them come together."

At the weekend, the first official trailer for the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League dropped, filled with all the ridiculous over-the-top imagery that you'd expect from the director. The scene that got everyone talking though was the face-off between Ben Affleck's Batman, and Jared Leto's Joker. After the failure of the original version of Justice League, it looked like those two versions of the characters would never meet - especially when Joaquin Phoenix starred in Joker and Robert Pattinson was cast in the new Batman film. But then it was announced that Zack Snyder was brining back Leto's version of the Clown Prince of Crime for at least one scene in his new version of Justice League. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Snyder has explained his decision to resurrection the controversial take on the character. "The cool thing about the scene is that it’s Joker talking directly to Batman about Batman," said the director. "It’s Joker analysing Batman about who he is and what he is."
