There is no Jared, only Joker.

The latest trailer for Suicide Squad dropped last week, prompting further fan freakouts, frame-by-frame breakdowns and Hot Topic CEO hand-rubbing.

But the main focus throughout the marketing campaign has been on Jared Leto's portrayl of The Joker, director David Ayer constantly praising his dedicated take on the character, and its frightening qualities.

It really made an event when he would show up on set. There was almost a pageantry to him, which did translate into the power on screen he has.

Indeed.

But while David is completely serious in his belief in Jared's villainy, tumblr went a different way...

And thus, the first great meme of 2016 was born.
