Ben Affleck Says Jared Leto Is A Genius As The Joker

Last night, Amy Adams, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Gal Gadot, Holly Hunter and director Zack Snyder all appeared on Conan O'Brien's late night talk show for a special Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice episode.

Near the end of it, Conan asked Ben Affleck to share his thoughts on Jared Leto's version of The Joker, since they filmed scenes together for David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie. Affleck wouldn't go into details but did provide plenty of praise for the Oscar-winning actor.

Conan: I've got to ask Ben, because Ben shot scenes for Suicide Squad, highly anticipated. You've seen several people play the joker. Any comments on his performance?

Ben: I think Jared Leto was a genius but I'm bound by more confidentiality agreements than you can shake a stick at. I'm just going about my business.

Conan: I'm not asking you to disclose anything other than --

Ben: He's brilliant. Masterful. Brilliant, brilliant guy.

Suicide Squad is set to be released August 5, 2016.
