Jared Leto’s new Joker has left Jack Nicholson speechless.

As this new “reaction video” shows, the former Joker actor can only cry as he sees Leto carry the torch as the cinema’s new Clown Prince of Crime. Indeed, Nicholson almost looks wistful in his reaction, longing for the days when people called him Mr. J. But don’t worry, Jack. You’re an Academy Award winner too, and people still love your Joker.
The video, of course, is taken from a scene in Nicholson’s old movie “About Schmidt?” By photoshopping Leto’s picture over whatever the movie’s original document displayed, the video gives a humorous theory on how Nicholson might have reacted to Leto’s big reveal.
But if this is Nicholson’s reaction now, we can only wonder how he’ll compose himself when Suicide Squad, Leto’s big Joker debut, hits theaters on August 5, 2016.
