Heart and soul
prevnextTicks me off how they misused Jared Leto and then continue on with the franchise as if he didn't pour his soul and heart into his character. That's Hollywood for you, though. Gotta love them politics. 🙄 #LostInHollywood https://t.co/jUmU6M3CYf

Offering a creative solution
Not everybody is entirely upset -- in fact, here: this person offers a solution for the issue.
prevnextWhile I am firmly against Leto getting work or paid, I am ALSO in favor of having the opening 90 seconds of The Suicide Squad being his Joker's death.

But The Joker, Right?
Then there was a variant: maybe Leto's absence is OK, but you DEFINITELY need The Joker.
prevnextWho’s playing the Joker? No Joker is a no go for me.

I'm Out
...And of course, there's ComicBook.com's own distinguished Brandon Davis, whose take is, basically, that Leto wanted out:
