David Ayer, the director of 2016’s Suicide Squad, is looking back at the DC film and opening up about one of his creative decision regrets.
Jared Leto portrayed supervillain Joker in the comic book-based movie and his version of the character had the word “damaged” tattooed across his forehead, an idea that Ayer proposed.
“I own the tattoo idea 100%. It was my choice,” Ayer shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Original idea is it would say ‘Blessed’ and not ‘Damaged.'”

He continued, “All I know is my unseen film plays much better than the studio
