Looking back on the 2016 DC film “Suicide Squad,” director David Ayer is shedding light on a creative decision that has lingered as a source of remorse.

The movie featured Jared Leto’s portrayal of the iconic supervillain Joker, a role that stirred up its own controversy due to a distinctive feature – the word “damaged” tattooed boldly across the character’s forehead. In a candid revelation, Ayer shares his reflections on this divisive idea that he introduced.

The Tattoo That Sparked Controversy

The “damaged” tattoo etched onto the Joker’s forehead was an idea originally conceived by Ayer himself. Admitting full ownership of the concept, he expresses candidly, “I own the tattoo idea 100%. It was my choice.”

However, a striking twist lies in the revelation that the initial plan for the ink was entirely different. Ayer discloses, “Original idea is it would say ‘Blessed’ and not ‘Damaged.'”

I own the tattoo idea 100%

It was my choice. Original idea is it would say “Blessed” and not “Damaged”

Now having said that — I regret that decision. It created acrimony and division.

Not every idea is a good idea.

And I’ll just be in the corner here while the internet… https://t.co/8no7KQy1Oe

Addressing the unexpected aftermath of this creative choice, Ayer voices his regret, acknowledging the rift it created among fans and critics. He reflects, “Now having said that — I regret that decision. It created acrimony and division. Not every idea is a good idea. And I’ll just be in the corner here while the internet slaps me around for this post.”

A Glimpse into the Unseen

In addition to this tattoo revelation, Ayer has recently hinted at the possibility of his own version of the film emerging. With characters like Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, Will Smith’s Deadshot, and Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller, his cut of the movie could eventually see the light of day.

What’s your advice on how to navigate this situation with grace? There’s a genuine curiosity and interest from a lot of people. And I’m aware of there is another group of people that have fun mocking the film. Your comment is a perfect example of how many are magnetically drawn… https://t.co/QZTZGUInAS

Ayer shares his thoughts, stating, “There’s a genuine curiosity and interest from a lot of people. And I’m aware of there is another group of people that have fun mocking the film.” He adds a personal touch, reflecting on life’s unexpected turns, “Have you ever had an experience in life that didn’t turn out the way you wanted, that dragged you, that made you rethink everything? I have.”

Navigating the Director’s Journey

Ayer acknowledges the stark difference between his unseen version of the film and the one released by the studio. While expressing his belief in the authenticity of the interest surrounding his cut, he mentions that James Gunn assured him his time will come to share it.

Yet, Ayer also recognizes the importance of allowing Gunn to shape his own vision for the DC universe. He concludes with a contemplative note, “In a way I’m chained to this thing. I’m riding a tiger here and navigating this situation the best I can. Life is a very strange journey.”

As Ayer’s reflections shine a spotlight on the intricacies of creative decisions and their impact, fans and critics alike await the unfolding saga, a blend of artistry, regret, and the unpredictable path of artistic endeavor.
