Joker And Harley Waltz

Recommended Videos

Yeah, sure, Suicide Squad had its (numerous) faults and blunders, but it did provide us with an iconic scene: Joker and Harley in their Sunday best as they waltzed in a wonderful tribute to the legendary Alex Ross cover. While it was more fan service than an actual advancement of the plot (if there even was one in the first place), it made longtime fans geek out for that second or two.

Not only did we get to see Harley in her traditional jester outfit, but her beau looked rather spiffy in his dashing attire as well. With most of his stupid tattoos covered up, Jared Leto’s Joker was the epitome of panache in black and white, evoking memories of the well-dressed villain of years past. It sort of makes you wonder why this getup wasn’t the inspiration for the whole film, rather than his Lil Wayne couture…

Nonetheless, Suicide Squad did give us this classic moment, and for that, we should be forever grateful.

Tell us, which is your favorite Joker moment of the past 77 years? Did we leave out any special ones? As always, please let us know in the comments section below.
