Ever since he was cast as the Joker, everyone has been dying to know what Jared Leto's makeup will look like. After all, Heath Ledger's Joker was one of the best comic book performances of all time, and fans want to see if Leto will measure up.

Of course, part of that will be determined by his look; while Heath Ledger's Joker was a grim, gritty interpretation of the character, fans have no idea if Leto's version will fall in line with recent comics or follow in Ledger's footsteps.

For the past few weeks, Leto has been teasing his transformation over social media: pictures of the actor's new haircut have been circulating for a few days, and teases about makeup have been making the rounds ... but nothing really concrete has been shown.

DC probably wanted to wait for the first trailer to reveal the character ... but, in the days of the Internet, nothing ever really works out like that.

An image of Leto, captured from Snapchat, was discovered by the Italian website BadTaste:

While it's true that this is the best look that fans have gotten at Leto's version of the Joker, it's important to note that this clearly isn't the final version of the costume. There's no white makeup and it's certainly not the most flattering angle.

It's no surprise that the original video was quickly taken down, and it's likely that Leto's Snapchat was never meant to go public. This is the sort of thing that DC will shut down immediately, but this is the Internet: a screenshot was taken and began circulating almost immediately.

Let's be honest, it's almost impossible to figure out what Leto will look like in the film from this picture alone. Then again, that's exactly the sort of thing Photoshop is for.

Perhaps fans should just wait for the trailer. Suicide Squad is set to hit theaters on Aug. 5, 2016.
