David Ayer regrets the tattoo he gave Jared Leto's Joker – you know the one – in 2016's Suicide Squad.
In response to a fan on Twitter, the Suicide Squad director put his hands up to the creative misstep that was the tattoo that literally said 'damaged' on Joker's forehead.
"I own the tattoo idea 100% It was my choice," Ayer wrote, before revealing there was an alternate bit of ink that almost made its way onto the Clown Prince of Crime.
"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 slaps me around for this post."
As acclaimed author-slash-dreamweaver Garth Marenghi once said, "I know writers who use subtext and they're all cowards."
