While experimenting with his hardcore method acting ways of capturing the essence of his characters, specifically The Joker’s insanity this time around, Jared Leto reportedly presented his co-star Margot Robbie (playing Mistah J’s equally batshit crazy girlfriend Harley Quinn) with a rat, as a gift.
Well, since June that rat has been living with Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro (“The rat is living with us in Toronto and he, and his massive ballsack, provide the house with great cheer and joy!”, who has tweeted a new image of the little critter, now named Venustiano.

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
