“Suicide Squad” director David Ayer freaked the Internet out earlier this week when he released the first photo of Jared Leto‘s version of the Joker as he appears in the film.

Leto will have some pretty big shoes to fill though, considering the Jokers who have come before him: Heath Ledger and especially the original Joker Jack Nicholson.

Watch here:
The video is an edited scene from Nicholson’s 2002 movie “About Schmidt,” and we can honestly see Jack reacting like this for real.
Here’s the original clip:
