How Will Leto’s Joker Differ From Ledger’s?
A new rumor claims to explain how Oscar winner Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad will differ from past screen portrayals of the Clown Prince of Crime.
“Jared wants to make sure his Joker is not only something the fans will love, but he doesn’t want to step on the toes of Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger,” according to a purported inside source for Hollywood Life.
“He wants to make the character completely his own. ... He knows that this role may be his most difficult ever, but he is confident that he will make his version of the Joker the best. This Joker will be more cerebral and comedic than what we have seen before, nobody should expect a copycat version. It’s going to be awesome!"
Dishonored on PS Plus is Coming in April, Not March
Sony has revealed Dishonored will be a PlayStation Plus offering for members in April.
"Dishonored is coming to PlayStation Plus (PS3) in April," says the official Europe PlayStation Blog Twitter account. "Sorry for the confusion this month - we pulled the trigger too early!"
A previous mix-up led to Dishonored's status as a PS Plus game being announced a tad prematurely, leading to some confusion as to whether or not it would be on offer in March.
Instead, Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty on PlayStation 4, Papo & Yo and Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments on PlayStation 3, and OlliOlli2: Welcome to OlliWood and Counterspy are available on the PlayStation Vita in March for all PS Plus members.

Gotham: One Character May Not Return for Season 2
Spoilers for those who don't want to know who's leaving Gotham at the end of the season...
Given the large ensemble that FOX's Gotham has, it's not hard to imagine characters getting bumped off. But then when you factor in that a majority of them need to survive because they're important players in Batman's future saga, the kill list gets a bit smaller.
Jada Pinkett Smith, who plays non-comic book character Fish Mooney, recently appeared on Live with Kelly and Michael and when asked if she'd be back next season, the actress replied "I don't think so."
“I signed for a year and the year’s up,” she said. You can head over to The Wrap to see the video clip.
