Sounds like they had a blast making the movie!

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje received sticky Playboy magazines. Then, as a horrible denouement, Leto sent the rest of the cast anal beads and used condoms.

‘‘I did a lot of things to create a dynamic to create an element of surprise, a spontaneity and to really break down any kind of walls that may be there,’’ Leto told E! News. ‘‘The Joker is somebody who doesn’t really respect things like personal space or boundaries.’’

That still wasn’t enough for Ayer, who told Yahoo! Movies that he forced his cast into fist fights with each other.

‘‘The rehearsal was very intense,’’ Ayer said. ‘‘It wasn’t a normal rehearsal, we’d talk about their lives, their history, and really got them to open up as people to each other. I also had them fight. I had them fight each other. You learn a lot about who a person really is when you punch them in the face. It gets rid of a lot of the actor stuff.’’

It wasn’t all fighting. According to Cara Delevingne, who plays Dr. June Moone, Ayer specifically asked her to walk into the woods and strip naked if there was a full moon. She told W magazine that’s exactly what she did.

Jai Courtney, meanwhile, who plays a character named Boomerang, told Empire that he took mushrooms and proceeded to stub lit cigarettes out on his arms during a Skype video call with Ayer. And, according to io9, Akinnuoye-Agbaje spent his time in make-up listening to tapes of Issei Sagawa, a Japanese man known for killing and eating a Dutch woman in Paris in 1981.
