The 'Release The Ayer Cut' movement began shortly after the 2016 release of Suicide Squad, following reports that the theatrical version differed significantly from director David Ayer's original, darker vision. Inspired by the successful campaign for Zack Snyder's Justice League, fans use this meme to demand the unedited version of the movie, often highlighting deleted scenes featuring Jared Leto's Joker. It serves as a rallying cry against studio interference and has evolved into a symbol for creative freedom in Hollywood. The meme is frequently used on social media to pressure studio executives or to express hope for the restoration of the director's intended narrative.
