I adore heath Ledger's take on the Joker, but his interpretation of the character wasn't directly inspired from the cartoons or comics. From my understanding, Jared Leto is aiming for something more chaotic and manic, which is closer to the 'original joker' (whatever that means). The new Batman movie obviously has different writers and directors from the Dark Knight and cartoons. So it's expected that this character still won't come off as something that familiar to the fans.
After all of this is said and done, what really matters is how the character fits with the context of the movie.
