The Justice League Snyder Cut trailer dropped recently and it has sent fans into a frenzy in anticipation of the film which will be coming out on 18th March on HBO Max. There were many amazing moments in the trailer but one scene at the end stood out the most. Jared Leto's Joker is talking to Batman and says, ''We live in a society, where honor is a distant memory.” Fans believe this has been inspired originally from the 'We live in a society meme'.
We Live in a Society Meme
credit where credit's due: having Leto Joker actually say "we live in a society" in that trailer is some grade-A trolling and I respect it

The phrase 'we live in a society' has been around for approximately three decades. The phrase originally came from Jerry Seinfeld's superhit self-titled show Seinfeld in the early 90s and has stuck around since them. After it became popularised through the show, the phrase began to be used as an internet term on online message boards, forums and across Reddit.
Then the age of Instagram arrived and with it millions of weird, edgy motivational quotes posted along with photos of superheroes. A lot of users often posted edgy quotes with a Joker photo and the most popular quote by far was, 'We live in a society'. That's how a phrase that came from a 90s comedy show ended up associated with the Joker. Take a look at this Instagram post below and you'll understand the kind of posts being referred to.
To this day, however, that phrase has never been used by the Joker in the comics or the movies, until now. This could just be director Zack Snyder trolling the fans or it could end up having a deeper meaning to the plot of the film. This is going to be a chance for redemption for Jared Leto's Joker. Fans had hated his Joker from suicide squad and he will be looking to create his own mark on the Jokers character, the way Joaquin Phoenix and Heath Ledger have.
