Our good friends at GOTHAM SPOILERS were able to get some pencils for the upcoming Batman #13 that mark the Joker’s return in the story arc “DEATH OF THE FAMILY”. Here are some of the nice scans…
(Pictures courtesy of GOTHAMSPOILERS.COM. For more scans visit the site.)
Also in November some (previously only) Digital comics featuring the Clown Prince of Crime go to print. (As if we didn’t already have enough clown….Hey I’m not complaining. The more, the merrier!)
BATMAN ARKHAM CITY: ENDGAME
I read the whole story and I give it my two thumbs up. The art is kind of sloppy and the same time somewhat Sienckiewiczesque…weird combination and a nice try. I think it is a great way to end the story started in the videogames
You can see a preview of this issue in my past post HERE
BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT #2
This one I also read completely and in my opinion, more could have been done with the story. It left me asking for a little more development, and improved characterizations, and the art looks in my opinion, really unfinished and amateurish.
The Joker has a nefarious plan that involves brainwashing the wealthy and elite of Gotham City and convincing them they’re Batman–to murderous effect!
Following the upcoming Joker return to BATMAN, I bring to you DC Comic’s November issues that tie in to the whole story arc:
Cover to Catwoman #14
Cover to Suicide Squad #14
Cover to Batman and Robin #14
When I read this, I didn’t know what to make of it. So those pics out there (and that you can see in one of my previous posts) not the final product? Of course no…they are probably a marketing gimmick to keep the fans speculating in the hopes that it will increase the sales. Who knows, but DC? ME…I will wait for the final product and then emit the final verdict (after all I was not too fond of the face peeling at the beggining, until I imagined the possibilities). I just want to bring you the point of view from everybody involved with the Joker reboot.
Now the turn goes to Greg Capullo himself who was upset with the leakage of (supposed) images from BATMAN #14 and BATGIRL #14. Listen to him…
Apparently, though, fan-favorite Batman artist Greg Capullo wasn’t particularly happy with even that much leaking, and took to his Twitter page to vent his frustration and to promise fans a more memorable, terrifying vision of The Joker when his interpretation of the character, appearing in the Scott Snyder-written Batman book, appears in the context of the story.
Says Capullo:
“As careful as I’ve been to save revealing our new Joker, the powers that be have let it out ahead if our book. Stay tuned fir MY pics.
“In my younger days, I’d have punched several holes in the walls of my office by now. Rest assured, I will give you terror when I draw him.
“When I draw it, THAT will be it.
“Try not to look at it. Wait for ours if you can.
“The more I’ve thought about the Joker leak, the more I began thinking that it may have been for the best. The fact is, the way Scott and I.. will give you the Joker may have been too much for some with out this diluted sample hitting the web. DC, rightly so, had concerns about- Our images and story. Perhaps they leaked this intentionally to test the waters or to acclimate your minds to what is coming from us.
“Team Batman knows how to do one thing. Destroy. So, even if you do see the leak, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Trust me.
“I’m still not going to reveal my sketches. I won’t let this incident blow the whole works. Be patient. Terror is heading your way.”

I found this incredible piece of art in BLOODYDISGUSTING.COM (Besides their namesake, this site is dedicated to movies, comics, music and videogame industry), and felt like I had to share it with you guys.
It’s made with LENTICULAR LEGOS which is the first time I hear about them (I am one of the few that has never played with legos until now), but apparently this pieces, once assembled allow you to have two simultaneous images made, each one visible depending on the angle you move the whole mosaic.
This one is an image of Batman that slowly transforms into his nemesis the Joker and the artist is ARTHUR GUGICK and you can enjoy more of his art HERE. Don’t forget to watch the video underneath to enjoy the magic of this art:

Jock is going to be the back up artist for the Joker story arc in Batman #13-16 and he tweeted this image to BLEEDING COOL who were nice enough to share it with the world. Million thanks to COMICS XAMINER.COM for sharing this pic
The covers for the November issues of BATMAN #14 and BATGIRL #14 have been circulating for the last few days, allowing for a little tease for the fans of the Clown Prince of Crime. While many people thought that DC was trying to bring Joker to his TDK look, the images show something different entirely…and the one for Batgirl makes me wonder if he has some unfinished business in mind with Barbara Gordon after The Killing Joke. Anyways…Here are the previews:
BATMAN #14: Joker ia getting ready for business…
BATGIRL #14 : Who ever said that Joker was not a romantic?

For those of you that are not following comics, I remind you that Joker will be coming back to Gotham and the DC Universe this next October. I knew they would do something in BATMAN #0, to tease the fans a little of what was to come, but was not expecting the back story on this month’s DETECTIVE COMICS #12… It seems Joker is not only ready to rock and roll, but that our good old Lieutenant Bullock has develop a perverted sense of humor…didn’t see THAT one coming. Bullock never hit me as a joker…no pun intended.
For you I will share the pages of back story, you guys let me know what you think. Personally, I will wait until I see what they have in store for my clown. It’s not the first time I’ve been disappointed by those pesky DC editors:
I went to pick up my comics and found my Kai Harley and my special edition DKR chesspieces were here along with my TDK trilogy book.had arrived.. I was in geek heaven!

HeyJokerholics,
The new trailer of the upcoming DC animated film DARK KNIGHT RETURNS has arrived from our friends at MTV and is not less than amazing. Don’t know how much of the plot they had to “tweak” to fit into the animated version, but I can see that they tried to keep the original Frank Miller style with the art. Also the art on the BD/DVD is killer….take a look at the trailer and give me your opinion..
Oh, and pay attention to the 1:16 minute mark on the video. Someone is smiling at you, darling!
(Expect part 2 to be availble sometime in early 2013)
