I’ve never been a big fan of HELENA, but this peeked my curiosity.  It’s nicely drawn and seems well written. Perfect Combo. Maybe I will pick up an issue and give her a try…

detective2preview-01I was fortunate enough to stumble into a short preview of the upcoming DETECTIVE  COMICS #2. Here are just a few scans since DC granted the full preview to MTV.  Complete link to the full preview can be found below this pics.  Enjoy, Jokerholics!

In this issue:  Batman sets his sights on the Gotham Ripper, who in turn has his sights on
Batman. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne explores a budding romance with television
journalist Charlotte Rivers, who’s visiting Gotham City to cover the gruesome
slayings–while also trying to uncover Bruce’s own mystery. But time is running
out as both Commissioner Gordon and Batman work to uncover the true identity of
this new serial killer.

For the complete preview please visit MTV GEEK/MTV. COM

Gabrielle Dell’Otto has been one of my favorite European artists for a long time.  His artistic introduction into the US was made with Marvel’s SECRET WAR along with multiple covers for both Marvel and DC.  Though I have collected his art for years (very hard to get a hold of his European art, btw), I haven’t been able to find a Joker-only piece by him…until recently and this compositon is just incredible.  I stumbled into this beauty at Deviantart, where it was posted by KIOMANDO.  Hope you like it.

Artist: Gabrielle Dell’otto (original Joker sketch below)          Inker: Danny Miki

This is a nice gesture of Gamestop to gives us a hint of as to what the Joker’s Carnival map is going to be all about.  It  promises to be a bunch of fun (and the only reasy I bought Arkham City from them). Remember, the map is only available if you preorder the game and we are less than a month apart from the release, so hurry. Here is a preview:

Oh, and don’t forget.  For those fans that PREORDER the game and are members of Gamestop’s POWERUP REWARDS club, the bonus Batman the Animated Series skin is included in the package.  Other skins will be available  in the US with time according to Rocksteady’s marketing department.

Hey Jokerholics,

Our friends at MTV UK, have gotten hold of Jokerdom gold!  They have the brand new ARKHAM CITY JOKER TRAILER and are sharing it with the world at their site.  I saw it and my jaw dropped. In one word, magnificent. Mark Hamill once more steals the show giving us a wonderful and at the same time terrifying view of our favorite psychopath.

Just click on the image and you will be automatically transported to their site.

YEP!!! Another great video by LorJazor impersonating our favorite psycopath.  Who knew Joker could sing so…beautifully? HEH HEH.  Anyways, this is Joker/LordJazor’s version of the classic Little mermaid song you’ll recognized is just amazing. Please enjoy and leave a comment if you like it. To LordJazor…keep up the good work.

I am a great a fan of LorJazor.  The similarities of his voice and Mark Hamill’s are just creepy, and not only that.  LorJazor can really act with his voice, making his Joker dubbings realistic and very entertaining.  I found recently his version of one of the earliest scenes from the Killing Joke and wanted to share it all with you.  Hope you like it as much as I did.

Man, I wish I could commission him to make a dub of the entire Killing Joke or even the Joker GN. I will kill to own such a masterpiece. They could even become classics…what you think?

I know I had mentioned this before in my SDCC reports when I was left speechless by SIDESHOW’S  new high quality Joker figure to be released next year (read the post HERE). Well, back then Sideshow didn’t have a release date and my pictures were not professional quality, but they have updated their info and their pictures.  This is the new info:

SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE EDITION PREMIUM JOKER FIGURE:

  • Limited to 1250 pieces
  • Released somewhere in second quarter of 2012
  • Launching Sideshow’s all-new line of DC Comics Collectibles is The Joker Premium Format Figure, presenting the maniacal archenemy of Batman in stunning detail. Each piece is individually painted and finished to exacting standards, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product. Captured in approximately 1:4 scale, with an intricate real fabric costume that features a fully lined topcoat with pose-able tails, The Joker Premium Format Figure is an outstanding addition to any display, the perfect beginning to Sideshow’s DC collection.
