arkhamoriginjoker01It’s been some time since I posted in this site, distracted by the responsabilities of the real world, but its time for some fun.  When ARKHAM CITY ORIGINS was first announced they said that the Joker was going to be younger and the image would be reinvented as the game was a prequel to the well known ARKHAM ASYLUM and ARKHAM ORIGINS.

They also confirmed that Mark Hamill would not be part of the cast since he had already retired and that the Joker’s voice was going to be given to a Troy Baker (that I have to confess, is an unknown to me, but from I have read in his resume…was well known in the anime world) I was dying to hear him and finally E3 2013 bring us one of the latest trailers of ORIGINS with Joker popping  in and sying one of his trademark phrases at the end of the trailer.

I was stunned.  The guy does a very close impersonation of Mark Hamill’s Joker.  Tone and pitch almost identical but with a very unique characteristic that adds youth and freshness to the character.  I like what I’ve heard so far, and the actual look in this ‘younger Joker’ keeps the the villain’s comic book image  original concept

Without any more delay, here is the trailer courtesy of E3 2013, COMMUNITY GAME and YouTUBE;  ENJOY!

NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!!

arkhamoriginsWB Montreal has announced the release of the ARKHAM ASYLUM/ CITY prequel titled ARKHAM ORIGINS.  According to the announcement,  WB Games Montreal is taking over Rocksteady for the development of this game and from the looks of it,  Paul Dini (who wrote the story for the previous games) is not attached to the project this time.

Sadly, rumors has it (from WB representative it seems)  that Mark Hamill might not return to reprise his Joker role this time.

Along with the first trailer, news of the voice cast for the game has dropped courtesy of IGN. A Warner Bros. spokesperson stated Roger Craig Smith has been confirmed as the voice of Batman, while Troy Baker is confirmed as the Joker. However, Conroy seemingly confirmed at Dallas Comic Con this weekend that he’s been working on the game for the last 10 months.

The game is announced to be released in OCTOBER 25, 2013 and you can already reserve your copy at your local game shop. Here is the trailer released by WB Montreal at the moment of the announcement:

First Look: INFINITY CRISIS Gaslight Joker

DC Comics is constantly teasing us with snippets of their new online game INFINITY CRISIS, and this time they give us a little preview of the GASLIGHT JOKER.   It really does not look anything like the Gotham by Gaslight Joker counterpart (Note:  Joker had a very small cameo in the graphic novel), but I guess that version did not addapt well to the game so they took some liberties with the character.  Take a look at this preview and tell me what you think:

Game play preview:

Universe of Origin: Gaslight

The prosperous Age of Invention’s most infamous serial killer, Gaslight Joker butchers his opponents with bloody cleaver and swarms of starving rats.

Word traveled through Gotham of a “Laughing Butcher” who, with a joke and smile, led unsuspecting street dwellers beneath his shop to feed his pet rats. Batman heard these tales and sought this butcher out. The butcher fled and, in his flight, plummeted into a vat of chemicals. His face bleached and frozen into a mad mocking grin, he was transformed into “the Joker”.

Gaslight Joker wades into fights with sweeping strikes of cleaver and ham, often followed by his “pets,” a ravenous swarm of starving rats

Looking at this one (though I would have preferred a larger pic and maybe more pics from other sources) I think Cesar Romero would be proud.  YES! it even has his famous painted over moustache…
