Here comes a very well accomplished realistic portrait of Joker’s henchwoman HARLEY QUINN as it was concieved and executed by artist ADMIRA WIJAYA. The version have ben based in Harley’s appearance in Arkham City game last year. I bow to Admira’s talent. Very nice pic and realism is beyond description. Hope you all Jokerholics and Harleyholics like it.

Froma a panel at SDCC 2013. This would definitely blow your mind…INCREDIBLE! Deserving heir to the Mark Hamill legacy.
I am definitely sold…He can do the Killing Joke any time if Mark Hamill is not available.

OK, make your selection guys, because the speecial Edition for the upcoming ARKHAM ORIGINS game scheduled for October 25th will come in two editions with dramatic difference in contents.
First the UK ARKHAM ORIGINS SPECIAL EDITION that we had seen leaked from IGN: (PS3 and XBox360)
In addition to a copy of the game, the CE features an 80-page art book, metal game case, the Deathstroke Challenge Pack, and a “1st Appearance” Batman skin. Eight pages of information on the assassins hunting Batman come in a dossier as well. But the real appeal is in the 12-inch statue of Batman and The Joker. On PlayStation 3, Arkham Origins’ CE also includes the Knightfall pack.
Then this is the US ARKHAM ORIGINS Special Edition recently announced: (PS3 and Xbox360)
The special edition will include a statue of the Joker featuring LED effects, an 80-page art book, two pieces of evidence, a Batman Wanted Poster along with Prototype Schematics for the Batwing, an Anarky logo stencil, a glow-in-the-dark map of Gotham, Wayne Family Photo and Intel Dossiers on the eight assassin’s along with Black Mask’s contract.
Additionally, a First Appearance Batman Skin will be included, allowing players to appear as Batman did on his debut in Detective Comics #27 in 1939, along with the Deathstroke Challenge Pack which unlocks two extra Deathstroke skins and bonus challenge maps. Finally, North American versions of the special edition will get a feature-length documentary from Warner Bros. showcasing DC’s supervillains, while the PS3 edition will also have the Knightfall pack as exclusive content
Which one would you get? I can live with either one…but I like the Joker in the American one.
In the gaming industry there are no boundaries, which is good when you have a potentially good character that with a little tweak could become a great character. The latest character revamp in the GOTHAM CITY universe seems to be the snake-like criminial known simply as COPPERHEAD.
The earliest of incarnations of this character have been male, but for the third game of the ARKHAM CITY franchise: ARKHAM ORIGINS, the game designers made COPPERHEAD a FEMALE and gave her quite dangerous and sleek moves. I loved the preview of the character showed at the ARKHAM ORIGINS panel. Just take a look…

Sexy and dangerous…. even Joker would love a woman like that!

And I cannot wait until it gets here in October…
That statue of Batman vs Joker is worth to me the price tag of $99 dollars. No offense to the Joker Hamilll worked with in both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, but they made this Joker very ‘attractive’ (yes, even for a computer animated character) and modern at the same time. I like the new concept and the new look.
Now, here is the pic of the Collector’s Edition:
The source of the Collector’s Edition details is Arkhamverse.com who claim the original picture was leaked to a French site. A summary of the contents of the ARKHAM ORIGINS Collector’s Edition was also provided along with the leaked pic:
Now is your chance to meet another character from the upcoming game INFINITY CRISIS to come out later this year. Check out his powers, weaknesses and playing tips.
Spending time with this Joker isn’t just fun–it’s a gas!
Gaslight Joker
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.

I found a full ARKHAM ORIGINS DEMO WALKTHROUGH that was shown at E3 this year and has a little more footage on the Joker, plus more graphics from the actual playgame. Joker footage starts with the Penthouse cinematics at 14:59 and runs for almost two minutes. Mr. Baker is really doing an amazing job trying to fill such large shoes and he’s not disappointing.
(I still can’t believe this guy was Batman’s/TwoFace/Brainiac voice for the LEGO BATMAN 2 movie)
The whole playable demo walkthrough is a real treat though, so feel free to watch it from the beginning…ENJOY

It’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!
Get to meet the Infinity Crisis Joker and his abilities. Tips on the Clown Prince of Crime’s abilities, weaknesses and tactics are summarized in this interesting video from INFINITECRISISGAME. Enjoy!
