This is a concept art of the Joker to star in the new ARKHAM ORIGINS game being developed by WB Games Montreal.  The studio has apparently reported that Mark Hamill WILL NOT reprise his version of the villain this time but that instead the ORIGINS Joker will be voice by Troy Baker

And from this preview we are going to be looking to a much younger version of the Clown Prince of Crime, probably the reason for selecting a much younger voice actor to portray him.

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:

injusticejokerpicWB has announced that Batgirl will be the next DLC character to be released for the videogame INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US and what better idea than to introduce her in  the context of the now classic KILLING JOKE storyline.  They even have a Killing Joke Joker skin I am dying to download myself for my game, hope it comes with the package or can be bought separately soon (it’s easier than earn them points to unlock stuff, believe me. I am just starting to get the basic moves of the characters).  In the meantime, enjoy this clip introducing Batgirl to the INUSTICE universe.

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…

DC-Super-Villains-Poster10y

DC and WB Home Entertainment announced they are making a documentary that analyze the most iconic DC villains (and guess who’s gonna be the first one on the roster…).And the best part is that fans could also be part of the documentary.  Get ready for the details on how to be part of this project.

 Here is the original report as it appeared in DC Comics site:

Behind every great hero, there are a whole lot of villains.” – Geoff Johns

Legendary Villain Christopher Lee Narrates

The Joker, Bane, Deathstroke, Darkseid and Lex Luthor — the scariest and most menacing villains in DC Comics’ universe — take center stage in a brand new full-length documentary from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) and DC Entertainment (DCE). The joint announcement was made today by WBHE and DCE.

Christopher Lee, who has played the villain more times than almost any other actor, will provide his unique voice as narrator. His roles in more than 200 films include star turns as Dracula, the Mummy and Frankenstein’s monster in Hammer horror classics, Count Dooku in Star Wars, and Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit films.

In this new documentary film, the malevolent, sometimes charismatic figures from DC Comics’ hallowed rogues’ gallery will be explored in depth, featuring interviews with the famed creators, storytellers and those who have crafted the personalities and profiles of many of the most notorious villains in comic book history.

Production begins March 30, to coincide with WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center March 29-31.

Noted Geoff Johns, best-selling author and DCE’s Chief Creative Officer, “DC Comics is known for many things, but chief among them is the compelling, diverse and legendary society of super-villains who populate its universe. From the monstrous Solomon Grundy to the brutal Black Adam to the charismatic Sinestro, there is no single greater collection of villainy in all of fiction. These villains are hugely popular comic book characters in their own right and, quite honestly, many are often times more popular than some of our iconic super heroes.”

Jeff Baker, WBHE’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog, added “The DC brand is enjoying a huge resurgence thanks to the entire leadership team at DC Entertainment which is driving opportunities not only for new theatrical properties, but for brand extensions as well. This new documentary will reinforce this evolving strategy and leverage DC assets across the entire studio landscape.”

Johns also reiterated that this year’s initiative will be a turning point for DCE. “It’s time we deconstruct these complex and sinister antagonists and celebrate the role they play as the engine and energy of some of the greatest storytelling in comics. 2013 is the Year of the Villain at DC Comics.”

On Saturday, March 30th, fans attending WonderCon are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite DC Comics’ villain for an opportunity to be featured in the documentary. Fans can join DCE at WonderCon Booth 801 with filming to take place Saturday from 10:30 am – Noon. To find out more about where and what time to meet in the WonderCon DC Entertainment booth, keep checking the DC Comics Facebook (Facebook.com/DCComics) and Twitter sites (@DCComics).

Participation in upcoming ‘cons’ (Comic-Con International: San Diego and New York Comic Con) is anticipated, with a full release scheduled for later in the year.

injusticejokerpic Scanning the Tube, I was thrilled to checkout the latest on the Joker appearance on the game.  I found a few vids I would like to share with Jokerdom and have to say that even if he is the real thing or not (for details read the latest INJUSTICE: GODS AMONGS US comic prequel) but I have to say… I LOVE HIS MOVES. 

I think they captured the Joker’s whimsical fighting style with lots of interesting darker aspects of his personality from recent storylines. He is funny….and at the same time…DARKER (like Arkham Asylum’s Mr. J).  I like this Joker much more than the one I saw  and heard in DC vs MORTAL COMBAT video game (though I think the problem there was the dialogue not the voice acting).  

Oh, and the voice…suits him very nice…Mr. Epcar has definitely matured into the character.  ENCORE!

Check these guy out…
