So yeah…

It appears that all the buzz about the new Harley downloadable content for the ARKHAM CITY game were based on misinformation.  I had posted before that the DLC would be available by the end of April, and April is gone..with no DLC on the horizon. Sorry for that, guys, but Rocksteady has updated the information on the downloadable content.  The DLC content will now be available on MAY 29, 2012 according to new tweets from the design studio.

Here is what WB says:

The Harley Quinn’s Revenge mission sends players back into Arkham City to face their final challenge as they interchange between playing as both Batman and Robin. Gamers must utilize each of the characters’ unique combat and investigative skills to uncover Harley’s vengeful plan and shut the gates on the urban mega-prison forever. In addition to experiencing a new storyline, fans can explore new environments and face-off against Harley’s all new gang of thugs.

Let’s hope this one is the real thing this time.

In the meantime, enjoy these…

NICE PROMO MATERIAL OF THE NEW DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT

I had proposed this before, Mark Hamill himself said he would gladly voice his Joker one more time for such a monumental project, fans are begging to DC to do a movie based on the graphic novel the KILLING JOKE and have Hamill voice the Joker, and one group of avid fans, have started a campaign on FACEBOOK, a Petition to have Hamill voice the Joker if DC ever decides to go on with the project.

What’s left?  For DC to listen to the fans.

Please, visit them and join the petition.  Click on the link below.

Secrets behind FREE COMIC BOOK DAY’S DC NEW 52…

I know this is no Joker related, but I think is news worth passing on.

If you didn’t get a copy from your local comic book shop (and shame on you because it was a FREE copy), you missed a fun little issue.  Several artists collaborated with Geoff Johns in bringing up what seems like a little taste of things to come (more than I was able to gather, that was sure)  The magnificent guys as CBR have dissected the teases and clues for you all fans. First, take a look at the first five pages I bring out to you…

And here is a preview of the complete analysis made by the guys at COMIC BOOK RESOURCES.

The issue opens with a mysterious group of eight god-like character with Shazam-like trappings (depicted by Joe Prado) — likely the “Circle of Eternity” the Phantom Stranger referred to in “Justice League” #6. Although Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s “Shazam” backups in “Justice League” have yet to introduce this mysterious council, their presence and actions in DC’s Free Comic Book Day issue suggest the former Captain Marvel’s role in the New 52 will be far, far larger and integral than before the relaunch.

Joker Art of the Masses: MARK STUTZMAN

This week’s JOKER ART comes from Mark Stuzman.

A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Mark Stutzman began his illustration career at a fast-paced television station, where he worked on sets, created on-air graphics, painted weather maps, and created celebrity drawings that attracted industry attention.

His Joker Art comes to us from one of the cards he painted for the ARKHAM ASYLUM POKER SET.  He was responsible the art of the whole set, but his Joker is one of the most beautiful and realistically depicted I have seen (Aside from Ross’, or the Hildebrant Brothers)  Hope you like it as much as I did…

Prepare for HARLEY QUINN’S REVENGE

hqrevengeThe end of ARKHAM CITY pissed off many Joker fans all over the world, though we all knew that the Clown will sometime would get over his head with his own insane plans and one of them would fire back.  Well, in the ARKHAM CITY world Joker is dead and no one is more pissed about it than HARLEY QUINN:

Harley Quinn is not happy. After seeing what kind of damage Batman dished out on the Joker in “Batman: Arkham City,” she’s decided to take matters into her own hands and seek revenge, using a big mallet to get the point across.

As previously hinted in a list of PS3 Trophies, WB Games and Rocksteady Studios confirmed today a new downloadable content pack for “Batman: Arkham City,” titled “Harley Quinn’s Revenge,” will be available starting next week for around $6.99 (or 560 Microsoft points). She’ll fight her way through a series of missions, earning trophies such as “How’s It Hanging?” (where you clean up the Dry Docks) and “Breaking and Entering” (where she finds a way into a secret base). No word yet if the DLC will include a face-off against Batman, but that would certainly make things interesting

Comic Vine’s exclusive Tony “G-man” Guerrero reported about DC’s new Toys revealed at this month’s C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo).  Many new goodies have been unveiled from the new DC COLLECTIBLES (DC Direct’s new name) headquarters.  Here I will mention only those relevant to Gotham and Joker, since that is  the scope of this site, but more pictures can be seen at “G-Man’s” report HERE

From Arkham City Series 2, here is a closer look at the new figures ( And I know many of you were wanting to see them). Watch my earlier posts on these figures HERE and HERE

Don’t forget they will also release a ARKHAM CITY 2 JOKER TITAN FIGURE at the end of this year.  You can find pictures of this figure HERE and HERE

And I was surprised that G-Man could not get a shot of the most anticipated RA’S AL GHUL action figure…probably because DC does not have a working figure as they release these…Let’s hope they will have one at the NYCC this year, I promise to bring one to you as soon as I get one.  In the meantime, enjoy this Prototype figure  sculpted in Z-brush and taken directly from Paul Harding Studios.

More LordJazor Joker: “Excerpt from Outsiders 3”

outsider3lordjazorI will not deny that I’m a big fan of LordJazor’s Joker.  This gentleman is a very talented voice actor on his own right and can do a lot of things with his voice. From Dr. Doom, to Wolverine, to you name it, I think he has managed to have done everything (or almost everything). And of all the work I’ve heard from him, my favorite will always be his Joker voice overs.  Here is another of his creations, an EXCERPT from OUTSIDERS issue 3, for you to enjoy.

 

And this is my message to DC, please take notice of the talent of this young man for your next Joker project….it will be worth your investment.

In an announcement made by CBR, DC is to release new Batman title ONLY on digital format soon.  This is the whole report and maybe possible future cover of one of the issues?

Following the release of the digital Smallville: Season 11 series today, USA Today reports that DC Comics has added two more titles to its upcoming slate of digital-first releases.

jokerbats01

Batman–which will feature tales of the Dark Knight by Ben Templesmith, Steve Niles, B. Clay Moore, Nicola Scott, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Damon Lindelof and Jeff Lemire, among others–will come out on Thursdays.

They [DC] also announced the creative pairings for the Batman digital comics: “BATMAN digital, launching in June, will take place outside of DC Comics – The New 52 continuity and feature a series of stand-alone stories by various creators that chronicle different cases handled by The Dark Knight. Confirmed creative teams include Damon Lindelof and Jeff Lemire; Jonathan Larsen and JG Jones; Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott; Ales Kot and Ryan Sook; B. Clay Moore and Ben Templesmith; Steve Niles and Trevor Hairsine; Joe Harris and Jason Masters; TJ Fixman and Christopher Mitten; Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman; Joshua Hale Fialkov and Phil Hester; David Tischman and Chris Sprouse; and many more!”

The other series will be “AME-COMI GIRLS, launching in May, and  based on the best-selling product line from DC Collectibles that brings the distinct Japanese influence of anime and manga to DC Comics’ female heroines and their foes. In the new series, the heroines must unite to stop an invasion by the female Braniac, who is aided by a group of ‘bad girl’ super villains. Initially, there will be five individual character arcs with multiple chapters, leading up to united, Ame-Comi girl series. All stories are written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with Wonder Woman art by Amanda Conner and Tony Akins, Batgirl art by Sanford Greene, Duela Dent art by Ted Naifeh, Power Girl art by Mike Bowden and Supergirl art by Santi Casas.”

So the weekly line-up of digital-first series from DC looks like this:

  • Monday: Ame-Comi Girls
  • Tuesday: Batman: Arkham Unhinged
  • Wednesday: The Beyond comics
  • Thursday: Batman
  • Friday: Smallville: Season 11

Did anybody see this?
