New52HQBust01DC Collectibles has announced a new HARLEY QUINN Bust based on her NEW 52 look to be released in September 2014.  Normally I don’t give much for her new look and would have skipped the idea of buying it ( I’m a Joker collector anyways)  but this one is designed by JIM LEE!!! It is impossible to pass this one this time with the other busts in the series showing such dynamism and quality.  So yes, I’m, sold into getting her.  Check this out…

ArkhamKnightTrailerHQDC and ROCKSTEADY, the game studio that brought you the first 2  installments of the Arkham City franchise are now concluding the series  with their latest game ARKHAM KNIGHT to be released this year.  I watched the trailer and liked what I saw.  It seems we have a plethora oF familiar faces trying to take over the prison island (Two-Face, Penguin, Scarecrow and Harley Quinn)  and hopefully new and intriguing neww characters to face in combat.

I’m really impressed by the graphics and the realism of the environment.   Like always,  Batman moves are killer, hope they can keep the same awesome feeling during gameplay (when the quality goes down in favor of speed)  I personally like the redesigning of the characters, including Bats new uniform, but most I like the redesign of Harley Quinn where you’ll see a very sexy woman, definitely much improved than the other three installments that looked a little more cartoony. Here REALISM is the CLUE…

The game is scheduled to be release later this year for the PS4, XBox One and PC platforms.

Makes me wonder…why has nobody come up with a CG Batman movie with this quality? They can really get wonders done in animation, and just with the right voices…   Anyways, here is the trailer of the new game…enjoy!

His name is Philip Bonneau, and his comic book inspired exhibit titled HEROES AND VILLAINS will open on April 7th at the MISTER  Center(the gay and bisexual mens’s community center) in Atlanta. Bonneau’s style is strong, and fresh and his reinterpretation is a combination of new aesthetic and dynamism. Not everybody might be into reinterpretative photography,but I personally like how the photographer uses the poses, props and paint to create a refreshingly unique (and sometimes comical) picture of what are iconic heroes and villains of the DC world.

Of course, no DC roster would be complete without our infamous Clown Prince of Crime on center stage, and as it happens he is part of this exhibit as well as other familiar faces like Superman, Aquaman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Batman and Robin along with pulp-fiction era classics as Zorro and the Shadow.  Here are some of the picture of the exhibit. Feel free to click on the thumbnails and for more or Bonneau’s photographic art visit his Flicker page HERE.

For those LEGO fans in JOKERDOM, these are the news you were waiting for…

jkr-steamroller01The LEGO JOKER’S STEAMROLLER set that was released in the UK and Japan (and Ebay if you count that as a country…HAHA!) is now available in the US.  Just saw the set on a WALMART SUPERSTORE here in Florida and the sale price is $49.99.  Have not checked, but it might also be available on  WALMART.COM.  I’d suggest those interested act soon, since I did not see that many boxed sets at the store.

Just updating…got a notification from TOYS R US that they DO have the Joker’s Steamroller building set available at their stores and online.

Good luck LEGO HUNTERS OF JOKERDOM!!!!

Another masterpiece  dropped into my lap, this time a magnificent painting of Jack Nicholson’s Joker by talented illustrator Jason Edmiston. Jason’s art shows the drama of  cinema  (and you might recognize some of his art from promotional posters of some movie classics) in combination with an artistic realism that is really incredible.  Just take a look at this:

Just surfing the net finding good stuff for the new site I found these incredible miniature pieces of art.  The company is called KNIGHT DESIGNS and are located in Europe, selling their kits world wide.The quality of the miniature is incredible, and for those with the talent to paint and assemble these kits, this is indeed a great way to express your artistic side.  The only thing is to find them (which I can of found a little hard, unless you knew what you were looking for, so I decided to help in your search for Joker miniatures).

They vary from 35 mm (about 1.4 inches) to 75 mm (about 3 inches) in height and the unpainted/un-assembled sets are varied in its content and made of white metal or high quality resin, reproducing even the smallest of details.  Here are a few samples of some of the kits that have been produced  and pay notice that at the time of this post, some of them might have sold out (*tear runs down cheek*)

And just so you know, they have acquired other licenses to miniaturize with the same quality and attention given to their Joker sets.

These sets come ready to be assembled and painted by you!

DC Collectibles announced at the end of last month that they are planning on releasing a new figure based on the INJUSTICE:  GODS AMONG US game play.  The new figure is going to be smaller than the previous one released this year and will provide a new sculpt.  Here is a preview of the figure:

injustice-joker-figure

DC Collectibles held a Q&A on their Facebook page about some of their products. They revealed a new Injustice Joker 3.75″ Figure. The image shows a work in progress sculpt, so some details may change. Other than that, for the most part, nothing too revealing. You can check out the rest of the Q&A, and the photo of The Joker, after the jump.

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.
