Could not let the news pass me by, since this has to be probably one of the best sculpts of the Clown Prince of Crime that the Sideshow artists have produced (Yes, and probably as good as the sculpt of the Museum Quality Joker statue!). No release date, but you can sign in the Sideshow site for updates. Just click on the ling below to be taken to the site.

More pics from our friends at Sideshow depicting the new Harley Quinn figure to be released on February of 2014. The figure is basically a companion of the 1/6th Joker figure to be released later this year.
I don’t know about you guys but I have no idea who came witht he idea of that hideous corsette for Harley. If they were doing a classic Joker figure why not follow a masterpiece like that with a classic Harley? Everybody knows the regular Harley Quinn had no corsette. Is this DC and Sideshow’s idea of hybridize Harley with the new more modern look she has taken, just to make her “sexier”? I would not believe it past DC Comics, specially after the more sexual tone the new 52 line has taken lately. It’s just a personal opinion.
Now to the important info. The figure will also include two head sculpts and accessories:
Here are the pics:

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:
I don’t go for the fancy just for fads, but can’t deny that my handsome clown is depicted in all his glory (and with a face!) on the cover of BATMAN 23.1 in September, and he looks even better when you see him “moving” around in the cover as if he was really there…too cute to overlook. Take a look for yourself!
The villains are taking over all DC titles this upcoming September and each month all DC titles will showcase a series of villains pertaining to that hero or title. This is a a nice opportunity to get to meet all those villains we loved to hate as the new 52 universe has reimagined them. Some you’ve already seen in the new series, but others will be introduced for the first time. Oh and don’t forget, the Villain Month books will feature nifty 3D motion covers (that will most likely spike the price of the issues, but some of them are really neat!)Now for you all, here is a summary of the Villain issues for each title:
It all starts with FOREVER EVIL #1 (miniseries of 7 issues)
ACTION COMICS
AQUAMAN
BATMAN
BATMAN TDK
BATMAN AND ROBIN

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!

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.
