Nice Batman: The Dark Knight Rises featurette brought to you by the guys at WB. It’s 13 minutes long, enjoy!

Between you and me guys…they did an awesome job with Bane’s voice.  Maybe this is worth wathching after all…

darkknightreturns00Hey friends, this is the preview of DC’s upcoming animated movie THE DARK KNIGHT as it appeared in SUPERMAN: THE ELITE; with interviews with Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett among others.  This is part one of the preview, since part two will appear later in the year and they will keep us waiting into finding out who are they going to hire to voice Joker…like always.  I vote for Hammill first, then DiMaggio second and if they want an unknown actor…I’m sure Lordjazor would love to lend his voice.  Keep your eyes peeled and for the moment, enjoy this:

jokersongMy friend Stephano Joseph Kerr has posted  this wonderful link to “THE JOKER’S SONG” as played by Miracle of Sound. I had been listening to the lyrics and the tune and it is indeed catchy and very much descriptive of the Joker and Batman relationship as it would be told from the Joker’s point of view. Lyrics provided below.

 

You’d be the judge so let me know, now enjoy!

 

LYRICS:

Grinning down through the gates
Watch the night suffocate
All the light as it smothers the sun
I can tell by the moon
You’ll be joining me soon
As a guest in my fortress of fun!

And I can’t wait to see you
And once again free you
Released from your humourless air
Someday I will replace
That big frown on your face
With a smile and a murderous glare

We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You’re the yin to my yang, can’t you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!

I’m just trying to show you
Just how well I know you
I understand just how you feel
Threw your reason away
‘Cause you had one bad day
And your mind let go of the wheel

Still we’re fated to battle
You pout and I prattle
Don’t you ever tire of this game?
But you’ll not make it end
‘Cause I’m your only friend
We are opposites but we’re the same

We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You’re the yin to my yang, can’t you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!

We have so many wonderful stories
I have studied the mind of this bat
A hero with no praise or glory
Just his cape and his cave and his…
MEOW!!! AAHHHAHAHAHOOOOHOHOHHAHAH!

We are two of a kind
Violent, unsound of mind
You’re the yin to my yang, can’t you see?
And if I were to leave
You would grumble and grieve
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
You’d be lost (You’d be lost)
Face it, Bats…
You’d be lost without me!

jokerbikeI think that you guys will find a kick out of this.  This piece of arwork on wheels comes from the talented guys at AIRARTIFEX CUSTOM AUTOART.  I think this is something Joker would ride, I know I would KILL to ride something like this…

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.

jokeryoungjusticeSome time ago I brought to you the Joker’s first appearance of  in the YOUNG JUSTICE series.  Back then I said (and I reaffirm what I said)  that though Mr. Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek The Next Generation)  is no Mark Hamill, I don’t doubt he has the talent to fill in the shoes of the Clown Prince of Crime’s voice.  Part of the problem in that first appearance was that the script wrote for Joker in that particular episode was poorly conceived, but…

…Anyways, given that the series can be better written, I want to say that Mr. Spiner also needs to work a little bit on entonation and purpose of the voice (kind of understanding what makes Joker tic).  And above all, he has to WORK ON THE LAUGHTER.

Joker’s laughter’s is just chilling.  When you hear him laugh, you should know nothing good is coming from this clown.  Yes, he is charming, but he is also scary. His laughter will make you soil your pants…  I have an example here and though I have to admit that my friend LORDJAZOR’s dubbing sounds like Hamill (his talent with the Joker voice), the whole point of the comparison is to show what a little change in mood and purpose of the voice actor can do to the presence of a character on the screen.  JUST…LISTEN…

 

THIS IS MR. BRENT SPINER’S RENDITION of JOKER

 

And theSAME PASSAGE, but DUBBED BY LORDJAZOR.

NOW…..Which one sounds better?  I know the answer, do you?  I’m sure Mr. Spiner has  time to get it right.

 

Other  posts I’ve made regarding LORDJAZOR’S Joker can be found HERE, HERE and HERE .

And a million thanks to LORDJAZOR for dubbing this  for the fans ( and it helped me since I was dying to write this little note).  You can hear more of LORDJAZOR’s voice magic on his YouTube channel HERE
