In the past I have said that I’m not impressed by the British theatrical version of JOKER in BATMAN LIVE, but the more videos I see, the more curious I become as how well, do comic book characters (as iconic as the Clown himself, or Scarecrow, or Two Face) can translate to the theatrical media.

Here they don’t have the benefit of the CGI tricks or the stunts double-action scene editing.  This is all live, so the margin for error is greater and the physical demands are much more… well, demanding.  I’ve collected a few videos from YouTube that i would like to share, and you guys let me hear what you think

I THINK THIS IDEA IS GAINING INTO ME… AND DON”T THIS HARLEY LOOKS A LOT LIKE HER SUICIDE SQUAD COUNTERPART??

jokervgaAs it is expected of video gaming (as it has happened in animation well) the creators of games can play around with the characters, even make it possible for them to accept awards in shows like this.  I had a picture, but my friend Candiss Gandy was kind enough to forward me the video of the whole acceptance speech Joker made at the VGA.  It is just fulled of zanny fun.  Please enjoy this funny video (and look at what Joker is holding in his hands.  Special thanks to  for posting this videos on YouTube :

 

Could they really be thinking of making an ARKHAM WORLD? And now that Joker is dead…who should be the main baddie in this new project? I don’t know. Maybe Joker is pulling our legs, but he might have a son really soon that might be as crazy as he was if Harley is in charge or his ‘education’. Who knows…something tells me this might be leading to the JOKERZ….

Time to check all the clues left in ARKHAM CITY about what’s going to be going on next… As a bonus, I’m including a video of Joker’s nomination for the VGAs

batmanlockdownDo you own an iPad 2, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch  and can’t have enough Arkham city in your life?  Well, search no more.  The people at WB Interactive Entertainment have created ARKHAM CITY:  LOCKDOWN for you to play in your device.  It is a one on one combat game and you can even fight Joker.  here is the report by Daniel Lopez for INTOMOBILE.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are games that finally got gamers to believe that not only can superhero games be good, but if developed by the right studio, it can sell millions and be in the running for Game of the Year by many a publication. Those of you who are looking for more Batman goodness can now look to your iOS device as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have released Batman: Arkham City Lockdown.

First of all, you should be aware the developer behind Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is NetherRealm Studios and not the developer of the console & PC versions of Batman: Arkham City, Rocksteady Studios. But, that doesn’t mean it isn’t in capable hands as if you played the recently released console version of Mortal Kombat, then you’ll know just what kind of content NetherRealm can deliver.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown has players assuming the role as Batman himself as he faces off in one-on-one combat, similar to that of Infinity Blade, against the likes of The Joker, Two-Face, Solomon Grundy and iOS-exclusive Deathstroke. Players will be able to upgrade Batman’s arsenal, as well as gain access to unlockable content like additional skins to play with. For those of you how have an Apple TV, you’ll also be able to play Batman: Arkham City Lockdown on your HDTV using iOS 5′s AirPlay feature from your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S which is a welcome addition as the game looks gorgeous.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown is now available for all iOS compatible devices and is selling for $5.99. If you’re a fan of Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Infinity Blade, then this might be a game worth looking into.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown ($5.99) – [iTunes Link]

Premise: The inmates have escaped and Batman has his hands full defeating an army of henchmen and some of his most iconic villains. Scour the rooftops and the seedy underbelly of Gotham City through a series of one-on-one battles with the Joker, Two-Face and more, as well as the Batman: Arkham City Lockdown exclusive — Deathstroke. Choose from several Batman skins and power-ups as you punch, kick and combo your way to cleaning up Gotham City

Here is a video of what  you can expect in the game:

This is probably somewhat old, but I was able to get a good link to Harley’s lullaby at the end of Arkham City.  Could this be a clue as to the third (and possibly last) installment of the game?  Another of those enigmatic little clues, our friends at Rocksteady are famous for (like the plans for Arkham City revealed back in Arkham Asylum.  Click on the link to listen (Lullaby starts at the :50 mark).

The game should sell for $14.99, or 1200 Microsoft points, respectively.

To get players prepared for the upcoming multiplayer sessions, WB has also announced it will be launching its open beta in December for all platforms.  This beta will let players test the game out early, complete with all its gadgets and character customization options.

Because you asked for it: Here is the Joker in YOUNG JUSTICE

jokeryoungjusticeI have been a little behind in this little lead, since I don’t have much time to watch cartoons these days, but I plan on  changing that and start catching up as this Joker is different from anything I have seen before.  From what I know it is voiced by Brent Spiner (Data, Star Trek: Next Generation) and though he does not sound anything like Mark Hamill or Joe DiMaggio, I think he might be into someting  good. The main problem in this episode I think is poor writing. Joker did not have much chance to show off and the jokes were kind of lame. Hope they get someone who REALLY understands the Joker’s psyche for future episodes. Regarding Mr. Spiner, I think he just needs time to get into character a little bit more.  You can hear that he is not too comfortable with the Clown yet and mostly, he needs to work on that laugh. To me, it is not maniacal enough.  Now, Mr. Spiner is no stranger to voice acting and I’m sure he could really nail this character given him time.  Let’s see how this goes in future appearances. Mr. Spiner has very big shoes to fill with Joker’s character after the work of previous voice actors and on top of that, he has to emboss that special “Spiner magic” (which is not there yet) to make THIS Joker his and unique.

In the meantime I took the liberty of bringing you SEASON 1 EPISODE 14 “REVELATIONS” part one and two with Joker in it.

 

For Part 2 Please go to the menu JOKER CHRONOLOGY and click on JOKER TV AND FILM then scroll down to the animted YOUNG JUSTICE

IRREVERENT BUT HILARIOUS!

I was just browsing around and found the ADULT SWIM site with some of clips from their ROBOT CHICKEN SERIES.  Upon searching for Joker, I found this hilarious clip (Mark Hamill voices Joker and (I think) Tom Kane (who sound just likre Morgan Freeman, voices Manta):
