It’s time for another JOKER’S FUNHOUSE HIGHLIGHT Jokerholics!!
DC has produced 2 different animation maquettes from the BATMAN ANIMATED SERIES and the NEW BATMAN ADVENTURES respectively and of the two, this is the one I like most. I like it so much that I had to pass on getting the other maquette just to get a hold of this one.
What is it I like most of this maquette? Those expressive eyes, ready to unleash chaos like no other but with a large smile. How could you not at least smile…while you die when you see those eyes? The second version of the animated Joker I think lost a lot when they made the eyes black, his skin blue and simplified the face features. When I see this particular maquette, I can imagine Mark Hamill making the faces that had made this Joker a classic. Here is your info on the maquette, pictures are provided at the bottom of the article.
The Animated Series reinvented the Dark Knight’s famed Rogues’ Gallery, reimagining that motley crew of villains in a new light. The Joker takes perverse joy in wreaking havoc upon the innocents of Gotham City, cackling with glee at the terror he creates!
