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.

DC Comics is constantly teasing us with snippets of their new online game INFINITY CRISIS, and this time they give us a little preview of the GASLIGHT JOKER.   It really does not look anything like the Gotham by Gaslight Joker counterpart (Note:  Joker had a very small cameo in the graphic novel), but I guess that version did not addapt well to the game so they took some liberties with the character.  Take a look at this preview and tell me what you think:

infinitycrisispicSomeone heard my prayers and it seems that the multiverse of playable characters are not going to be limited to heroes, but that villains are in the roster too…especially JOKER.  And in this trailer, you can take a peek of at least 2 (maybe 3 different Jokers in the game)  Enjoy the trailer:

 

…Not a lot of information has been released so far. You have to admit the idea of playing as GOTHAM BY GASLIGHT Batman sounds pretty cool. It will be a free-to-play MOBA and you’ll be able to recruit a roster of heroes and villains to command.

Looking at the website, we see listed under ‘Champions’ the following characters:

  • Nightmare Batman
  • Doomsday
  • Flash
  • Gaslight Batman
  • Gaslight Catwoman
  • Gaslight Joker
  • Green Lantern
  • Poison Ivy
  • Shazam
  • Joker
  • Wonder Woman
  • Zatana

It’s safe to assume we’ll be seeing a lot more characters added to this list. New characters are promised to be added each month.

There are also some of the different Universes listed:

  • Prime (Earth-0)
  • Arcane (Earth-13)
  • Atomic (Earth-17)
  • Gaslight (Earth-43)
  • Mecha (Earth-44)

Players Can Register Now for a Chance to Participate in the Beta

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Infinite Crisis, an all-new multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed by Turbine, the award winning studio behind free-to-play online games including The Lord of the Rings Online™. Infinite Crisis is a free-to-play game that features a deep roster of DC Comics characters and is scheduled for release in 2013 for the PC.

Infinite Crisis is a new entrant into the wildly popular MOBA genre that delivers a heart-pounding competitive player vs. player battle experience set in the legendary DC Multiverse – a world in which familiar DC Comics characters have been reimagined in startling ways. Featuring a wide variety of DC Comics heroes and villains, Infinite Crisis puts players in control of twisted incarnations of their favorite characters throughout the Multiverse such as Nightmare Batman and Gaslight Catwoman, playing in league with well-known characters including Green Lantern and The Flash.

And I wonder…Will we be able to batttle  multiverse versions of the Joker as well? Hmm…there’s a thought.
