arkhamorigins-02In the gaming industry there are no boundaries, which is good when you have a potentially good character that with a little tweak could become a great character.  The latest character revamp in the GOTHAM CITY universe seems to be the snake-like criminial known simply as COPPERHEAD.

The earliest of incarnations of this character have been male, but for the third game of the ARKHAM CITY franchise: ARKHAM ORIGINS, the game designers made COPPERHEAD a FEMALE and gave her quite dangerous and sleek moves.  I loved the preview of the character showed at the ARKHAM ORIGINS panel.  Just take a look…

From this    copperheadold to this   copperheadnew

Sexy and dangerous…. even Joker would love a woman like that!

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:

infinitycrisispicNow 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.

arkhamoriginjoker01I 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

arkhamoriginjoker01It’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!

NOW PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!!!

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

arkhamoriginjoker01

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.

arkhamoriginsWB Montreal has announced the release of the ARKHAM ASYLUM/ CITY prequel titled ARKHAM ORIGINS.  According to the announcement,  WB Games Montreal is taking over Rocksteady for the development of this game and from the looks of it,  Paul Dini (who wrote the story for the previous games) is not attached to the project this time.

Sadly, rumors has it (from WB representative it seems)  that Mark Hamill might not return to reprise his Joker role this time.

Along with the first trailer, news of the voice cast for the game has dropped courtesy of IGN. A Warner Bros. spokesperson stated Roger Craig Smith has been confirmed as the voice of Batman, while Troy Baker is confirmed as the Joker. However, Conroy seemingly confirmed at Dallas Comic Con this weekend that he’s been working on the game for the last 10 months.

The game is announced to be released in OCTOBER 25, 2013 and you can already reserve your copy at your local game shop. Here is the trailer released by WB Montreal at the moment of the announcement:
