I 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…

Well, we know the Batman has a sick taste for young children in tights, so the jump to psychotic clows was obvious. So really…are we surprised? Not me, enjoy!

This week’s JOKER ART comes from Mark Stuzman.
A graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Mark Stutzman began his illustration career at a fast-paced television station, where he worked on sets, created on-air graphics, painted weather maps, and created celebrity drawings that attracted industry attention.
His Joker Art comes to us from one of the cards he painted for the ARKHAM ASYLUM POKER SET. He was responsible the art of the whole set, but his Joker is one of the most beautiful and realistically depicted I have seen (Aside from Ross’, or the Hildebrant Brothers) Hope you like it as much as I did…

The end of ARKHAM CITY pissed off many Joker fans all over the world, though we all knew that the Clown will sometime would get over his head with his own insane plans and one of them would fire back. Well, in the ARKHAM CITY world Joker is dead and no one is more pissed about it than HARLEY QUINN:
Harley Quinn is not happy. After seeing what kind of damage Batman dished out on the Joker in “Batman: Arkham City,” she’s decided to take matters into her own hands and seek revenge, using a big mallet to get the point across.
As previously hinted in a list of PS3 Trophies, WB Games and Rocksteady Studios confirmed today a new downloadable content pack for “Batman: Arkham City,” titled “Harley Quinn’s Revenge,” will be available starting next week for around $6.99 (or 560 Microsoft points). She’ll fight her way through a series of missions, earning trophies such as “How’s It Hanging?” (where you clean up the Dry Docks) and “Breaking and Entering” (where she finds a way into a secret base). No word yet if the DLC will include a face-off against Batman, but that would certainly make things interesting

Comic Vine’s exclusive Tony “G-man” Guerrero reported about DC’s new Toys revealed at this month’s C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo). Many new goodies have been unveiled from the new DC COLLECTIBLES (DC Direct’s new name) headquarters. Here I will mention only those relevant to Gotham and Joker, since that is the scope of this site, but more pictures can be seen at “G-Man’s” report HERE
From Arkham City Series 2, here is a closer look at the new figures ( And I know many of you were wanting to see them). Watch my earlier posts on these figures HERE and HERE

Don’t forget they will also release a ARKHAM CITY 2 JOKER TITAN FIGURE at the end of this year. You can find pictures of this figure HERE and HERE
And I was surprised that G-Man could not get a shot of the most anticipated RA’S AL GHUL action figure…probably because DC does not have a working figure as they release these…Let’s hope they will have one at the NYCC this year, I promise to bring one to you as soon as I get one. In the meantime, enjoy this Prototype figure sculpted in Z-brush and taken directly from Paul Harding Studios.

I 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.

Newsarama shared a page from the new digital comic AME-COMI GIRLS. Personally I have the figure of Harley Quinn from the series (for pictures please visit the Joker’s Museum, Harley Quinn Action Figure wing) and have to say that I find the new anime-inspired versions quite refreshing but from there to developing a whole new series based on these characters? Come on, as if we did not have enough DC universe already on the shelves. I think the reception to this new series will be somewhat lukewarm unless the writing is SUPERB…and I don’t know if DC can accomplish that here. We’ll see. I promise to buy the first issue and give you guys my opinion in the meantime…enjoy the preview page
While DC’s familiar female characters are clearly wearing a whole new wardrobe in the new Ame-Comi Girls comics, they’re also being marketed with a whole new approach.
Beginning in May, Ame-Comi Girls, based on the popular manga-inspired collectibles DC has been selling the past few years, will be released as a weekly series every Monday. That release schedule breaks the traditional release schedule of American superhero comics, which normally come out monthly on Wednesdays.
Gray, who’s co-writing the comics with his frequent collaborator, Jimmy Palmiotti, is excited by the prospect of being involved in a digital-first comic that comes out on different days. “Why not? I keep saying how important the digital landscape is to reaching a wider, and hopefully younger, audience that both embraces the new format and is unencumbered by a ‘been there seen that’ familiarity with the comic industry,” he said. “Eventually everyone of every age is going to have access to apps and the importance of giving comics a strong cultural hold on the digital market seems imperative to the growth of the industry.”
