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:

Game play preview:

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

injusticejokerpicWB has announced that Batgirl will be the next DLC character to be released for the videogame INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US and what better idea than to introduce her in  the context of the now classic KILLING JOKE storyline.  They even have a Killing Joke Joker skin I am dying to download myself for my game, hope it comes with the package or can be bought separately soon (it’s easier than earn them points to unlock stuff, believe me. I am just starting to get the basic moves of the characters).  In the meantime, enjoy this clip introducing Batgirl to the INUSTICE universe.

INJUSTICE:  BATGIRL vs. JOKER

 

NOTE:  Batgirl available through Season Pass and KILLING JOKE package sold separately

Surfing the net I found this whimsical and funny sculpture of the Joker and her henchwoman on vacation. Sculpted by Adam Hastings, I found it well sculpted and quite funny. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.  Here is a picture of the sculpture:

Yeah, by popular demand, the guys at FUNKO have decided to bring up a POP! vinyl version of the Joker’s girlfriend HARLEY QUINN and to tease all Harley fans out there they have released this pic of the prototype about to go into production:

Funko is releasing another series of figurines from the DC Universe.  This time it is Gotham theme as they release a series of 20 different figurines ( about 2-3 inches tall) packed individually.  The only draw back of the whole series…you’d never know which figure you’d be getting until you open each box.  Anyways, they are ready to pre-order HERE  ($6 each or $125 whole case) and I think that the series looks very cute as a whole.  The series includes:

  • Three Random Blue Costume  Batman figures
  • Three Random Black Costume Batman figures
  • Three random Classic Joker figures
  • Three Random Dark Knight Joker figures
  • Three Random Batgirls figures
  • Two Random Penguins figures
  • Two Random Catwoman Figures
  • One  Riddler Figure

Here is a Preview:

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)

Looking at this one (though I would have preferred a larger pic and maybe more pics from other sources) I think Cesar Romero would be proud.  YES! it even has his famous painted over moustache…
