When I got the Arkham City Joker/Robin set from Walmart, I also found, hidden on the back of a few boxes the LEGACY DARK KNIGHT BATMAN and POLICE GUARD JOKER WAVE TWO. Had to make a decision, so Arkham City Joker left with me while this Joker had to wait a litte before joining the ranksof the JOKER’S FUNHOUSE: A MUSEUM. Anyways, wanted to share a few of the pictures I took of it so you could enjoy it.
In one of my little excursions to Walmart, I was surprised to see the LEGACY EDITION ARKHAM CITY JOKER and ROBIN set for sale. This is a collector’s set including the ARKHAM CITY Joker and the hooded version of Robin. Here are some pics of the figures in question. This one will be added to the JOKER’S FUNHOUSE SOON!
LEGACY EDITION ARKHAM CITY JOKER and ROBIN SET
I know…some of these might be old, but the truth is that there is so much out there to keep up it is easy sometimes to get lost on the whole thing. Anyways, I found a source of more incentives added to the Arkham City Preorders and to the moment I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY HARLEY QUINN SKINS being added to the game (but do not doubt they will come, after all they have the base with the Catwoman downloadable content). If anybody knows any different, please let me know so I can post it here, OK?
Anyways, here’s the latest scoop:

I just find this picture hilarious. Don’t know the author, but if any of you do, please email the name to me as I have to thank him/her for making me laugh my ass off (and give proper credit to the photographer). Now…ever wondered what Batman and the Joker do in their spare time?
Tony “G-Man” Gerrero does it again!
The Comic Vine contributor has gotten a hold of an early copy of the Batman files and is taken the time to review it. He goes on every aspect from presentation, to content and gives you a thorough view of what this is going to be like. (By the way…I had a chance to check an early copy of the BATMAN FILES at COMIC CON and it is everything Tony says, just an amazing book from cover to content, and it is extremely well written and beautifully illustrated). Definitely a must for any Batman fan. Here is an excerpt of the review (even a video) and If you want to see more, click on the link at the end.
…opening up The Batman Files reveals how Batman keeps everything organized. Check out our quick look at the book.
In a letter from Batman himself, he reveals that his apparent death at the hands of Darkseid, death was the one contingency he wasn’t prepared for as well as he would have liked. The idea of Batman is much larger than he or anyone around him. The purpose of The Batman Filesis to prepare his successor should he die or disappear once again, despite the dangers of allowing this book to be in existence.
We’ve seen encyclopedias and books on characters before but this is something different. Including the history of all the major Bat-characters, the presentation of files, letters, newspaper articles and pictures gives the information in a way that doesn’t come across as dry or boring. You get a feel that you’re actually part of the DC Universe and are reading actual documents…

Just at one week for the release of ARKHAM CITY, the much anticipated sequel to 2009’s ARKHAM ASYLUM, images of yet another two villains join the gigabytes of information already loaded the gaming media. Here are they in a nutshell
1. New Robin Character comes fully playable in two maps to be included in the preorder of the game. (no specific retailer was announced, but BEST BUY had been announcing a Robin skin incentive if you ordered the game with them, so I don’t know. The Robins are in reality three. The hooded ninja looking one and two additional skins: RED ROBIN and TRADITIONAL ROBIN

After the announcement that Cartoon Network (CN) plans on cancelling the series BATMAN THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD (It was about time if you ask me), it will not take them much time bring back the batman in a whole new series of CGI adventures: BEWARE THE BATMAN (and the lineup of sidekicks and villains are causing quite a buzz it seems). According to to COMIC BOOK MOVIES the announcement came from TIME WARNER: Here is a pic and the transcript fromt he announcement.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold is ending its three-season run
imminently, but DC’s iconic hero won’t be away from TV sets for too long.Comic Book Movie is reporting that Warner Bros. Animation has announced
Beware the Batman, a CGI-animated series targeted for 2013 on
Cartoon Network. The news comes from the recently wrapped MIP Junior showcase in Cannes,
France.Batman is described as “classic-looking,” fighting alongside a, wait for it,
“gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth.” With the status of a Robin currently unclear, it
looks Katana will be playing the main sidekick role, a character currently
co-starring in The New 52′s Birds of Prey. The character has a recent
past in animation, showing up Brave and the Bold episode “Enter the
Outsiders!”Along with the usual villain slate of your Jokers and your Penguins,
Beware the Batman will also feature newer and lesser-known
antagonists, with Professor Pyg — created during Grant Morrison’s
Batman run — specifically mentioned in reports.(Sam Register said that they went deeper into the rogues gallery to pull new villains. Not that we are not going to see Penguin and Joker, but we’ll see less of them. In his own words…”we didn’t want to make another Joker story…there are too many out there…” WHAT? There is never enough Joker stories if they are done right. Well, we’ll have to check this one out by ourselves when it comes out.)
World’s Finest fills in with some more details on Cartoon Network’s DC-related
offerings, saying that the “DC Nation” block is scheduled to debut in spring
2012, with a Doom Patrol series in development, along with My
Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (which has developed a surprisingly
strong online following among male “bronies” 18-35 ) showrunner Lauren Faust
working on a series of shorts starring Wonder Girl, Supergirl and Batgirl titled
“Super Best Friends Forever.”The next DC animated series to premiere will be Green Lantern: The
Animated Series, with a sneak preview airing in November before its proper
debut in spring 2012. An even earlier preview can be had next week at New York Comic Con, where the first
episode will be screened on Saturday, Oct. 15.

Checking on this week’s DC releases, I was thrilled to see they had a little preview of the upcoming graphic novel BATMAN: NOEL by JOKER artist LEE BERMEJO. The graphic novel is due in November. Here is the sneak peek published by DC this week. And if you had any doubt there was going to be any Joker on this one…check the last page of the preview. This preview came from RED LANTERNS #2:
Well, after the blow that Joker might actually die at the end of ARKHAM CITY, I tried to lighten up the atmosphere with a pic of the new NIGHTWING from the game. I don’t know. I think I don’t like the way he was modeled. I prefer the one in the comics, especially the one in NIGHTWING #1 (see thumb at the bottom of page). Here is the ARKHAM NIGHTWING preview”
