I really am waiting for the release of this figure. I had collected the other Kai Arts figures (Joker, Joker Black, and Harley Quinn) and have to say that the quality of the craftmanship is impressive for such a small action figure (as compared with the much larger Hot Toys and Enterbay). Here is a video I found reviewing the figure and makes me even more curious. I need to get my hands on this figure.
Now 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.

I 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

It’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!
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
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.

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:

WB 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.
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:
