LordJazor found this great drawing that summarizes my feelings about Joker’s participation on the DC REBOOT so far so I wanted to share it with the Jokerholics of the world (I’m still waiting for a miracle to happen DC!!).  I would really like to know where they are going with my clown, but I guess we’ll have to sit and wait.  Luckily we we’ll not be disappointed…right?  (*prays*)

art-salt-jokerThis week’s art for the Masses is somewhat different.  SALT ART!

Ok, as if drawing, painting or photoshoping Joker were not hard enough on their own right, BASHIR SULTANI  brings art to a new level when he tries to make a Heath Ledger Joker portrait out of table salt.  And it looks great…I bow to his talent!!

Did I tell you about this guitar…why so serious?

My friend Candiss sent me a link to this beautiful electric guitar, custom made with Heath Ledger’s Joker’s picture painted on its face.  I think it’s nice, though pricey…but maybe a Jokerholic out there with some money to spend and a great talent to play an electric guitar would be interested.  Link to the auction at the bottom of the post.

jokeryoungjusticeI have been a little behind in this little lead, since I don’t have much time to watch cartoons these days, but I plan on  changing that and start catching up as this Joker is different from anything I have seen before.  From what I know it is voiced by Brent Spiner (Data, Star Trek: Next Generation) and though he does not sound anything like Mark Hamill or Joe DiMaggio, I think he might be into someting  good. The main problem in this episode I think is poor writing. Joker did not have much chance to show off and the jokes were kind of lame. Hope they get someone who REALLY understands the Joker’s psyche for future episodes. Regarding Mr. Spiner, I think he just needs time to get into character a little bit more.  You can hear that he is not too comfortable with the Clown yet and mostly, he needs to work on that laugh. To me, it is not maniacal enough.  Now, Mr. Spiner is no stranger to voice acting and I’m sure he could really nail this character given him time.  Let’s see how this goes in future appearances. Mr. Spiner has very big shoes to fill with Joker’s character after the work of previous voice actors and on top of that, he has to emboss that special “Spiner magic” (which is not there yet) to make THIS Joker his and unique.

In the meantime I took the liberty of bringing you SEASON 1 EPISODE 14 “REVELATIONS” part one and two with Joker in it.

 

For Part 2 Please go to the menu JOKER CHRONOLOGY and click on JOKER TV AND FILM then scroll down to the animted YOUNG JUSTICE

Joker and His Bunny in Dark Knight #2

Hiya guys,

Just catching in my reading and found that Joker this month also made an appearance in David Finch’s BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT #2.  It appears that all of the inmates have been injected with a serum that takes their fear away.  First we found what it did to Two-Face, then we find out is a derivative of Crane’s fear toxin, and it seems that Joker got a taste of it too.  And I thought that Joker was already fearless (and  inmmune to the Scarecrow’s toxin).  Oh well.  The more Joker the merrier and this is enough Joker for everyone. Watch the pic below:

How funny!  A clown dressed in a Bat suit!  Too bad you’re just the opening act…
