I am definitely sold…He can do the Killing Joke  any time if Mark Hamill is not available.

Bob Harras has announced some details of the upcoming appearace of the Joker in October’s BATMAN #23.1.  Here is an excerpt of what he had said in at the DC COMICS site:

I also told you that a classic and unexpected Batman villain will be appearing in the upcoming Villains Month one-shot, BATMAN #23.1: JOKER. Well today, I’m pleased to tell you that the villain I was talking about was none other than Jackanapes (who readers last saw in BATMAN, INCORPORATED #5). BATMAN #23.1: JOKER takes place many years ago – back when The Joker’s face was still intact. In fact, this unique one-shot marks one of the earliest appearances we’ve seen of this notorious villain so far in the New 52. While at a zoo, the Joker will have a flashback to a childhood memory that will trigger his need to take Jackanapes under his wing. It is here that Joker will take on a new, twisted role: that of a mentor. But why is he training Jackanapes to be a villain? What use will he have for him? –

Today’s spotlight is especially important to me, because in a humble effort to expand my collection I was able to get a hold of a very rare japanese figure (I’ve been hunting one of these since it’s release). It is the TAKARA TOMY 1/6th Vintage Joker figure from TOMY ENTERMEDIA. And here is my new figure:

jokercollectorA Jokerholic friend posted this in one of the galleries in my Joker museum but it is just such an insanely large and dedicated collection that I believed it deserved the spotlight.  I’m an avid collector of Joker and Harley too (more Joker than Harley have to confess) as you can see from my museum, but this collection left me awestruck and drooling like an idiot.

The owner of this magnificent collection is Mark Terrence Sy  who lives in the Philipines and it’s obvious he has been very busy with his collection.   There are items there I have not been able to find anywhere in the web…not even by reference.  I applaud his efforts for keeping Jokerdom alive and I give you a glimpse of his collection. 

YOU CAN ALL DROOL NOW!

No question that conventions spark the creativity of fans (an companies alike) when presenting their creations at this monumental events.  SDCC is no exception being the biggest in the country.  On the convention floor there were LEGO sculptures of Batman, Robin and the Clown Prince of Crime.  I’ve seen all the efforts involved in creating sculptures like these (at my local Lego Store) so kudos to the architects and workers involved in making these works of art. 

Here is the HARLEQUIN OF HATE in all his LEGO GLORY!

And check the Batman and Robin sculptures too!

Could not let the news pass me by, since this has to be probably one of the best sculpts of the Clown Prince of Crime that the Sideshow artists have produced (Yes, and probably as good as the sculpt of the Museum Quality Joker statue!).  No release date, but you can sign in the Sideshow site for updates.  Just click on the ling below to be taken to the site.

And I cannot wait until it gets here in October…

That statue of Batman vs Joker is worth to me the price tag of $99 dollars.  No offense to the Joker Hamilll worked with in both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, but they made this Joker very ‘attractive’ (yes, even for a computer animated character) and modern at the same time.  I like the new concept and the new look. 

Now, here is the pic of the Collector’s Edition:

The source of the Collector’s Edition details is Arkhamverse.com who claim the original picture was leaked to a French site.  A summary of the contents of the ARKHAM ORIGINS Collector’s Edition was also provided along with the leaked pic:

I don’t go for the fancy just for fads, but can’t deny that my handsome clown is depicted in all his glory (and with a face!) on the cover of BATMAN 23.1 in September, and he looks even better when you see him “moving” around in the cover as if he was really there…too cute to overlook.  Take a look for yourself!
