WHAAAAAAA??? i luvvv uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
THOSE ARE AMAZING omg omg omg
the batman 15, batgirl 15 and suicide squad….GOSH CAN’T WAIT WHY THEY DO THIS TO ME…and teen titans too??
this is just awesome; joker as the main attraction again, this’s gonna be HOT
Love those covers!!!! the batman and batgirl ones let me speechless, and luv the suicide squad too, but’s kinda sad (hopes they don’t take that terrible harley’s design in batman;detective comics, etc)…i’m still worried; all the f**ing thing about his face…they’ve to put that thing again, gosh, hope so badly they do that, i mean, he can’t be forever without his smexy face =(
Anyway, i ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS.
more , more ,more!! O_O
asdfghjkl;’ OMG.
O. MG.
I LOVE. The art. On almost all of those covers. Just… OMG. 😀
You know that special kind of excitement? The kind only little kids get, where they bounce up and down because they’re going to EFFING CHUCK E. CHEESE’S or wherever?
That. That is what I am feeling right now. It is a very, very good feeling. I want to hug the Joker right now. But he would kill me and then I could not enjoy what these comics are claiming to offer. I really hope my glee is justified. Judging by what I’ve seen so far it is, but damn… I really hope so. Is this really… could this really be… the Joker’s renaissance? The return to form we’ve dreamed of for so long?
Please excuse me. I need to go spaz, then sit in the corner with my Joker collection and giggle in maniacal Joker fangirl glee.
IKR??!!
It’s going to be a doozy
I know girl. I will be joining you in that corner too, because you know how long I’ve been waiting for a good clown story (though I am still hesitant about the quality of the storyline). I can’t wait anymore…how long till OCTOBER????
[…] there are going to release an ARKHAM CITY: HARLEY QUINN ( see post on December Joker solicitations HERE), but the guys at DC Comics have a nifty video of the little statue from every angle. Enjoy and […]
