Occasionally the Diamond Previews monthly catalogue becomes a genuine collectible item, such as this catalogue with the first listing of The Walking Dead or this Kingdom Come covered edition. Well, today's has this listing. In the top left corner, that is likely the only official printing of that Joker variant cover, ever. What's it worth to you?   .   [...]

So the Batgirl Joker Variant controversy has gone global The story about DC Comics pulling the Batgirl #41 Joker variant at the request of its artist Rafael Albuquerque has been reported by The Guardian, Paste Magazine, Inquistr, Mary Sue, HitFix, and Daily Caller giving us the least accurate headline "Social Justice Puritans Convince Artist To[...]

And the return to something that previously Scott Snyder wasn't allowed to do. The original plan for the Death Of The Family story would have seen the Joker remove one of Alfred's hands. At Boston Comic Con this weekend, Scott Snyder took to the DC Comics panel to talk about his plans for Batman We referred to[...]

This new video to go with the "I'm Loving It" tagline includes: Pac Man, Batman, Joker, The Wicked Witch, Dorothy, Spongebob Squarepants, Freddie Krueger, Michael Meyers, Super Mario, King Kruppa, The Smurfs, Gargamel, Wile E Coyote, Road Runner, King Kong and Rock'em Sock'em Robots… but the most impossible to believe archenemies getting together of McDonald's[...]

Rich Epstein writes for Bleeding Cool: On November 11, 2014, Batman is finally being released on Blu-Ray and DVD.  No, not that one.  Or that one.  The original 1960s tv show and movie has been remastered in all of its cheesy glory.  And to celebrate the release, Adam West was at New York Comic Con on[...]

After getting a chance to preview it, I'm now also going to make a point of checking-out Reeder's Rocket Girl. *A mixed drink called "Joker's Toxin," a watermelon-based beer and a something-something-"Hobgoblin" ale were my personal beverages-of-choice and they were amazing There was a drink I had at the rooftop bar that came in a tall,[...]

It comes with all of the above along with a transformable Batmobile statue. Kevin Conroy (Batman) and Troy Baker (Joker) are scheduled back and we know that Harley Quinn is supposed to be a playable character this time around Also Riddler, Penguin and Two-Face have already been confirmed as villains in the game. The third and[...]

Bob Wayne's last San Diego for DC Comics saw him give an energetic presentation to retailers at the Diamond Lunch. We've run a number of pieces, with more to come, but he did have a little advice for retailers regarding two upcoming projects. The Joker Mask is currently a San Diego Exclusive item, but he recommended that[...]

And the suggestion that he may be a future Joker. I now understand that this was very deliberate and that the producers are playing with us. Basically, every episode in the first season will introduce a character that might be a future Joker, each emphasising aspects of the character's iconography, a card sharp, a flower seller, a[...]

And along the way, we took a few screencaps, including a look at a fellow who we postulated might be the new Joker. He is actor Jon Beavers His scene appears in the last third of the pilot episode, performing in gangster Fish Mooney's club. And he goes down well, to his audience of one,[...]

But now, things seem to be going her way a little more. There's the free release of Occasional Superheroine. From Bluewater, there's Beyond: Edward Snowden   There's another on the curse of the Joker, and clown history in Beyond: The Joker, Man Who Laughs .   Which handily comes out a week before the Batman: Death of the Family Book and Joker[...]

 DC countered that their promo comic will actually be out before that avalanche starts and that local shops can actually send out press releases to their local news media the week before and get articles pre-set for that Wednesday… The Batman Death of the Family box set with the Joker mask had an actual mock-up box[...]

Figure Toy Company appear to be aggressively bring us back the comic book toy heroes of the 70's. If you grew up in the age of disco and loved comics, the

Going up against him is a heady experience for anyone. But it would be even harder when he's wearing this Joker face mask, as he did at the DC Retailer Meet this week. Honestly, that is him… Find out how to get your mask right here. Jim Lee is a keen poker player He's rather good[...]

We know that, as with the Batman: Court Of Owls and V For Vendetta mask/box set, DC Comics will be publishing a Batman: Death Of The Family collection with a Joker skin mask in September The skin masks will also be available separately to attendees at San Diego Comic Con, according to folks who attended MegaCon[...]

I'd think he'd do anything to keep Dick, Jason, Tim and Barbara away from danger, not let them tag along as he goes off to deal with a psychopath like the Joker He has a big heart for all the people of the city… except the couple of children he keeps taking out to get[...]

Jock tweets; Sunday Joker page, written by @Uptomyknees — pic.twitter.com/15FBedldiT — jock (@jock4twenty) December 8, 2013   That would be Max Landis, writer of Chronicle, and recently turned comic book creator. Note how many different eras of The Joker are being represented From Robinson to  Romero, to Adams to Bolland, Nicholson to Dini and Capullo to… are those Heath Ledger's[...]

Leaves a calling card." The Joker? UPDATE: Sigh, yes, of course, it's the Waynes, what was I thinking… And coming for Arrow, a teaser that starts with Solomon Grundy: "Born on a Monday…" Someone else survived the island. Amanda makes an offer. A better use for that clocktower. What is the question you should have asked? Ollie is not the first vigilante. Not all hoods[...]

Come to think of it, one of the first posters to show up at Tea Party protests was a mash-up of Obama and the Joker (the creepy one from the last series of movies.) After all, super-villains must fit a very particular pattern; they have the brilliance and financial backing to rule the world, but are[...]

rex more clearly when the power went out. Also on display was one of the maintenance jeeps – a 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara – just like Dennis Nedry would have used when he tried to escape with the dinosaur embryos, only to have a very cozy encounter with a Dilophosaurus…. There were even a couple of custom[...]

Triblive News is reporting that a 21-year old Carlow University student was arrested, spent 4 days in jail and charged with 8 counts (2 being felony charges) all stemming from his wearing the Heath Ledger style Joker make-up to class.

I spent Saturday at the Central Coast Comic Con and had a lot of fun. Sat next to George Wassil who I'll tell you more about and his book Oh Hell in

" Jake" Gittes (Chinatown), Jack Torrance (The Shining), The Joker (Batman), Col Nathan R Jessup (A Few Good Men) and so many more that I'm sure I've missed someone's favorite. No official word has come out from Nicholson, but a three year absence does add credence to the report. Hollywood is a bit a buzz about[...]

And no, that doesn't work out well either. The Joker, in a flashback story, also flashbacks to his childhood, brought up without parents and an oppressive abusive aunt, giving him the impetus to bring up a gorilla in a much more loving fashion. Again… Creeper #1 also begins with dead parents It's one hell of a trope this[...]

 But there was the first thing, then the final script page, then Brian Bolland's take. Would we get an explanation for why Batman is staring at his glove? Had he picked up a Joker needle?
