Love That Joker - Animated Dark Knight Returns Pt 2, Harley's Joker Web Series, Killing Joke Statue & Sideshow 12'" Figure

Part 2 of DC's animated adaptation of Frank Miller Dark Knight Returns is available today on DVD/Blu-ray. Joker is the featured villain of the second half of the story and he's voiced by Michael Emerson this time. Which is a pretty cool choice - even if I can never help feeling the Joker's voice is just not right in these animated offerings when it's not not Mark Hamill's.

Here are a couple of Joker-centric clips via Batman-News.com.

The incredible (an yes - I'll say it - THE BEST) Joker cosplay artist Harley's Joker will be playing
the Clown Prince of Crime in The Batman Chronicles - a web series seeking fan support at Indiegogo.
Check out the teaser and give the project your support if you can.

 ...and lastly here are a couple of upcoming must have Joker collectibles.

I saw this impressive Kotobukiya statue based on The Killing Joke on display at NYCC back in October.
It was large and highly detailed - but I had no idea it also includes awesome light & sound features.

And the 1/6th DC Comics likeness Joker Action Figure from Sideshow...

... just looks incredible.
