DC Direct Joker: Arkham Asylum


Voiced by famous actor Mark Hamill in the game, Joker was played superbly. An insane, psychopathic mastermind, he has always been Batman's most iconic villain. Although, as a villain the Arkham games perhaps overused him, Asylum gave him the most focused plot role. 

This Joker has tons of great paint from spooky face down to the painted lines of his suit. He even has a real chain link to his pocket watch! 
Though it comes with no accessories, previous iterations of this figure came with the puppet Scarface. Perhaps it will be available on eBay....one day!


Sculpt & Paint: 8/10 Plenty of great paint. Some heaving black shading on the face. Good sculpting, with the back flanges of the suit being of a flexible plastic to allow a bit more backwards leg movement. 
Articulation: 4/10 (+1 for more flexible legs!)  Like others in the line, 13 points of articulation. The hip joints are a bit more flexible due to them being a somewhat limited ball joint perhaps? 
Price/Availability: 4/10 Although you won't find it for under 40$ on eBay and sold out in other online stores, it's not too bad. 
Accessories: 0/10 Zip. Nada. 

Verdict: 16/40 Like many in the Asylum line, heavy on aesthetic, low on playability. Still got some good shots though!

Handsome homicidals weekly #1

Grabby hands!

You know if he's skipping,
something is very wrong
Let's start the show!


You know, Joker takes on Batman hand to hand
in many different media. I wonder what HIS training routine is?

He does win SOMETIMES, ok guys?
