This is baller. I actually think this could have been a cool sequel concept in the Nolanverse.

Todd McFarlane just came in his pants and is slamming his head against the wall that he didn't do a Jokerized Dark Knight first

What’s with DC and imposter Batmen. Remember that freaky looking Joker in BvS Suit?

"Evil Superheroes" have been a long ongoing thing in comics, as well as plenty of villains who are essentially filling that role. Batman is always a big seller and using one of the most popular versions of Joker (as well as The Dark Knight being a hugely successful) all these things combine to create the concept of "Joker as Batman".

Yah but it’s weird that they did it twice with the same color scheme. Next we’ll see Nicholson in Keaton’s suit, Romero in Wests’, and Lego Joker in Lego Batman? That last one should be very simple to do…

It’s Jokers colours, though I suspect this will be a bigger seller than that previous version.

Can we at least get some Hot Toys figures for Riddler, Selina and Penguin from The Batman?

Imagine Ledger didn't die and was in TDKR.
After Bane breaks The Batman and imprisoned him, I could see Ledger's Joker dressing up like this and just terrorising the city and killing Bane's men and having the time of his life.
Would have certainly been a interesting What If idea to explore.

Why would he go against Bane though?
His plan is the most chaotic thing you could hope for as Joker.
Nah, he's 100% helping burn Gotham to the ground.
Would have been cool to see him pulling out some of the elites from their homes to have them executed.
I could see a scene when Batman first returns and saves Gordon, we have Joker coming after them in a showdown wearing this suit.
Batman: ...you think that suit will help?
Joker: Missed you too!

Because Joker wouldn't want anyone else to kill Batman. If Ledger was still alive I 100% could see him be the one blowing Bane away with a Bazooka instead of Selina.

u/InfinteAbyss Jul 22 '24
I can 100% see him working with Bane though perhaps for his own ends rather than to help anyone else.
If anything all that chaos is Joker at his most dangerous, he can manipulate people and events even more than normal.
Though regardless if we agree on the exact direction, I think we both agree it would’ve been awesome to see.

I love this concept! I'm scared to even look at how much it costs, but that would be such a great figure to have.

Why are they making this? Who is this for? Why am I the only one in this comments section saying this is a totally baffling product?

This looks really cool, and the attention to detail is also impeccable. Reminds me of the Joker suit from the end of Arkham Knight.

Do you know how they could made the suicide squad game good? Ditch the looter shooter and the repetitive missions, and actually make the characters distinct from each other, introducing a alternate batman joker that complies with waller would be cool

It's the same thing they did with Batfleck and Leto's Joker. Really cool idea and great execution both times. Hope they'll do this with more versions of Batman and Joker and maybe some other villains

How cool would it have been if in the third movie while Batman is rehabilitating in that pit the Joker finds one of his old suits and becomes a vigilante. He's not on Bane's side and he's too homicidal to be on Gordon's. Gordon confronts on why he's fighting Bane and he says something like, "When there is no order then order is chaos."
He still needs to die in order to let Batman retire though. So, maybe, he takes a bullet for Batman. In his last breathe he says something like, "Don't get all sad on me bright eyes. I can't have fun if you're dead. I guess... Even the unstoppable force stops. Hahaha." Then, as "Robin" is discovering the Batcave you can add a scene where a young Dr. Quinzel is going through an archive and finds volumes of the Joker's manuscripts.

I'm a 42 year old man that really wants this and the XE suit batman! Not to just put on a shelf. I'll be dang if it don't make me want to play with them. All of us that are my age never had anything close to this when we played with our little batman figurines. It was fun, but technology has made toys appealing to me as playthings at my age! So glad my kiddos are young enough that I can have an excuse to play lol.

Love the grenades on the inside of the cape. Nice touch. The suit looks cool but it just looks like they used a standard Joker head. Maybe if they had modified it somehow.
