I'm back from San Diego Comic Con and had the most amazing time - I'll be writing a full report over the next few days.

One of the highlights was definitely the screening of Under the Red HoodI wish I had the energy to give this a decent, detailed review right now. But there are dozens upon dozens of those already out there on the internet, what ( Read more... )

I'm currently wrestling with livejournal gallery to get a new Artists Spotlight Feature up ( it's been a while...) but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you this totally awesome article I just read.

Is canonically incorrect on a couple of things to do with The Killing Joke, but is otherwise awesome.

HEATH LEDGER IS NOT THE BEST JOKERI should ( Read more... )

Well, it's time for the next dish-up of the grab-bag reviews and I decided to keep an animated-verse focus for this lot ( Read more... )

Penciller: Tim Harkins
Inker: Rick Burchett
Colourist: Linda Medley

IT'S STILL THE 3OTH! I CAN STILL KEEP MY PROMISE OF TWO REVIEWS A MONTH!

Though I really did procrastinate.

Anyway, it's probably no big secret that I love the work of Ty Templeton. Not least because he kindly gave Harley my real name as an alias one issue. ( Read more... )

Writer: Kelley Puckett
Penciller: Mike Parobeck
Inker: Rick Burchett
Colourist: Rick TaylorThis is another cracktastic gem from the vaults of the animated titles; a classic Joker story that hearkens back to some of the whackier plots of the silver age whilst still retaining the noir-ish feel of the animated series ( Read more... )

Artist: Mike Parobeck
Inker: Rick Burchett I want to even out the DCAU reviews to the DCMU ones, but nearly all of the Joker stories are written by Ty and Dini and I don't want overclog with the same writers just yet. So boy, how can I NOT review this one? Joker isn't really the star, it's far more Harley's story, but it's ( Read more... )

Nabbed via hyper_neko5. I've bolded quotes that particularly resonated with me.

As Newsarama reports, they talked quite a bit about Joker (and his past and future titles, as well as TDK) at DC's Batman panel at Comic Con today, and I thought I'd post those parts here ( Read more... )

PART SEVEN: TWISTED DOMESTICITY

The Batman Adventures vol 2 #16 - The Bride of The JokerThis incredibly cute and twisted issue of the second volume of the Batman Adventures REALLY took this relationship to a different place ( Read more... )

Writer: Grace Randolph
Artist: Dario Brizuela
Colourist: Heroic AgeAh, another cracktastic effort from the DCAU world! Justice League Unlimited is the book to accompany the animated series of the same name, in which Joker only appeared… hrm… twice, I believe (and utterly awesome appearances they were!). And then they had some kinda Bat Embargo ( Read more... )

Writer: Ty Templeton
Artist: Rick Burchett
Inker: Terry Beatty
Colourist: Lee LoughridgeI’ve mainly done DCMU (mainstream) reviews thus far, which I must amend quickly because with the DCAU books, whilst not as plentiful with the Joker stories, the ratio of good J stories to bad is significantly higher than that of the mainstream books ( Read more... )
