1/6 Suicide Squad - 1/6th scale The Joker (Arkham Asylum Version)

[Brainiac]

It's a case of 'Damned if they do, damned if they don't"!
If DC had done the 4 or 5 movies, they would have been accused of copying Marvel – so they try to be different and they're still lambasted!
Personally I like what DC have done... let's face it, the characters (for the most part) are so well known, they don't need esablishing like the individual Avengers do... Everyone knows Batman and Superman! I also like that they've set a different tone for their universe... it's more realistic (if a CB can be such) and shows the consequence of these characters and the powers they have, as opposed to the MCU's which seems A-Team-like at times. Plus, if the DCEU and the MCU were to mirror each other for tone etc. the average movie goer would start to lose interest in the genre, and most likely would confuse the two universes – my missus, for example, neither knows nor cares that Batman and Spiderman are not in the same universe. It's like any genre... The Shawshank Redemption is a great prison film, but so is Stir Crazy... we need diversity in the genre or it will die!

True, they'll always face comparison in what they do, which is why they probably went with the darker more realistic tone, but even in that they face criticism and comparison to the MCU movies. It can come down to how well they want to do at the box office too.

For example, BvsS suffered from bad reviews because it was dark, boring, not a very well structured plot. Maybe it wasn't because it was realistic but people compared it a lot to other superhero movies, the most recent one being an MCU movie, which most if not all of the general audience enjoyed, and by comparison BvsS didn't match up, so the DCCU suffers sometimes by choosing that tone, it doesn't always work with their characters. Now if you ask me, Suicide Squad looks more fun, less dark and moody so I think general audiences will like it a lot, and I would like to save my judgement on the DCCU until I see a non Snyder movie because I think it will be a lot better

but for the most part I agree, we need diversity

The DCEU will have it's lighter films too... the Flash for example will always be a lighter, more humours character. Suicide Squad will have a lot of dark humour, just as I expect Dr. Strange will be a lot darker than the rest of the MCU... at least I hope it is.

Yeah definitely. We haven't seen much of the DCCU so after Suicide Squad and some more films we can start to get a sense of it as a whole. Right now we just have two movies, both directed by someone who makes dark, bleak, serious movies.

I expect Dr. Strange to be darker as well and more serious. I'm excited for that and SS this year

I'm not going to pre-order this version of JOKER even if HT doesn't announce the purple coated version at SDCC, doesn't worth the price
Good sculpt though, just not attractive enough, and as for the amount of accessories and the figure itself that so called LIMITED EDITION...mehh you can limit this as many as you want Hottoys

yeah this is as barebones as it gets, I might grab it on sale, or when it opens up to my LCS being able to order it

 

[Buttmunch]

He does come with a chair and backdrop at least

A Truly barebones figure would just be a normal stand, like Quicksilver

 

[King T'Challa]

Well, just noticed that he's wearing a moccasin. He's not barefoot.

 

[Captain Clown]

He should come with that teddy bear on the table.

 

[LipSmack]

He should come with that teddy bear on the table.

thatll be included in next years Dr. Harleen Quinzel comic con exclusive

 

[King T'Challa]

but Quicksilver has 6 more hands

 

[Brainiac]

I'm hoping we get Dr. Quinzel and that she'll come with the table, another chair and the extras since it will just be a plain clothes figure.

 

[Brainiac]

Osito reference?

 

[MikeyTheKid]

I'm hoping we get Dr. Quinzel and that she'll come with the table, another chair and the extras since it will just be a plain clothes figure.

I hope so I will really tie this figure together and it would be the origin of Harley.

 

[Captain Clown]

Dr. Quinzel and Joker sitting at a table with that Arkham backdrop would be an awesome display.

 

[Brainiac]

I hope so I will really tie this figure together and it would be the origin of Harley.

[King T'Challa]

Osito reference?

Maybe this lol

yeah i dont see any cards

I dont know why HT is giving us this card with this figure and I hope that it doesnt show up in the movie. Its just stupid to think about Joker and Harley Quinn taking pictures to put on a card lol. This figure is perfect already, dont need that weird thing

 

[Brainiac]

Maybe this lol
