My Collection:DC Comics Batman "The Killing Joke" Joker ArtFX Statue

One of the best things that I own. Based on the iconic cover image of one of comics best stories.This classic Batman story comes to life in BATMAN THE KILLING JOKE THE JOKER! A 1988 graphic novel by Alan Moore and drawn by Brian Bolland, The Killing Joke is a story about Joker and how he came to be the Clown Prince of Crime.

Other than an interesting origin story for him, the book also features one of the most famous scenes in the history of comics: Joker shooting Barbara Gordon, which would in turn lead to her becoming the hero Oracle. Almost as famous as its contents is Joke's iconic cover image, captured for the first time as an ARTFX Statue! Featuring a portrait inspired by the graphic novel cover art coupled with an original pose by Kotobukiya, this new statue brings the maniacal clown to life as you've never seen him before .

The Joker's elongated white painted face leaps right off of the graphic novel cover with its deep laugh lines, left eye squeezed shut, and unruly green hair peeking out from under his hat.

This statue is awesome, I got this Christmas 2013, another wonderful Joker gift for Christmas. This is brilliant, large statue figure of the Joker, straight form the cover of one of me and my girlfriend’s favorite graphic novels. The Killing Joke was the fourth Batman book I bought. I am so so happy with this statue, I have never taken so many pictures of one object before. This is one of the coolest statues I have ever seen. and Thanks to my girlfriend I got it and it has become the biggest highlights of my collection. This statue is directly from the cover of the one of the most prolific Batman and Joker stories. It is a classic and held in very high regard. It is also the definitive Joker story.This statue came in a really nicely designed box. And I couldn't wait to take this statue out for display. It’s fantastic. the face sculpt is amazingly detailed. 


Leaping of the cover of one of the most famous Batman graphic novels of all time. This awesome piece, eye catching. This is more than just a statue, this statue has a motion sensor and flashes with sound.as it the Joker is taking your picture. 

SMILE !

For me, the only off-putting aspect with this statue was the cherub henchmen that was positioned underneath and looking up at the Joker’s crotch. I found this figure to be distracting and takes away from the Joker and this amazing statue. But thankfully this character is optional and I chose not to display it. There is a small bit of a assembling the required. simply placing the crate and the Joker onto the base. And then positioning the camera into the joker hands to hold. Thankfully you can get a close look at the Joker's face before it is hidden by his camera. The motion sensor feature works cool and can be turned of or on by a switch on back of the base. The lamp and the dynamite stick can be positioned where desired. This image is iconic and from one of the best loved Joker and Batman stories ever told.This Kotobukiya display piece is excellent, they are defiantly one of the best and most creative manufactures of collectors display pieces.

This is easily the best statue that I could ever own. I usually just go for figures. My other two statues were accompanied with the Batman Video games. This statue is specialist and superior quality piece. This is amazing statue. The greatest Joker collectors item anyone could ever own. it is an Outstanding and iconic piece.

Keep smiling

My Collection: Batman Arkham Origins Collectors Edition Statue

The Batman Arkham games are excellent. They give players and fans another impressive Batman story, that and along with the closet opportunity most of us will ever to be of being Batman. I’m a fan of these games and the collector’s editions always contain an excellent amount of extras and Batman Arkham Origins Collectors Edition set featured some of the best so far.

I got this from my kid brothers Christmas 2012, the collectors set came in a larger that expected box. My brothers were beaming with excitement on presenting this to me. This set came with a lot of extras including a steel case of the game, three sets of downloadable content, large hardcover art book and Intel dossiers of the eight assassins featured in the game, as well as a copy of their contract. But easily the greatest part of this Collectors Edition is this remarkable statue. It stands at around 30cm tall, with the Batman Arkham Origins logo on the brick wall of the building while depicting the continuing confrontation of two of comic’s greatest rivalries between Batman and The Joker.

The US edition came with a different statue, But if I had the choice I would still chose this one. I love the portrayal in this piece, the in action depiction, the Joker's devilish expression that belies the situation he is in and the overall iconic moment between Batman and The Joker.

I really enjoyed the game and I particularly partial to origin stories. This is not the Origin of Batman, but the origin of all that he has come to be. Taking place before the rise of Gotham’s most dangerous criminals, that storyline showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early crime fighting career that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. The storyline in this game was immense. The comic book joker origin has always been always been mystery, even to himself.. There had been many ties in history to between the Joker and infamous masked criminal named the Red Hood. These elements feature in this story, so it was interesting to see the games take on the Joker’s origin.

A story of firsts; before Robin, before the Batmobile and before a time when Batman could consider Jim Gordon as his ally. This story depicted the first meeting of Batman with the Joker and depicts why the Clown Prince of Crime developed his obsession with the Dark Knight .of all the firsts in the story of Batman Arkham Origins, the meeting of the Joker and Batman is the most anticipated moment of them all. Their first meeting has such a legendary depth. It is an extremely significant encounter as we all know the dynamic between these two comic legends. The Joker is always considered the yin to Batman’s yang. This display piece is befitting in symbolising the facing off of comics and popular cultures greatest adversaries.

Bye for now
