I believe the one on the left is the original 80's Joker from the Silver/Bronze age with the crowbar, while the one on the right is the "Killing Joke" and beyond Joker that influenced the Modern age late 80's, 90's, and beyond.

I'm not sure if Marvel/Disney are pulling the same nonsense, being a little more lenient(using Hasbro's nerf guns for instance), or just coincidence.

I though even high prices collectibles are restricted from having guns or are they just not allowed to be shown.

I like this black and grey color combination because it looks a lot like the animated series Batman, even the belt gives off that vibe. There is a new blue/grey 80’s Batman that McFarlane just made and that looks just like Neal Adams Batman. Or did that one just get sold out already??

I see no holsters so NO GUNS is a real possibility...

It looks like Year Two Batman and Three Jokers Batman share the same base body. The wrinkles on the suit and the symbol all appear to match up between the two figures.

The Joker on the left is the Bronze Age Joker. He's responsible for "killing" Jason Todd in the story A Death in the Family. Jason Fabok's concept art lists him as the 60's/Classic Joker.

The Joker in the center is the Golden Age Joker. He's known for committing more traditional crimes such as robberies and murders. Jason Fabok's concept art lists him as the Original Appearance Joker.

The Joker on the right is the Killing Joke/Modern Age Joker. As the name implies, he's responsible for paralyzing Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke story. He's also the Joker Batman has fought in recent years. While no one ever explicitly says it in the story, Bruce's conversation with Alfred at the end of Three Jokers suggests that he's the original Joker while the other two are copy-cats that he created.

My assumption is that the Jokers will be a set.

The early listings that first leaked this assortment had each Joker as an individual figure.

Three pack, singles, singles with variant laughing or frowning heads, bronze editions, platinum editions, bloody 2-pack sets with one Joker and one Bat-family member, store exclusives with a deluxe base....

[lowsugar]

I've stopped buying the McFarlane DC MV variants (paint or unmasked head) figures. I'm just now focusing on buying original model/characters.

I'm not really a fan of Joker (only own one McFarlane DC MV from a clearance sale). I saw 2 '66 6" McFarlane Jokers at a Target today and left them on the peg due to disinterest. The 3 jokers is probably a pass for me as well.

I wished they release more female figures. How many WW do we have now? 2 Batgirls? 2 Harley Quinns? 1 Batman Beyond Batwoman? How about Poison Ivy, regular Batwoman, Supergirl, Oracle, Hawkgirl, etc.

I'm glad they're starting to introduce other characters (Dr Fate, Shazaam, etc.) besides Batman and Superman variants.

Give us more variety in characters and more female figures (not just variants of WW) or I'm going to stop buying McFarlane DC MV altogether.

I really want huntress and powergirl and big barda.

[IzzyTipsy]

So overdue for Power Girl.

I like these, but I'll hold off until I see if we get unmasked variants. I so want a Barbara Gordon head.

I'm surprised that middle Joker is Original Appearance Joker, because in the story he was very clearly TDK Joker.

[snake5289]

I'd love to get a Black Canary. I really thought they'd have done one already when they started showing off the Injustice 2 figures.

After her yeah Power Girl and Big Barda are definitely up there. Inque from Batman Beyond would be awesome too.

Agreed somewhat. I have basically quit with legends for almost the same reason and their push of CRT.

Some looks though are Iconic in DC due to nostalgia. I love the KNightfall Batman. Still waiting for a traditional Robin aka Dick Grayson. Would love some silver age stuff, like a Lois and Clark Kent and so on.

I LOVED the DCC Silver Age Superboy and Krypto and so on.

I agree about the traditional and less repaints mostly.

Todd said when he acquired the DC license he could do anything including 1/6 scale. I would love to see if he could do a 1/6 scale Superman. Those 12 inch figures McFarlane did back in the day still look great to this day.

That Batman and 3 jokers have me super excited.

So far they seem impressive. Batgirl and Red Hood definitely reuse parts from their prior figures. Joker seems to share the design style of the Mortal Kombat Joker but I don't see a straight reuse.

I'm sorry, but when the hell did Joker start looking like some horror movie alien? All three of their faces look awkward. Is that really how they looked in the comics?

I'm hoping they use the IJ2 figures to give us Cheetah. My Wonder Women are so alone.

Yes. And Joker's face has been freaky since the 70s at least, if not earlier.

I remember all my early-mid 80s Joker figures had that strange alien giant chin and cheekbones that stick out like wings.

It's not the chin I'm referring to, it's the wrinkles in the four head, the bloated cheeks, and the black beady eyes.

I think the middle one is supposed to be an older man. At least he seems to be treated as such in the comic.

But there are a couple of the newer comics where they are just trying to do this older looking style (like Brian Azerrelo's "Joker" and "Absolute Luthor/Joker") and that's what we wind up with. Hell, in "Absolute Luthor/Joker" Luthor looks like he's in his sixties he's so wrinkled.

No guns seems to mean no guns. There hasn't been a "premium figure" that includes one, and I wouldn't expect that to happen. Thomas Wayne was the last to make it out, and even his unmasked second version took away the guns and gave him a sword. No sci-fi ray guns, no guns of any kind. I don't think we'd even see a cold gun with a Mr. Freeze at this point. Bloodsport's weapons generally didn't look anything like a real firearm, and they couldn't include any of those. The Dark Knight Returns Batman includes an alternate trigger figure hand that makes me think he was supposed to include his sonic gun like previous versions had, but McFarlane had to 86 it.

That Batman looks really great... If it had the black trunks, it would be my definitive Batman figure.

Unmasked Thomas still has his guns but that figure came out a good while ago now, from before this policy was actually in practice.

The unmasked tom wayne actually did have his guns.

[juggernaut209]

Then I guess he is the last one. Maybe it's the single packed rerelease Red Hood who had them stripped the second time around.

Yes, the gold label Red Hood had his guns taken away and instead he includes a crowbar and two (admittedly neat on their own) swords.

[jwyss234]

Official pics via Walmart. None of the figures are available to order just yet. The listing for The Comedian hasn’t been found just yet.
