The Flash Episode 117 Trickster What You Missed

Did you realize what was going on in this episode?

The actor who played the Trickster is none other then Mark Hamill this is the actor who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 4,5 and 6 He is also going to be in the new Star Wars movie. He also played the first Trickster in 1990 CBS series The Flash. The current Flash series has been produced so well that they knew this and got Mark Hamill to play the role once again. He did a great job. 

One other awesome thing they did in the episode is that the trickers trains a young boy to help free him from prison. Once he is free from prison the Trickster talks to the young man and asks him if he knows why he chose him. The young man doesn't know so the Trickster looks at him and says "I AM YOUR FATHER!" are you freaking kidding me I almost lost it when they let him say that exact line! A few years prior to this Mark Hamill had this said to him by the sith lord Darth Vader!

The Flash keeps getting better and better I am very happy with this series so far. If your not watching it deffinately start!

Let's Play Batman Return Of The Joker

On today's Throwback Thursday Let's Play Landon and Derek play one of the last games made for the NES - Batman Return of the Joker! They face many challenges in this game, none of which more challenging than a ledge.

Batman #38

Jim Gordon is insane and Gotham is alive with laughter.  Far from being jovial, this laughter is tearing the city apart.  It is no longer fun and games for The Joker as Batman tries to stop the virus that is wreaking havoc on Gotham.

Batman issue 38 is part four in the Endgame story arc.  It begins with Batman going to find Jim Gordon. The city is littered with the people of Gotham tearing the city, and each other, apart.  Greg Capullo demonstrates his extreme skill as an artist at this point by portraying every individual with an impressive, and unique, deranged face.  Most followers of the Batman book are familiar with Greg Capullo's artwork and once again the artwork truly stands out in this issue.  All of people in the background are just as creepy as The Joker comes across in this arc.  

The writing might be dry and a bit boring for some.  If you haven't picked up any of the other issues, you might find it hard to follow the dialogue on the virus.  The majority of this issue is devoted to Batman discussing the semantics of the virus and what it is doing to the population of Gotham.  Batman shows his detective abilities here as he's trying to reason his way to find a way to help out the people of Gotham.  

What I enjoyed most in this issue was the discussion with Dr. Dekker about the origins of the virus and Dr. Dekker's tales of ancient Earth.  The story takes on almost metaphysical level here with the mentions of the Lazarus pit and yet another Joker origin story.  I'll keep this spoiler free, but it's worth checking out if you're a fan of The Clown Prince of Crime.  Joker origin stories can usually be taken with a grain of salt.  We've read plenty of them throughout the years.

Five panels towards the end of the issue that left me puzzled, though not in a bad or frustrated way. Rather, I found myself wondering what direction this series will take from this point.  My interest is definitely piqued for the next issue and I am eager to discover what Joker has planned.  How far will Batman go to stop The Joker and will Gotham be able to survive this virus?

The Joker DX08 by Hot Toys

This is the figure that started my collection of Batman figures. The 89 Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson was my all time favorite Batman movie so it was a no brainer to start my collection with a figure inspired by that movie. So here it is my, DX08 from Hot Toys! Let's get right into what you will get. 

Packaging - 5/5 

If you know anything about Hot Toys they have some of the best packaging around for their figures. Below will be some pictures of how my DX08 came packaged. Please note I bought mine used, that is why there are scuffs on the box.

Sculpting & Paint - 5/5

Getting a closer look at this figure there is no doubt as to who this character is modeled after. Both the sculpting and the paint are spot on to likeness of Jack Nicholson. Below will be a few picture illustrating that as well as a comparison picture of Jack Nicholson so you can see how accurate the details are in this figure.

Accessories & Outfit - 5/5

The accessories are what set this figure over the top. From a Joker playing card to Joker stacks of cash. The gas mask and chattering teeth they all are done and made in great detail. 

Articulation - 4/5

This figure has many points of articulation from head, hands, legs even his eyes move. The only knock here for me was some of the points of articulation particularly in the wrists are pretty fragile. This is addressed however because they include these extra joints in the package. With all this being said its a display piece. Not something you're getting out to play with, you pose it and display it. Included in this section is the stand that comes with the figure. The stand includes an LED you can power on to shine up on your figure.

Value - 3/5

Value is tough because Hot Toys are not cheap. This figure was $249.99 at launch I believe and right now valued at over $300. There are sites you can visit where you might be able to find a good deal but watch out for shipping because the packaging is so large the shipping costs turns a deal for $250 to one that's close to $300. 

Overall - 5/5 

All I can say is that this figure is amazing the detail in the sculpt down to the details of all the accessories. You can't go wrong with any Hot Toys figures out there and pending the resent shipping issues I'll have another figure to review for you soon.

Do any of you have Hot Toys figures? What do you think of them?

The Joker Arkham Origins by Play Arts Kai

The Joker Arkham Origins Play Arts Kai Figure was released this month. Square Enix made this figure that takes inspiration from the Arkham Origins game of 2013.

This Joker figure stands at 11 inches tall and is really well proportioned. If you have prior experience with Play Arts Kai figures, you know how well they are made. The Joker figure looks incredible in the packaging and it only gets better once removed from the package, assuming, of course, that you intend to open the figure and display it. By "display," I really mean occasionally taking humorous pictures of them like I do with my figures. If you prefer to leave the figure in the box, it comes with a flap that opens up so you are still able to display the figure.

All Play Arts figures come with a stand, though in the case of the Joker figure it is unnecessary. However, the stand does come in handy when leaving the figure out for display if you are worried about it falling over when left on it's own. I honestly didn't have any issues at all displaying the figure without the stand, and even though I didn't use it, it's a quality stand made of a clear plastic that holds the figure perfectly.  

The figure comes with two additional hands, a head, a gun and a knife. On the Joker figure is the standard smiling Joker face and included in the package is a more stern, sinister looking face. Both look great when added to the figure. The paint job and sculpt is impeccably done on this figure, though I do have a complaint and it's incredibly minor: the smiling Joker face ha a little red paint on the jaw. Honestly, this could just be my specific figure or it could be done by design. To me, it looks a bit off, but it doesn't take anything away from the figure. The head has excellent movement as well and you can swivel from side to side and look down without any issues.

The hands come with a set of closed fists and two different sets one which is used for carrying weapons. The weapons are easy to place in the hands and don't fall off easily, which is one of the main things that I lover about this figure. When I slide the knife into The Joker's hand, I know it is going to stay (which helps when taking hilarious pictures). With other figures, it can be a challenge to keep weapons or other additions in a figure's hands, but this is absolutely not the case with this one. The knife and the gun look great and are incredibly well made. The gun looks little large compared to the rest of the figure, though this is The Joker and he's known for being over the top.

The hands and the head are easy to swap out. It can be kind of intimidating to remove the additional pieces for fear of breaking something, but I find that the figure is built so sturdily that it withstands swapping out of the parts easily. There are joints on the back of the coat that can be arrangeed so that the coat appears to be flapping in the wind, which I really think improves the displaying (and photo taking) possibilities.

Overall, I think this figure is great. Especially for the price. It'll run you around $100 which is steep, but if you ccompare it to the Hot Toys line which run well over $200, it's a good buy. For fans of The Joker and Batman this figure will make an exccellent addition to your collection.
