DCUC Joker reveal

AFI has a video up from NYCC. Included are some pics of figures not on display at the booth, including the Wave 10 9 Deadshot and the DCUC Joker, who looks Super Powers-licious. Oddly enough, I think these are the two DCUC figures I’m most looking forward to right now (outside of a black-and-gray Batman repaint with the black bat symbol and a pouch belt).

  1. Joker looks sooooooo good! I can't wait to see better pix of him though. You're not excited for Wave 9? I thought that was pretty cool!

    DCUC Wave 9 better get here fast. I'd like snap up that Mantis variant and Dead Shot. That is if I don't get the Identity Crisis Dead Shot first. DCUC Canary has the same head sculpt as Giganta but the body is very lacking. Pass on that one.

    DCUC Joker looks great and fun which is how the he should be portrayed. But I'm still recovering from Ledger-overload these past 2 years and probably won't bother with any Joker figures for a good long while, if ever again.

    @PT: My mistake, Deadshot is Wave 9, not 10. I am looking forward to wave 9–and pretty much everything else DCUC we've seen.

    I have a Joker-shaped hole in my Batman villain display. Front and center, between Two-Face and the Penguin. Can't wait to get him.

    I wonder if Wave 10 will be a Bat-Heavy wave. Man-Bat's already been confirmed for it, and I'd bet Joker will be in it. Either way, the figures look very good.

  5. Are they increasing the number of figures in each wave to 7?

    Im reading talks of the Joker being part of this years Walmart wave…..that makes me very very very uneasy

  7. How dare you not cover the JLU stuff! That's where my money is going. Great JLU stuff.

  8. @Ed: He better not be in the Wally Wave! Its hard enough finding DCUC in retail as it is, nevermind just one store.

  9. Poe

    @Newt: I don't collect JLU, so I know I wouldn't give it its due. And I feel like JLU is very well covered on other sites, such as AFI and its blogs.

  10. Well Joker as part of the Walmart wave would make sense. Promising them more "recognizable" character to avoid peg warmers would be smart. The Riddler is recognizable but not like Joker is.

    Is anyone else looking forward to a DCUC Martian Manhunter as much as I am? I mean, he's a founding member of the Justice League for goodness sake!
