Nightwing and Joker wrap-up series 2, which also included Flashpoint Batman (found him at Target) and the Hal Jordan GL (got him for my birthday).
I’m very excited for series 3, as Lex in his New 52 power armor will be in it, along with…other characters I’ve temporarily forgotten (one of them is Flashpoint-related, I know that much), but will likely pick-up, as I’m enjoying this line.
My fourth Kenner Kyle, after:
Total Justice x2 (one open, one carded)
The Kyle in the GL and Dr. Polaris two-pack that was an exclusive to the Hasbro Collectors site, around 1999/2000.
I’ve mulled the 9-inch JLA Kyle from time to time, but right now, he isn’t a priority.
Coming soon (March, give or take) in the Multiverse line:
He is nice. IDK yet if I’ll grab him, as I still haven’t read the Infinite Frontier Joker series.
The thing that interests me most about that figure is that its a new, vanilla, modern Joker. I liked the Rebirth version from '20 fine (minus the excessive red paint around his eyes), but I’ve found myself in the mood for a new vanilla Joker, so I might pick the IF figure up for that reason alone.
So would I. He’s probably the one who said “Knock-Out Joker? Dude, that’ll warm the pegs. You can pass on him for now and instead, get the Swamp Thing series 2 figures.”
A generic, overall design that isn’t indicative of any one specific story or look. A character’s go-to, regular look, basically.
Granted, the IF Joker has his right eyeball in his left hand, so he is story-specific (well, cover-specific at least, since again, I don’t know the story behind that) to a point.
However, a teeny rotation of the left hand hides said eyeball, and then voila, vanilla Joker.
You can, but you’re missing a lot of really great art by Jorge Jimenez, and some really awesome writing by JT4 in Batman #98
But you should also definitely read IF Joker. And not the new one.
For The Joker being the absolute dead-last Infinite Frontier series I was interested in, I’m rather surprised at how much I enjoyed the first two issues. I hope it gets better and better with each successive issue.
