Batman fans lose it over Joker's return in surprise new Dark Knight release

In a bizarre turn of events, the Joker has made a return as we have never seen him before in this surprise new Dark Knight release.

Depending on who you ask, Heath Ledger’s Joker is often considered as one of the best villains of all time and I am inclined to agree.

Check out the trailer for The Dark Knight below!

Taking on the role of the DC supervillain in 2008’s The Dark Knight, the Joker was Ledger’s last role before his untimely death but his performance is still considered as one of the best of all time.

That is why it is unsurprising that Hot Toys has released a brand-new collectible figure which sees a ⅙ scale of the “Imposter Joker”.

"Prepare for a mind-bending twist on the Clown Prince of Crime!” The description reads.

“Casting aside his classic look, the designers at Hot Toys have manifested a captivating new interpretation – the Joker, donning the very mantle of the Dark Knight himself.

Introducing our Artisan Edition of The Joker (Batman Imposter Version) 1/6th scale collectible figure that blurs the line between hero and villain."

Inspired by his look in The Dark Knight, this figure comes in at roughly 12.2” tall and features 30 points of articulation.

The figure depicts the Joker but this time he is decked out in a batsuit coloured with his signature colours: purple, green and red.

Featuring a fabric cape, wool hair, a themed base and plenty of accessories such as guns, Joker cards and grenades, this will be the perfect collectible for fans of Batman or DC in general.

The Hot Toys exclusive figure is set for a Q4 2024 release and will be available in select markets.

Additionally, it is limited edition so make sure you keep an eye on the listing if you don’t want to miss out.
