McFarlane Toys has unveiled a new 7.5-inch statue of the iconic Joker from 'Batman: The Animated Series'. The figure was designed by series co-creator Bruce Timm The new 7.5 inch statue, named “The Joker: Purple Craze” is a part of the company’s DC Direct line. It’s based on artwork by Timm that sees The Clown Prince of Crime holding a Joker themed present. This version is Joker’s updated design from both the underrated gem Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Justice League. While Joker started as this ruthless killer in the first decade of his conception back in the 1940s, later versions of the character found in hit series like Batman 66 made him more out to be a goofball prankster. That stuck until the film Batman and comics like The Dark Knight Returns, both of which came out in the 80s. Thankfully because of those stories, BTAS was able to explore the darker version of the iconic DC villain that fans of the comics love. Read more:
