Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” left a lasting impact on audiences. Sadly, Ledger’s untimely death meant we never got to see where his Joker character could have gone next. Would he have returned in “The Dark Knight Rises” or other DC films like “Justice League” or “Suicide Squad”? The possibilities are endless, but unfortunately, we will never know for sure.
However, a new release from Hot Toys is giving fans a fresh perspective on Ledger’s Joker. The upcoming figure, titled “The Joker (Batman Imposter Version),” takes the iconic character and reimagines him in a customized Batsuit. This unique design, inspired by a custom figure maker named Gino Roberto, combines the twisted nature of the Joker with the iconic imagery of Batman. The result is a truly stunning piece that is sure to catch the eye of collectors and fans alike.
Limited to only 3,000 units and available in selected markets, this figure is set to be a highly sought-after collector’s item. While the price and release date have yet to be announced, fans can sign up to be notified when more information becomes available. The question remains, is this a must-buy for fans of the Joker, or does the departure from the screen-accurate portrayal deter you from adding it to your collection?
