A good upgrade on the awesome BA clown prince for 5 more points? and they gave him outwit so you don't need to give him armor piercing? very nice. much more playable than the 200 point monstrosity from the main set.

I don't love mastermind on zero range pieces, but this guy's pretty good as is. 6 range would have made him perfect, though.

A great comic representation of the Joker, but I don't see the same character I was watching on screen. Swap Poison for BCF and he'd be a great match for the film. After all, this was the Joker who had "nothing but knives and lint."

Exactly what I thought. Film Joker should have had BCF instead of poison to represent the knife he pulled on Gambol.

The Joker didn't really use any knives though... he just had them... I'd say if u think of it in a different way, Poison could represent his pocket knives just fine.

Which film version were you watching?! He pulls a knife on nearly everyone.

Gambol/Gamble has his throat slit rioght after two goons get stabbed as he pops out from the bodybag.

He stabs Batman with a bootblade and how did the mobile phone get inside that chubby prisoner?

Just sayin'.....

Yep, Joker was a knife wielding machine in the film. And while poison doesn't necessarily "mean" poison (they've used it liberally in the past), I can't justify a start of turn 1 on all adjacent opponents as a knife. Unless he's throwing handfuls of them! I don't have this character, so I'm not sure what they "called" the poison, but based on the film, I simply cannot see it. This seems as if they were looking at the classic "acid shooting flower" Joker rather than Chris Nolan's maniac. Perhaps he should have had another special called "We're gonna hold ... tryouts": when then Joker is adjacent to two or more opposing characters, give him a power action and make an attack roll comparing the roll to all defences. If he hits, place an action token on up to two opposing characters. Damned broken pool cue.

Cool power!

I meant to add, Poison is a good close quarters damage dealer to represent some stabby damage; he's hardly Blade or a swashbuckling mutant elf!

He gets the poison from killing Commissioner Loeb, a bit too much to represent only one of his many kills but oh well, there's many versions of the Joker.

With the Gotham Underworld ATA, his second click gives him Poison, Outwit, and un-Outwittable Mastermind.

Some of the old-timers can tell you how scary that can be...

Why so serious?
