  • one question: is the one playing the Joker on this, Mark Frost - the one who plays the joker on the Batman live shows? or is he a different actor?

  • Terry-Oh come on, it's schway!

    Bruce- It's scwarbage...

  • The guy who plays the Joker in the press previews ( Garry Lake) actually plays two-faced in the live shows.

  • and where is two-face

  • And Scarecrow?

  • Two things, one: did catwoman whip joker on he's back leg o.O two: love joker and riddler ^.^

  • Jokers laugh makes me LOL! XD i must say, i wish batman live could come to my school XD

  • Oh. My.God

    the guy who does the Joker is just AMAZING!!! 

  • I SO look forward to this! Only after those 6 minutes this guy is my favorite Joker. And the Riddler looks as if he can be good enough too! Hope they put a fair amount Gorshin-style into him!

  • I just saw the show in Nottingham and it was fantastic. The actors playing the Joker and Harley were brilliant. Harley steals the show to be honest.

  • this looks pretty cool :D but I don't really like the look of the Joker :/

  • good as its gonna get. i can imagine it must be very hard to come up with a scary while human joker. i like the loom of this

  • Everyone looks terrific

    but....Harley looks ridiculous

  • those pants are a little too baggy on cat woman :(

  • Oh my God, this looks great, even if the Joker doesnt quite meet at my standards, if that makes sense.

    Can I still get tickets for London?

  • If u dont like it dont go fucking see it and keep your hard ons for the Dark Knight Rises

  • HQ Looks fucking AWFUL.

    Who made THAT decision? lol

  • Fucking love this penguin.

  • Joker was amazing! Penguin looks perfect too!

  • Nolan has corrupted all of you!!!!

  • Well, at least he's got the nose right haha (the Joker). It doesn't look that bad. In my experience, plays can seem pretty corny. That is really the only thing a play based on Batman could be in my opinion. If it was played too straight it might seem just as ridiculous.

  • i could have done a better joker!!

  • @mzie25 imagine if it was the arkham asylum joker - lol at all the families complaining

  • Ugh... this is pretty freaking terrible. It's so corny. And not GOOD corny, youtube fan-made video corny... the kind of corny where they try to be cool but fail miserably.

  • I hate when the press doesn't appreciate a good actor like that of The Joker

  • WTF?!?!?!?!

  • WOW POISON IVY LOOKS OLD LIKE AT LEAST 45! WOW AND SHE LOOKS RIDICULOUS WAVING HER ARMS! THIS SUCKS!!!!!!

  • @Abriggs500 shes 23.

  • THIS JOKER SUCKS AND LOOKS LIKE BEETLE JUCIE!!!!! FAIL!

  • Well, well!

    I don't know yet if I like these figures, how thei're presented etc.

    And I definately hate the idea to bring in Robin!

    But all in all, it is a stage show and so I think I should wait with complaining till I saw the whole show

  • That bloke makes a tremendous Joker, looking forward to this immensely.

  • @ MissReige sorry I'm like totally aware of how awful that sounds but you know just airing my point and sorry there are so many spelling mistakes it's because of the auto-correct on my iPhone xx and I'm still going to go see batman live because it looks amazing I'm just not in love with Harley and Ivy's costumes because I love the bruce timm design and I think they really should have kept that one for the live show:)

  • @MissReige my visions ok thanks very much but if you actually havnt already notices that's a damn preview it hasn't actually gone 'live' yet and no ivy doesn't always look like that and If you actually read any comic boon with the joker and ivy in it you will actually find he hates ivy, yeah well all know he doesn't love Harley but he cares about her a hell of allot more about her than he dose ivy

  • this id f£$king clown shoes

  • Got my tickets! Can't wait! :D

  • Where is Harvey Dent?!

  • @Fred1839302 he is in it according to the website

  • This BATMAN LIVE is totally AWESOME and im looking forward to see it because I was a BATMAN fan since I was a little kid... =)

  • WTF HAVE YOU DONE TO HARLEY'S OUTFIT!! It was fine the way it was! I feel like I've been knifed! Ivy looks like a stripper!! And the joker paid more attention to ivy than Harley and that's freaking wrong!! They hate eachother! Did these people not read comic books really??!! I hope this gets changed before it hits the stage because seriously it doesn't look to good!!!

  • @XxHarleyQuinn27xX Do you have eye problems? It was already on a stage, lol. Ivy looks like how she always has, and the jury's still out on whether Joker gives a shit about Harley at all, him being a psychopath and all...

  • Oh, my LORD...Poison Ivy isn't a beauty-queen...that entrance was just goofy! Michelle Pfeiffer made Selena sexy in the context of the movies - anyone else who licks their hand just looks odd...

  • Oh joy and Robin ios aboard, I'm surethat won't contribute to the camp-factor at all... Riddler's costume was allright though.

  • Interesting and I would like to see it. But, Harley and Poison Ivy don't walk like pole dancers. Take a look at the Batman Animated Series from the 90's (still the best Batman on screen) Harley was created for that show, she should have a bouncy skip and should act like an excitable love struck little girl for Mr.J. she shouls also be in her traditional red & black costume.

  • What the hell did they do to Harley's costume!?!?!?!??! AHHHHHHHHH!

  • The actor who plays the Joker is very good and I'm sure kids will go crazy after seeing this. It's very "Joel Schumacherish" but somehow it works. I'm positively impressed.

  • When I saw the pictures yesterday I thought this was going to bomb bad, it can either be a total fail or a totally awesome show.

    I love this Joker he really sold me on the show, I thought he was going to be different because of the pics. But he's totally working the character and making a new page in a very epic history of a comic book character.

  • This preview cinched it for me, I really want to see this now. Except when I saw Batman and Robin running up I kind of had to try and not laugh.

    Aside from a few things to say about the costumes it looks like its going to be awesome.

  • Whoa, first that weird S&M nurse outfit and now this weird ballerina/Pippi hybrid. What's with all the weird Harley Quinn redesigns lately? The classic BTAS costume was perfect, why change it?

    Anyway, aside from that this looks decent. Joker seems good, he seems to have gotten the body language and voice right. I also detect a bit of Romero and Hamill in his performance which is neat.

  • Why is Harley a ballerina/birthday party clown?

  • What's Pippy Long Stockings doing in a Batman musical?

    It's Harley?

    ...

    FAIL

  • @EvilLittleHarlequin I think the real fail here is how die hard a fan you are of one of the least interesting villains in Batman's rogues gallery

  • @wwe2dragon one of the least interesting? Too bad she's one of the most popular considering the fact she had her own comic series and when it comes to female batman villains she is the most cosplayed.

  • For crying out loud, kiddies. There IS a life outside the Dark Knight. Check out some of Mark Hamill's work in the animated series and THEN bitch about this show.

    The only thing we should be crying about however is Harley's outfit. That design must be burnt at the stake.

  • Aside from the overly dark and realistic Nolan films ( which are cool BUT..)

    These are THE perfect representations of all the characters straight from the comics of 70 yrs!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hmm, I'm not sure about this Joker. It's a big part to play, this is the kind of character who is larger than life, commanding any room he enters.

    This guy just hasn't got that kind of presence, although I appreciate that he's channeling lots of different Jokers.

  • Holy Crap that Joker actor is Awesome!

    the costumes look off, but it's a live show, so i don't think there's much to expect.

  • Muhh, Harley's outfit...not diggin it. :/

    As for Mistah J, the laugh, the voice, the mannerisms, it's all brilliantly fantastic.

  • This Joker has a great Laugh...

  • This looks pretty good.

  • Isn't this for kids? Many little boys are gonna get boners from Poison Ivy and Catwoman, I bet..

  • I don't blame the actor, I blame the writing. I didn't like this version of the joker. It felt like a generic comic book villain/professional wrestler. Where's the comedy? And I mean the joker brand of comedy.

  • This must be one hell of a show! The actor playing Joker does a brilliant job, and all the characters are done well. A live performance featuring the most important figures of the Batman universe. Really great idea.

  • I really don't like that weird repetitive movement Ivy is doing with only her left arm. :c

  • i guess im so used to the animated joker with mark hamill that i cant appreciate this one? im used to him being more... charismatic? with crappy humor that swings left and right? im not sure.

    not gonna say that im not enjoy watching this though. itll be kickass no doubt.

  • Finally, back to camp! I love the grittier Bats, but really, he's a grown man who puts on pointy ears and a cape and fights crime with a bat-shaped robot car. How serious can you really get?

  • I got goosebumps. The Joker is good! I saw some Ceaser Romero, some Jack Nicolson and some Heath Ledger in his brief appearance. Isnt that what you would want anyway? For mass appeal you have to draw upon what the GP already knows and build from there.Next year when this hits the states I hope it lands at least within a hundred miles of me.

  • Watching Poison Ivy's arse makes me realise that nay-sayers are wrong in saying this is for kids!

  • This looks awesome!

    Love that Joker!

  • One of the Best Jokers. I do need to see this show live. I do hope it comes to Canada. Awesome Villians. Batman and Robin look coo!

  • So, they got Joel Schumacher back?

  • Comment removed

  • Poison Ivy sure does have a nice ass!

  • @fett02 catwobiatch too !

  • I want that Riddler suit

  • When I saw the picture, I had my doubts ... but now, listening to that magnificent Joker (this is true, maintains the aura of maniac terror that characterizes him), I think it will be well ... on the other characters are good characterizations....

  • Looking good, actually. Better than I expected. It walks the fine line between cool and camp by having Batman's crazy rogue's gallery mixed up, and it succeeds.

  • I have a couple of problems with this.

    Harley's costume. It's just horrible. There's nothing wrong with her classic suit! And why the dyed hair in braids? And heels? Yuck. No need for that. Big minus.

    The other being Joker's presentation of Ivy. Where's the hatred, maybe sarcasm towards her? He's not supposed to look attracted to her, and that's exactly what he did. He gave her more attention than his own girl, and that's bothering.

    Only one who I liked was the Riddler. He looked... himself.

  • @atemuamadare Agreed. Joker and Ivy usually can't stand each other, lol. And eww and Harley's costume change. :(

  • The best Batman there ever was the one in the 1941 movie serial. Discuss. (5 marks)

  • We really should only have been able to see the outline of 'The Batman', it makes him much more ferocious, that way.

  • WOW this looks great!

  • Some of you sound idiotic. The only character to talk was The Joker and imo, the actor sounded great. Joker didn't have a voice until there were movies and tv shows of Batman, so what do you expect? This was 6 minutes of an introduction to a 2 hour show and you're already complaining?! There's nothing wrong here. It looks like you're complaining cause the characters look like themselves. Harley is the only one who looks nothing like herself though. You all need to calm down and STOP whining

  • @wwe2dragon THANK YOU! Do they not read the awesomeness that is the Batman comics. And what is with the Robin hate?! Because Nolan left out a robin in his films we gotta leave him out of everything?! Fuck that Robin is the shit and Batman wouldn't be the same without him!

  • @Sleepinglion6987 Exactly

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @aklashpahk Just stick to watching Nolan's Batman films then

  • I guess the riddler and penguin are okay and joker... maybe but the girls....

    NOOOOOOO!

    Harley looks like peppi whats her name, poison ivy just looks like a tramp and catwoman.... I don't know I can't go all the way as a sexist.

  • Joker's right.

  • At least the Bat-villians got a better deal than the Sinister Six did in the Spiderman Musical

  • Ivy and the Joker aren't even suppose to like eachother. And a plastic little covering doesn't do her justice as a costume.

    And oh man, Harley. REALLY? I mean, really? You thought that was a good idea? I want to punch you in the face. AT LEAST MAKE HER BLOND. Dammit.

    Acting wise, I enjoyed Joker's monologue (aside for some faults). I really disliked the whole Ivy thing, since she literally looked like she was trying to make a (failed, at that) attempt of a belly dance sort of strut.

  • Eh. I'm not liking Harley's outfit one bit nor The Jokers'. I also find it very odd, how the Joker is not referring to Ivy how he normally would: cold, seething hatred.

    Not many hopes for this.

  • Sold!

    

  • This looks like it will fall into the cheesy but fun side of things.

    And I love me some comic superheroes but what is up with turning them into stage shows?!

  • This Reminds me of Joel Schumacher's batman films :O God no :/

  • @AvaTom182 The only thing I'd credit him with is giving the characters' looks a mix of originality and what they're known for (aside from nipples). Other than that, get over it

  • The guy deos at least channel Mark Hammil's Joker pretty faithfully

  • just remember that is only a preview of the show so even though that may be a bit shoddy doesnt mean to say that the show itself will be rubbish to me ive been waiting a long time to see this so i cant wait to :D

  • i dunno looks pretty good to me, id go see it, after all nothing can be as bad as the spiderman monstrosity in new york at the mo!!

  • Ivy was swimming through the air. 

  • Ehhhhhh......I'm not liking this Joker very much. I'm getting a watered down Hamill impression with hints of Ledger.

    And what the hell is Ivy doing with her arms?

  • I'm sorry, but this looks terrible. I really hope that this was nothing like the show will turn out to be. It looks like they just took every bad Batman cartoon episode and just made the characters cornier and stuck them on a stage. It takes more than sounding slightly similar to the joker and looking hot in spandex to play a good villain.

  • @grnday11700 So in other words you don't want them to look anything remotely like they're suppose to? Cause your comment made no sense. What do you want them to do? Look nothing like the characters but be the characters? Would you rather have Joker wear all black and no facepaint?

  • @wwe2dragon Their looks don't matter, as long as they're close to how the characters are supposed to look. Every version of the Joker, for example, has looked different, but they've all had something in their looks that link them together and makes people go "Oh, look, it's the Joker!" Im just confused as to why it doesn't seem like many of them could act, or the directing was just a little odd. I'm with atemumadare on liking the Riddler. He was the only one that really seemed like his character
