Article from IGN

I'll be honest if someone didn't tell me this was supposed to be The Joker I would think its Skullface from MGSV. Anyways yeah this is Tetsuya Nomura's take on the Joker and its not that surprising considering his Batman and Catwoman designs. I have no clue why he looks to have additional mech arms except Nomura got him confused with Dr. Octopus. There is also a figurine of Mr. Freeze that looks more like the Arkham Knight.

Replace my head if old.

Came in expecting Persona 5. I leave disappointed.

Spoiler

Nomura's P5 would be quite something...

 

[SpaceWolf]

...why does he have breasts?

 

[udivision]

Joker Cloud? Interesting.

 

[wmlk]

Love the Joker with Cloud's hair. I know, it's a bit different.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

Yo that wonder woman in the background looks sweet though.

 

[FataIChoice]

Second head from the left is Final Fantasy as fuck.

 

[Lulubop]

Make it canon

 

[JayEH]

Looks like Skullface

 

[SatoAilDarko]

The standard head and hat are much more suited to Scarecrow.

 

[Plywood]

I feel like Nomura just says fuck it and does whatever he wants.

 

[James Scott]

Why does he have a scarecrow and cloud head?

He even has a head that look like the old school Red Hood helmet but with a "grinning" crack.

 

[Plywood]

Are we sure it's Cloud and not just Prompto with Cloud hair?

I don't think Nomura knows what Batman is. I think someone just vaguely described some Batman characters and he tried to guess at what they looked like.

 

[Gbraga]

Nomura needs to get his vision checked.

Orrrrr he is putting his own spin on things. Whats the point of having a famous artist with a distinct visual style adapt other characters if theyre not going to reimagine them in their own way?

If you want a Batman figure that looks like regular old Batman there are plenty of options available.

I don't entirely disagree, but I also think that there is no human being on this earth who would think that Nomura's Catwoman is Catwoman without having been informed as such.

 

[KZXcellent]

Reminder that this is Nomura's take on Batman.

 

[meltingparappa]

Here's a Two-Face Batman from the same line, although I don't think this is Nomura's doing.

Yeah looks closer to scarecrow, it's nothing like joker

 

[ponpo]

This is also at NYCC

It's done by Hitoshi Kondo. He too is making a Joker figure. Think he's just making an entire line of Villains-as-Batman.

And then there was the other Play-arts Kai Joker figure they did awhile back - http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-KAI-8315

 

[Inuhanyou]

7 'replaceable' heads OP

 

[Tizoc]

Soooooooooooo he's basing it off Hazama from BlazBlue

 

[Ducktail]

I feel like Nomura just says fuck it and does whatever he wants.

LMAO. Yup, that's what I get from his Play Arts takes.

 

[AzureFlame]

What the hell, that's Skull Face ..

 

[Huge Succeeded]

uh yeah I think the one pictured is actually a scarecrow head
I mean unless I'm just crazy I think a couple of these heads are supposed to be the heads of other batman villains. that one with the mask, ain't that mr. freeze?

I really like those two joker heads pictured below, cloud hair actually works on the joker wtf
