While this news won't come as a surprise in light of two recent leaks, Joker fans will be happy to learn that the villain has been officially confirmed as a playable character in Injustice 2.

Developer NetherRealm announced the next member of the roster today as promised, releasing a gameplay trailer centered around him. It provides a look at some of Joker's abilities, which lean on various weapons--crowbars, knives, explosives--to mete out punishment to his enemies.

What an embarrassing reveal. His movements and animations are great, but he himself looks atrocious.

Love the traps and deadly arsenals. As per the design I guess they are arranging a crossover between the character in suicide squad and the joker from rocksteady arkham. The

Laughing should be annoying :p that's what makes sanity tick to insanity in the first place.

Don't know who's doing the voice for him but i don't think is Mark Hamill. The voice sounds ok and the laugh sounds very annoy. I don't even like the way he look, they should have use one of his very popular looks in the comic book. To be honest haven't been a fan of many of the characters look especially wonder woman and super girl. Whoever did the characters model for this characters should be fired.

Been a big fan of most of the character reveals so far. Think they've missed the mark with Joker though.

This game looks like hot garbage. I'll stick to the first Injustice game. Way more believable

@7tizz: Yeah the pills, besides Joker has fought hand to hand against Batman many times. Usually he loses because he wants to put up a show, but Joker isn't a noob when it comes to mano-v-mano fighting either. He would beat all Gotham cops in a fist fight. Skilled fighters like Robin are also on his beat list. Batman is different because he masters a ridiculous amount of crafts with 30+ years of experience. Yet in a lucky fight he can go down. Jokers advantage is he is unpredictable so no amount of training prepares you for the next fight against him.

Though sure no matter what painkillers you have, Superman with his otherwordly abilities still feels untouchable. Hulk is pretty much indestructible but even he loses to Superman

@7tizz: In the first Injustice Joker (and some other physically weak characters) take a supplement to give them super strength. That's how they rationalize it.

@7tizz: Actually Joker is physically strong, mostly because he doesn't care about his physical well being. He can take a huge amount of punishment and dish it out just as much through force of will. He can go toe to toe with batman easily and has done so on several occasions.

@7tizz: While you are correct about taller people and such, this is a comic book, and as I said its been confirmed the The Joker has zero concept of self concern. Hell that was translated over into The Dark Knight when batman slams his fist on his open hand, slams his forehead into the desk and then smashes his head into the two way mirror the whole time laughing. The joker does not care about whatever level of pain he is, he can be shot, stabbed, beaten and he will continue to laugh and crack jokes. The Joker has been hit by Bane before, he broke his jaw and nearly punctured an eye when he hit him and the joker started messing with his broken jaw telling jokes.
