The longstanding feud between Batman and the Joker has been the dramatic core in Batman lore since the very beginning. In the Suicide Squad movie, the two has an oh-so-brief encounter – their first in the recently established DC Extended Universe – leaving fans to speculate and dream about what it would be like when they inevitably clash in future outings.

In the spirit of the movie, the designers at Hot Toys let their imagination run wild, and the result was an intriguing alternative vision of the Joker impersonating Batman, now beautifully realized in the form of a 1/6th scale collectible figure!

The highly stylistic collectible figure is sophisticatedly crafted based on Jared Leto's image as the Joker from the movie, clad in a specially designed, never-before-seen Batsuit in the Joker's signature purple and green colors and decorated with his unique tattoo prints. It also features a masked head sculpt revealing the Joker's sinister grin, 2 blood-stained batarangs, a flag gun, and a Suicide Squad-themed figure stand with character backdrop.

This very unique Joker/Batman collectible figure will be the jewel in the crown of your Hot Toys collection

Looks great... BUT... honestly... how does Hot Toys wish to sell some of those when we didn't even see this one version in the movie????
 
I guess they're looking to use the same tactic like they do with the IM3 House Protocol and all the other 'special' editions they churn out :p

Iron Man has a really strong fanbase... especially in Asia... can't say the same about Leto's Joker...

As strong as the fan base is for IM/Marvel, even the enthusiasm of real diehards is starting to wear thin with the endless variants.

With DC and Suicide Squad I guess HT are looking to focus on something different and expand the fanbase beyond Marvel & Star Wars.
Batman has been done to death with thru Burton Batman and TDK, and Batfleck/Fatman hasn't been very warmly received to date.
So the next best character to focus on I suppose is Joker.
