Character:
This Batman & The Joker Collector Set was released in 2008 by DC Direct and is entirely based on Batman: The Killing Joke, the influential graphic novel by writer Alan Moore and artist Brian Bolland.
The Killing Joke is among the best-known stories surrounding Batman and The Joker. Central to the story is The Joker's unsettling conviction that just one extremely bad day is enough to drive any person to madness. To prove this, he targets Commissioner Gordon and his daughter Barbara, after which Batman is once again confronted by his most dangerous adversary.
For this Collector Set, DC Direct developed specially sculpted versions of Batman and The Joker. Both figures are based on the characteristic art style of Brian Bolland and therefore perfectly match their appearance in the original graphic novel.
Batman appears in his classic costume as depicted during his confrontation with The Joker. The Joker wears his striking outfit from the story and comes with several recognizable accessories. In addition to both action figures, this Collector Set also includes the 48-page Prestige Format edition of Batman: The Killing Joke.
The figures are produced in the well-known DC Direct scale of approximately 6.5 to 7 inches and are presented together in a large 4-color window box.
