The Batman Chronicals

If your a follower of the Conventions scene in the USA, you may be familiar with a man by the name of Anthony Misiano.
He is an actor from America who also has a YouTube show, The Reel Butter, but he would be best known for his personification of the Joker, from Batman, known as Harley's Joker. In fact, some have attributed this man to be The Definitive Joker Cosplay.

Now, personally I'm not a die hard Batman fan. My boyfriend James is quite partial to the young Miss Harley Quinn in her various personifications, and because of that I've been exposed to quite a bit of Batman in our relationship. I've also played Batman Arkhamn Asylum (before my game spat the dummy and refused to work...)

Anthony Misiano describes his costume as inspired by the classic Joker and it took 9 months to fully assemble. He also spends 3 hours doing his make up with prosthetics before his costume is complete (I've forgotten the source for that sorry. I think it was in the SDCC interviews).

Anyway, the point of all this introduction is to highlight the fact that there is a not-for-profit webseries on the way, probably in post production now, and from the teaser trailers it looks so amazing!  I believe that the series is going to be something like how Batman and Mr. J initially met.



The summary of the project can be found here.



I actually cannot wait for this!

    1. I'm pretty sure that this series is made by professionals though, it's just not for profit. Not 100% sure on that though, but considering the actors are professionally trained, I'd guessing it would be.

  2. Wow, he looks amazing! Is his mouth naturally that way? My boyfriend said that the Joker's original look is based on a creepy old movie called Mr Sardonicus, he had that unnaturally wide rictus smile.

    Although that particular guy is actually kind of attractive! :P

    1. I think that the double dimples are natural, just enhanced with make up. To be honest that kind of makes me weak at the knees! Needless to say my boyfriend also has similar dimples! XD
      And I've never heard of Mr. Sardonicus, I need to check that out! xxx

    1. Hey Minxie! Thanks for the tag, but I've already completed that tag recently so I don't think it would be ok if I just copied my answers again! Thanks anyway, and I love your blog! xxx
