Prepare for the cupid of crime, puddin'! Harley Quinn is getting her own Mezco figure, and she looks totally adorable. In a homicidal manner, that is.

Question: What happens if you combine a little of the ol’ fourth-wall breaking that Deadpool used to great effect with a great animation budget, an all-star voice cast and some unrestrained mayhem? Answer: You’d probably get DC Universe’s upcoming Harley Quinn animated series, which had a hilarious debut at last year’s San Diego Comic-Con and returned this year for a sizzle reel of craziness that looks like a Gotham City version of a Looney Tunes special.

Based on the first trailer we knew that Todd Phillips' upcoming Joker movie was a comic book origin story unlike anything else we've seen before. Turns out, it's not even a comic book movie.

Much like Superman had done back in 1978, 1989's Batman knew that it needed to cast a big name to give the project an air of legitimacy. Plenty of names may have been thrown into a casting hat, but from day one there was only one actor considered for the role: Jack Nicholson.

Joker, the origin movie about Gotham’s `most infamous villain and Batman’s perpetual arch nemesis is an oddity. It’s a standalone film unconnected to anything else happening in the DC universe, and is a gritty look at how Arthur Fleck (played by Joaquin Phoenix), a “a man disregarded by society”, spirals into madness and becomes one of comic books’ most iconic villains.

The DCEU is changing. Following on from the successes of Wonder Woman and Aquaman, Warner Bros have adapted their plans for the comic book cinematic universe significantly, but they think they've finally found the winning formula.

There’s a metric ton of merchandise available for Harley Quinn, toys that range from all ages acceptable to ludicrously-priced high end art. And if I had to win the Powerball tonight? I’d kinda be willing to add this adorable and amazing work of art to my collection. Like, right in the middle of my shelf. With an armed response team on standby should anyone even think of touching it

According to a new report, the DCEU is getting a major shakeup, including walking back some of the overly-ambitious, premature plans of some of its biggest stars.
