Prepare for some pure chaos as Mattel continues to expand its new DC Comics Core action figure lineup. Designed primarily for younger fans, the series puts iconic heroes and villains back into the hands of kids while offering plenty of fun for longtime DC collectors. As the DC license transitions from McFarlane Toys back to Mattel, the company is wasting no time building out its roster. Alongside heroes such as Superman, Batman, The Flash, and Green Lantern comes a unique villainous variant: Bat-Suit Joker.

This twisted take on the Clown Prince of Crime features Joker wearing a stitched-up purple-and-green costume inspired by Batman's iconic look. The figure features a wicked grin, a soft-goods cape, and a variety of themed accessories, including Batarangs, a boxing glove, handcuffs, and a bomb. Like the standard Joker figure, Bat-Suit Joker also includes Jokerized faceplates that can be attached to other DC Comics Core figures. With this release, collectors can create Jokerized versions of Green Lantern, Superman, and Batman! The Bat-Suit Joker is scheduled to release in August 2026, and pre-orders are already live for $13.99.
