Top 5 most wanted Mcfarlane figures based on Batman: Three Jokers

Mcfarlane's line of DC Multiverse figures has been doing really well in terms of adapting recent big Batman stories to figure form with great tales like White Knight, Last Knight on Earth, and the Dark Knights saga all being very well filled out! One tale that came out more recently that I'm hoping to see figure for soon is the amazing Three Jokers storyline. It was a fantastic deep dive into the character of the Joker, and his effects particularly on Batgirl, Red Hood, and Batman himself. So with a smaller cast that could be knocked out in as little as one wave, here is my list of top 5 figures I'd like from the Three Jokers storyline!

Honorable mention: Batgirl
The relationship between Batgirl and Red Hood was one of the most interesting parts of the storyline for me, and I as well loved such a great look for the character! Batgirl was one of the first figures we got in the line, based on her Art of the Crime appearance, but a figure of this design would be very welcome. I really like the full cowl look along with the larger, yellow cape, and this figure would be an easy one for Mcfarlane because I believe they could reuse a lot of their previous Batgrl.



5. Batman
Getting into my actual top 5, Batman is the one I'm starting off with and a character who has received a ton of figures in the line already. The most interesting part of his outfit in this storyline though is that he wears the classic symbol of the bat in the yellow oval, though then does not have the black trunks like his more modern designs. I think we're also still due for a really good basic rendition of Batman, with the closest we've gotten the battle damaged Dark Knights Metal Rebirth version.



4. The Clown
Getting into the Jokers themselves, this is a character whose life in the figure line has been all over the place, but there are three very classic looking renditions in this storyline alone that could appease long time collectors looking for something more basic "Joker." The Clown was detailed as the version from Death in the Family, one of DC's most famous stories and one with major ties to Red Hood.

3. The Comedian
The big shock of the comic came when it was revealed that the Criminal Joker wasn't actually what would be called the "true" Joker, with the Comedian ultimately revealing himself and his motives behind everything that had transpired throughout the tale. It was a great twist, with some major implications for the greater DC Joker mythos as a whole. 

2. The Criminal
Out of the three Jokers to appear predominantly in the story, this is by far my favorite in terms of looks and demeanor. I've always been a fan of the cruel, dark, calculating depictions of Joker and this stoic, stern faced design for the character really resonated with me. I loved the jacketed look, and his deadpan "ha," with the added statement that it hurts to laugh. This is a Joker that made me uncomfortable and I loved that. 


1. Red Hood
If there's one characters design that skews further away from the usual it is the Red Hood. I really like the departure from having the bat symbol on his chest, and just the plain red clothing underneath his jacket which pairs nicely with his red mask. An unmasked head would almost be a must for this release as well, with an awesome bonus being the Jokerized mask from his time being held captive. Red Hood was certainly the heart and some of the best parts of this storyline in my opinion, and with his first comic book release in the line doing really well, I think releasing a second figure of him would be a great choice.
