      Very cool but what's with Joker's "green" suit?

        I think the only thing bad on it is that new DC logo design. Ugh!

          Not to mention that's the "TV" Catwoman. I'm probably in the minority but CTVT's cards have always seemed
          very bland to me. I'm sure they're working somewhat within the new style guide designed by Jose Luis Garcia
          Lopez but I think it could have been a little more "DYNAMIC".

              I like the card. Has that 70's mego vibe to it.

                I never noticed that before. I like the card too, but I agree the TV Catwoman shouldn't be on it. Maybe a prototype card?

                  It's things like that that make my question their attention to detail.

                    Its not CTVT, the pics are straight from the TV show style guide, they are being used on other merchandise, too. Be kind of cool if we got a Clayface from the opening, too.

                      These aren't toys based off the show. Maybe they got a 2 for 1 deal on the licensing.

                        they probably have to use what DC gives them as far as card art. Or these are quicky mock ups for sales.

                          I guess my question is why is the DC-furnished stock art off-model for the show? I see what you're saying about the credits, but the proto sculpt is clearly Romero.

                          Ideally, the retro reissue Joker should be purple, orange, & green; the '66 version should be magenta & green.

                          Why are '66 characters even on the reissue card? I hope this is a mock-up as you suggest.

                            My money's on it not being a mock up. I think it's just cutting corners.

                              I need to turn in my Bat-badge in. I forgot Joker had the green suit on in the animated credits. It's still seems very random for them to base all the 66 Joker style guide artwork on that. Why not just put him in a magenta suit?
