It's not a bad time to be a gamer and a DC superhero fan. Last year's big-budget epic Batman: Arkham City is still making waves thanks to the recent Wii U port and rumors about a Silver Age-inspired prequel . DC's next major video game project is Injustice: Gods Among Us, a fighting game from Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios.

DC Collectibles is targeting fans of both games with a pair of spring 2013 releases. The first is a statue based on Joker's look in the two Arkham games. Like the Harley Quinn statue previously revealed , Joker is painted in a unique two-tone design.DC Collectibles' Facebook page says Joker will be released in May 2013. No other details were provided, but based on the Harley statue we expect him to measure roughly 9-10 inches tall and cost $125. It's probably safe to assume other characters will join Joker and Harley in this line as 2013 progresses. For those who don't feel like waiting for a new Batman statue, the one included in the Arkham City Collector's Edition should match these pretty nicely.For Injustice, DC announced a new series of action figures based on the character designs from the game. Similar to the Green Lantern John Stewart vs. Red Lantern Atrocitus set sold at NYCC, these 3 3/4-inch figures are smaller and more articulated than regular DC Collectibles figures. Series 1 will consist of a Deathstroke vs. Green Arrow set and a Wonder Woman vs. Solomon Grundy set.No images were provided of the latter set, but expect both to be made available online and in comic shops in April 2013. Each set will retail for $30.
