Will Gotham get a Female Joker?
Before getting into this article, beware!!! Huuuge spoilers will be in this article. You have been warned. Gotham fans had to be really shocked and surprised by the last episode of Gotham entitled The Last Laugh. Many fans believed that Cameron Monaghan’s Jerome will definitely become The Joker. Instead, Theo Galavan brought the man’s life to a sudden and shocking conclusion. Even though he will not be the Joker, he can have a part to play in setting the next villain. And guess what? The next villain may be a female.
The show-runner Bruno Heller revealed us that he is taking in consideration a Female Joker as well. And it might be a good decision, considering the fact that Jared Leto will unleash a terrifying version of the character in August’s Suicide Squad. Even if Jerome is not the prime candidate for the Joker, the clown prince of Gotham will not disappear and eventually will show up in a form before the end of the series. This is what Bruno Heller had to say to ComicBook.com about all of this.
“100% possible. One of the central themes of the DC world is transformation and revelation. Absolutely, those kinds of – I wouldn’t want to call it playing with people’s expectations or gender expectations – but we’ve absolutely considered the possibility of a female Joker, and we haven’t…nothing is too strange or too bizarre or too shocking for us to consider.”
The Joker was present in almost all the cinematography related to Batman. From movies to TV shows, animations, and original series. In all of these, the Joker, always turned out to be a white male. It would be really interesting to see a version of the Joker through a female perspective. However, will the fans be pleased about this change if they confirm it?
Season 2 of Gotham series is subtitled Rise of the Villains. Quite the irony considering the fact that most of the villains are falling very quickly. Because of this, fans started to speculate the fact that the Joker will be something they have never seen before. Cameron Monaghan brought new iconic traits for his character the Joker. He even had his evil laugh performed in a really good and unique way. However, his death stopped all the speculations made by the fans.
That said, the Joker’s death caught the attention of Barbara Kean, played by Erin Richards. If she was Jim Gordon’s fiance in the first place, she turned out to be a villain that seemed to have quite the admiration for the fallen guy. Fans took this fact into consideration thinking that Barbara Kean may be the Female Joker. Who knows though…
The third episode of this new season ended with Joker’s last laugh, a source of inspiration for all the criminals and lowlifes in Gotham city. It was said however that the Joker will not appear in the show until season 8 or 9, if the series lasts that long. This is what Cameron Monaghan had to say about his role and bringing the real Joker into the woodwork.
“I think he’s the Joker in that he represents the idea, the greater concept. And somewhere, some kid or some person watched [his videos/the news coverage] and it burrowed into their mind, and one day it will snap and take them over. The idea of this person will possess someone completely new. So, I love that idea – something about it really is chilling and excited me when I read the episode.”
Some fans don’t want to accept the idea of the Joker being dead. But what about a female joker? Would that be a good change for the series?
Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.
According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.
He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.
Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.
The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.
The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.
Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.
Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.
In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.
Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.
It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.
However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
