Updates on Linda Garcia and James Davis LJ's. Joker on the loose through the states. Garcia is reporting on the route he is taking
Quote:

The Joker and his associates are believed to have been spotted in west Pennsylvania, Ohio, near Fort Wayne, Indiana, Southern Wisconsin, and Iowa. Unconfirmed reports also place the escapees in or near Lawrence, Kansas. A number of assaults, robberies, and homicides along the purported route are being investigated in connection with the Arkham Hospital escapees.

Could he be on his way to...Comic Con? Laughing

Davis has received a bunch of photos from a stranger. They show the Joker and what appears to be a drugged Quinzel. The last photo reveals what is sitting to the left of the door:

Could this be...the Arkham Asylum game?
Game boxes are just DVD cases these days, right? Yes, I have absolutely no idea...but maybe it's the Special Edition?


the joker looks like the one from the movie. i wonder why?

unless the GMs wanted to go with the one for the movie for the ARG for the game?

as for what's near the door, i have no clue. it doesn't look like the video game as whatever it is is too big and doesn't look like the cover. doesn't look like the collector's edition either as it's supposed to be a big rectangular box, mostly white with a big black bat symbol on it.

I dismissed it earlier, but given the timing of the latest video it might be connected:
TheJokerBlogs on YT
You find all the other links on the profile.

I just watched through all of it. It starts rather lame, but it picks up from there. Pretty well done. Especially the latest one with magic tricks. Wink That video is from July 18th and since the Joker broke out the night before this was uploaded, it fits the timeline.

However, the 18th is the Dark Knight anniversary. There just might be two projects being set to go off on that date. The guy on the photos could be him...but I think he looks a little different. And there's nothing about this on the web (that I can find) and I just doubt I'm the first to notice. Confused

Anyway, curious about their next video, if there is one.

Tweet from Dr. Miller:

It all points one way. A comic-book convention. Jesus.


Love it Smile.

Edit: Also, updates on Linda Garcia and James Davis LJ's.

Edit #2: Also, new Dr. Miller Facebook status:
Quote:
A year later, three thousand miles away, they won't listen. I'm trying to explain to them that they've got to shut down the event, but Jim refuses to bring that to the local cops for consideration. Says, "They'd never do it. Too much money, too many people."


Edit #3: New James Davis tweet:
Quote:
It's kind of hard to worry about Corzine and the rest of it right now.

No, I don't think it's the same guy as the one from TheJokerBlogs. His hair isn't that greasy/wet.

undrgroundman - Nostradamus told me
It's dated 07-25-09 and appears to be blank.

Maybe it's predicting something that's going to happen at ComicCon in two days?

Yeah. Nothing. Laughing

No, gotcha. Yes, I think Sat is likely.

update on Garcia's blog

Oook...AJH is officially part of this, after all.
Wasn't going to post it due to privacy concerns, but what I found earlier:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The image map on COG was made by AJH as you can tell from the tag in the source. This would be the webmaster Garcia suggested to contact for the login info on COG.

AJH Twitter

This appears to be a real-person Twitter, which would make this rather morbid...

I already tried various iterations of the cats names as pw, by the way, back when I was not sure whether or not to share this. Wink

If anything's happening at Comic-Con, yeah, it'll probably be Saturday night, sometime near or during the Batman: Arkham Asylum panel.

Those going to Comic-Con, check it out for the rest of us? Very Happy

The Joker is in San Diego!

Dr. Miller updated his Twitter:

SDPD doesn't buy that it can happen, and GCPD is decimated. Two o'clock?


Linda updated her livejournal:

GCPD Working With San Diego Police On Joker Case

July 25, 2009


GOTHAM CITY, NJ -- GCPD officials have gone on record as stating that the man calling himself "The Joker" is "positively in San Diego" and that every possible effort is being made to ascertain his exact whereabouts. Authorities state that "the situation is complex and delicate, and we are proceeding very carefully." No further word has been given on the status of missing Doctor Harleen Quinzel, one of The Joker's care team at Arkham Hospital in the Narrows. Members of the public are advised to avoid contact with The Joker or his accomplices and to inform GCPD immediately if he is located.



With undrgroundman predicting something will happen today, something may happen at 2:00 Pacific. Interestingly enough, I believe G4 is airing live coverage from convention. What are the odds that they'll get something that involves this?

Only 50 minutes before something happens. Comicconners (hmmm, possible new word?) if you are reading this... what the heck are you doing on a computer. Get your butts over to the convention and keep your eyes open for the Joker!

I think Aequitas was saying that the G4 coverage starts around 2pm PDT?
The Arkham Asylum panel isn't until 8:30pm PDT, at the earliest. Programme says that the Watchmen/Arkham panel is scheduled for 8:30-12:15 pm.
By the way, that is about 5:30am my local time. Laughing

But I am not at all sure about these types of events, might show up at any time.

Apparently the Joker is hiding.

I guess my joke earlier wasn't one. Undrgroundman's Nostradamus prediction for 07/25 was simply, "nothing happens".

These Wanted and Missing posters were actually posted on Friday: http://twitpic.com/bhcfw

And that's the only mention of COG I could find anywhere. Confused
