NetherRealm have finally got their morbid take on the Joker into Mortal Kombat and it doesn’t disappoint.

In a new trailer shown off today, we see the callous clown wipe blood on his mouth within the first five seconds having pricked himself with a knife.

He then proceeds to crack open enemy skulls with his cane, shoot them with fireworks and various gun types, and even use a headless kamikaze to explode near them.

Then there’s his mini-gun shaped like Batman, made to take a dig at his arch nemesis. Nice touch.

But they save the best till last. Joker’s Fatality is … well it’s genius. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, just watch it…

Joker will enter Mortal Kombat 11 Early Access on January 28th, with a full release coming shortly after on February 4th.
