The development team at Turbine and publisher Warner Bros are revealing a new character for their upcoming Infinite Crisis, the Gaslight incarnation of The Joker.

The new hero for the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena title will use a giant cleaver in battle, giving him a lot of close quarters abilities, and will also be able to command a group of rats that can attack other heroes and keep them occupied while he closes in.

The team at Turbine describes Gaslight Joker as the biggest series killer of the Age of Invention and will prove more than a match for the rest of the DC Comics cast that will be involved in Infinite Crisis.

The MOBA will use a free-to-play business model and is expected to be out on the PC before the end of 2013.
