The Joker gets the spotlight as closed beta begins

You can call him the Clown Prince of Crime, the Harlequin of Hate or any other of his many monickers, but the Joker is one of the most enduring characters in popular culture.

The most iconic of all comic book villains, the sadistic and unrelentingly psychotic character is a fan favorite across many media. Be it the sheer maniacal brilliance of Mark Hamill's portrayal in the DC animated universe -- and series of Arkham games -- or Heath Ledger's memorable turn in The Dark Knight film, the flipside to the Batman is known by millions.

It's no surprise to anyone that he features in the upcoming MOBA Infinite Crisis which today entered closed beta testing.

In Infinite Crisis, Joker is a damage dealer who can snare multiple players while having a lot of tricks up his sleeve to get out of range. He looks ideal for following up on initiation in team fights to keep the enemy bunched up for a quick focus kill before choosing a new target -- or just let rip with some AOE, of course.

If you want to join in the mayhem be sure to sign up for the beta which is live right now, right here.
