If you’re a regular Batman reader and have looked one of the firsts post in the blog, you’ve certainly met Punchline, the Joker’s new assistant and apparent love interest who managed to get the jump on both Batman and Harley Quinn during “The Joker War.”
We’ve been learning new things about Punchline ever since she was introduced by James Tynion IV and Guillem March back in Batman #89.We learned her real name is Alexis Kaye and she was a college student who found herself drawn to the Joker’s nihilistic ideology. We discovered she has a way with toxins and even managed to dose the Dark Knight himself.
But what we don’t know is how exactly she met the Joker. That tale hasn’t been told…until now.
Spinning out of The Joker War’s shocking conclusion, Punchline #1 is an all-new one shot from Tynion, Sam Johns and Mirka Andolfo that promises to get up close and personal with Gotham’s newest menace, providing glimpses of her terrifying past while also setting up her next chapter.
