Batman #101

The Joker War is over, and Batman #101 signals what comes next with a cover that feels like a sharp intake of breath — the Dark Knight surges forward out of a smoke-choked, fire-lit Gotham City, cape billowing like a storm system, jaw set and fists ready. Guillem March's cover art captures Batman at a pivot point: a city still smoldering behind him, yet the tagline "From the Ashes of the Joker War… A New Day" promises something more than just survival. Writer James Tynion IV and March bring this chapter of their run to a charged new threshold with "After the Laughter!" — a title that hints at hard-won quiet and whatever unsettling calm follows a war for Gotham's soul.
