About this Collection

This collection brings together the full story arc from the 2022 DC miniseries, focusing on the legal and moral fallout of Alexis Kaye's actions as the new Punchline. Following her arrest and trial, the narrative explores her manipulation of social media, her fanatical followers, and the courtroom drama that pits her against the Gotham legal system, with appearances from key Batman family members and allies. The volume collects the complete four-issue series, written by Tini Howard with art by Gleb Melnikov and others.

In "What Comes at the End of a Joke," Punchline stands trial for her role in the Joker War, claiming she was manipulated by the Clown Prince of Chaos. As public opinion shifts, Harper Row grows uneasy when her brother Cullen becomes obsessed with a series of podcasts from Punchline that reframe her actions—and the Joker’s—in a surprisingly sympathetic light. Written by James Tynion IV and Sam Johns, with vivid art by Mirka Andolfo and colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., this issue explores the power of narrative in the aftermath of chaos. The cover, by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, captures the eerie tension of a story where truth and performance blur.
