"Punchline: Chapter 1" kicks off a chilling new chapter in the Joker’s rogue’s gallery, spotlighting the enigmatic and dangerous Punchline as she faces trial for her crimes. With witnesses dying and the prosecution struggling, Leslie enlists Harper to uncover the truth, while Punchline tests her power within Blackgate’s brutal hierarchy. Written by Sam Johns and James Tynion IV and illustrated with striking, expressive art by Mirka Andolfo, this issue blends psychological tension with the raw energy of Gotham’s underworld—cover by Guillem March.
