Tynion IV ’s news report inBatman : The Joker War Zone # 1will feature art from James Stokoe ( Orc Stain , Godzilla : The Half - Century War ) .
In addition to a braggy level featuring Bane , drawn by my other Gotham partner in law-breaking , Guillem March … I ’m writing a story for James Stokoe about Clownhunter , a mainline continuity story that hollow deep into who this strange new Gotham Vigilante is . In the script , I line what we were trying to do with Clownhunter as “ Kaneda ’s Gang from Akira meets Casey Jones meets Deadpool ” and James just knock it out of the park .
Clownhunter definitely has a Casey Jones vibe to him , alternatively , trading in Jones trademark hockey stick for the Batarang - tipped bat . The mention of Deadpool is interesting . While it ’s doubtful Tynion IV is saying Clownhunter will demote the quaternary rampart , it does advise the Clownhunter is going to be one of the zany characters in hisBatmanarc - which makes sense because just look at the guy . There ’s no room someone that is n’t boisterous and a lilliputian morsel screwball would go with a jumbo red mohawk and a baseball to fight clowns .
Clownhunterstill has a little bit of time before he appears in Batman , but Tynion IV ’s verbal description of him bring in him an interesting character to stick with . The newfangled vigilante will first appear inBatman#96 on August , 4 . Check out the solicit for the offspring below .
