DC Comics has released the first details forBatman : The Joker War Zone , an anthology military issue which will not only feature a compendium of short stories about other members of the Bat Family , but also swear out as the prescribed debut of Gotham ’s latest vigilante .
In the wake of losing his prospicient - time confidant and surrogatefather project Alfred Pennyworth , Bruce ’s program to build a self-aggrandizing and good Gotham has been opposed by many obstacles . Under the pen ofnewBatmanwriter James Tynion IV , Bruce has had to divvy up with the likes ofenemy - wrick - friend Deathstroke , zombified Gotham law officer , and the meddlesome beguilement of the Riddler so far . Meanwhile , the Joker and his unexampled lady friend Punchline continue to design and collect their army ( includingBatman ’s evil small brother Lincoln March ) . Tynion is tardily amassing all of the important players , with Clownhunter the latest military recruit when ' Joker War’begins inBatman # 95 .
accord to DC Comics , Gotham City has become a war geographical zone as the Joker has taken control of Bruce Wayne ’s fortune and pay a war through the urban center against Batman and his allies . The 48 page anthology one - shot will feature study by James Tynion IV along with John Ridley , Guillem March , James Stokoe , Joshua Williamson , David Lafuente , and more . Along with the announcement comes the first cover song artistry depicting Clownhunter in armed combat , which can be seen below :
Tynionfirst mentioned the anti - hero Clownhunterback in March , but have few detail about the character he co - created with creative person Jorge Jimenez , only confirming his uttermost excitement about the character who would throw"a brutal wrench"in the machination of the forthcoming write up . Advancedpreview artwork of Clownhuntershowed a tattered and battle wear cloak individual with a distinct violent mohawk ( holding a stout baseball game bat with an apparent Batarang tied to its end ) . The name Clownhunter entail he ’s no protagonist to either Joker or Punchline , and his appearance alongside Batgirl and the Spoiler inBatman : The Joker War Zonecover confirms his alinement with Batman and his allies during this conflict .
Tynionpromised ' Joker War ' would be an challenging storylineand every issue and Modern detail that is print or released only builds the anticipation for this supposed final struggle between the Dark Knight and his maniacal bane . The straightaway achiever and demand forJoker ’s Modern girlfriend Punchlineleading up to her prescribed entry shows that well - crafted and unique new characters do have an audience in both the buff and apparently the vender ’s market . Clownhunter looks like a commixture of punk rock ‘n’ roll and the kind of low - central dystopian anarchy you ’d discover in theMad Maxmovies but in a battle that is already amassing a great deal of celebrated DC powerhouses , every little routine helps and nobody should be underestimated . In the streets of Gotham , its about to be hunting season for buffoon and Clownhunter will find that line is boom .
