Joker War, In Batman #97, we witnessed how things went bad when Clown Prince of Crime attained Bruce Wayne’s money. As the core being “The Joker War” event, Jorge Jimenez and James Tynion’s Batman arc found Joker piling up in his battle against the Dark Knight.
The Joker always finds some way or the other to plot against Batman. So, in order to fulfill this, Clown Prince of Crime used the Dark Knight’s secret for the very first time. Also, Joker knew about Bruce Wayne‘s gloomy activities but kept all of those to himself. In order to use it against him when the time is right and meanwhile playing games. However, he forgot everything in the “Joker War” and fell into it with his hands full.
‘Catwoman’ supported ‘Batman’
Joker’s army was getting bigger in size with every hour and had weapons that were out of the reach of the Clown Prince of Crime. The weapons were such that he had never used it before. DC’s solicitation reads: “Batman must hold his mind together so he can strike the final blow and take back his city – but how can he heal the rifts he’s created in his life to get the help he needs?”. Moreover, Batman’s girlfriend Catwoman was with him, assembling her own army. So, Batman has got some major support.
Catwoman’s role in “Joker War”
Talking to Newsarama, Tynion said, “So Catwoman definitely plays a very central role and plays a key role at the climax of ‘The Joker War’ story. But also, her actions in ‘Joker War’ are going to help set the stage for, honestly, the next few years of Batman stories.” However, DC for quite a long time promoting their next major character, Punchline. The Punchline is also Joker’s new ally.
In Batman #97 of The Joker War, is among the 27 issues that DC owns linking to this event, culminating in Batman #100.
