Introducing Punchline, Joker's new girlfriend(?)

[cyberghostface]

"Who is this character on the amazing Yasmine Putri Batman #92 cover?! But when does she appear for the first time? Is it Batman #89? Is it Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3? Am I writing her origin story in the Joker 80th Anniversary Special? Is she Joker’s new girlfriend? Is she a part of 'Joker War'??! Who the heck is this Punchline, and why does she want to stab everyone?!?!?!?!?!?! ... Wait, I’m not supposed to say that’s Punchline yet, am I? I’m not supposed to say any of this! And what about this incredible character design from Jorge Jimenez…? Well, while we’re here… Maybe I’ll let you be the first to meet her. I am very excited for her to start showing up in the books. Spoilers. She is not a nice guy." -- James Tynion IV

Shouldn't Punchline, you know, punch people?

[tripodeca113]

Oh no...she's going to get blood all over her knees!

According to Tynion, she's closer to Mercy Graves than Harley.

Speaking of Harley, I give Punchline's existence until Harley beats her in a fight.

I think this is a good thing.

"Crazy Love" Joker is a good version on the character and Punchline will let that happen without damaging or taking away from Harley.

She does have blood on one of her fists...

And after she breaks up with Joker will DC introduce Judyline as her new partner?

For some reason this comes to mind

I get the skull motif they're going for but that Joker redesign is a huge step down compared to the original one which is perfect.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Maybe that's the joke?

I liked the Joker redesign... still, to each their own.

Ah yes - Fake Harley

[kurenai_tenka]

It must be polarising; even before clicking I assumed it was that version, because I didn't like it either.
