Batman and Joker team up in 'Deadly Duo'

[cyberghostface]

Marc Silvestri is writing and illustrating a Black Label miniseries this November and it wouldn't be a Black Label comic if it didn't feature the Joker in some capacity. This time around it features the Clown Prince of Crime teaming up with his frenemy Batman after Harley Quinn and Jim Gordon are kidnapped. There are also Joker-like creatures stalking the streets of Gotham that are making things difficult for everyone.

The official solicitation:

The Joker will go to any lengths to get Harley Quinn back after a strange and mysterious culprit abducts her. But who would be brazen enough to incur The Joker’s wrath by committing such an unthinkable act?

To compound the terror, mysterious, Joker-like creatures are stalking the streets of Gotham, collecting severed heads, and no one knows why. Furthermore, Jim Gordon is missing, and after receiving a package containing a bloody piece of Gotham’s police commissioner, Batman realizes he must be willing to do anything to save him. But how?

When The Joker proposes an uneasy alliance with Batman, the answers to those questions begin to become clear—and they will shake Gotham City and the Bat-Family to their cores!

Oh, do I see a budding romance between those two Joker... ghouls? Vampires? Pointy toothed individuals in the first scan. Aww.

Cheers for going beyond the obvious first choice for a Joker Tarot reference.

So this solicitation for Batman for November seems eerily on point for the Batgirl DCEU cancelation. I hope Brendan Fraser doesn't go this route...

BATMAN - KNIGHTWATCH #4
Firefly exacts revenge on the people who ruined his movie career and put him in jail by setting buildings on fire across the city. Batman has to figure out who is on Firefly’s list to predict where he will strike next.

Ooh, someone actually remembers Firefly's backstory!

That last image is especially excellent. I, like, don't ship Batman/Joker but at the same time I kinda do? Honestly, it's a very weird, complicated feeling. But I definitely have my interest piqued by this.
