Joker
WhenDC Comicsfirst announcedthe Jokerwas getting a new partner in offense ( and in romance ) , the intelligence was positively met . The newfangled character , Punchline , had an interesting design and was teased as fiddle a big part of James Tynion IV’sBatmanrun . The grapheme officially debut in the DC Universe last week – and already , her popularity hasskyrocketed .
DC Comicsheavily commercialize Punchline(along with the new scoundrel Designer ) as Tynion IV took over the rein onBatman .

Punchline officially made her comics debut inBatman # 89 in just a little cameo appearance . InYear of the Villain : Hell Arisen # 3(available now ) Punchline makes her first full appearance . While neither is exactly substantial – with the Punchline helping the Joker with his ploy against Batman , and by and by against Lex Luthor – it ’s exculpated plunger are groovy on the character and her prospicient - term ( or at least unforesightful - full term potentiality ) .
At the prison term of this writing , Batman # 89 , Punchline ’s first cameo visual aspect , is routinely selling ( sold listing ) for about $ 35 - 40 USD on eBay . Year of the Villian : Hell Arisen # 3 , where Punchline makes her firstfullappearance is selling for as much as $ 50 USD . Not the fortune casual laughable fans might be used to hearing , but for a single mid - run issue , add up that much high than the $ 3.99 covert price are absurd . The timing is a cistron as well , considering the issue ofBatmanhas barely been out a week , and the newest issue ofHell Arisenhasn’t even been out for a full day . This kind of speculator madness has n’t been seen in DC Comics sinceThe Batman Who Laughsfirst debuted back inTeen Titans # 12 , making it clear citizenry are ALL - IN on Punchline ’s potential .
However , it ’s of import to remember that it ’s rarefied for the first appearances of forward-looking graphic symbol to retain their immediate value over time . Part of the reason the Batman Who Laughs ' first appearance still hold time value is that DC has process intemperately on developing the character as a massive instrumentalist among DC villain . It seems DC will strain to do the same with Punchline , but who knows what the future holds for her ?
With speculators being so vest in Punchline ’s first appearances , hopefully , it ’s the commencement of the fictional character becoming a keystone in the comics . She ’ll bea part of the " Joker War " storylineas well as appear in an upcoming issue ofNightwing . Punchline is an interesting character and has been a superstar marketer for DC - let ’s home that momentum continue in her stories .
