Batman Vol. 2: The Joker War (TP)

Gotham bleeds as the Joker wages his most personal war yet.

With Bruce Wayne’s fortune stolen and Wayne Enterprises under Joker’s control, Gotham becomes a playground of violence and psychological warfare. The Joker isn’t out for laughs this time—he’s out to destroy everything Batman stands for by hitting him where it hurts most: his identity.

As Batman reels from the betrayal, he must rely on the fractured Bat-Family—Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and more—to hold the line. But Joker has new soldiers of his own, including the mysterious and deadly Punchline. The line between ally and enemy blurs, and Gotham’s future balances on a razor's edge.

This volume collects Batman #95–100, wrapping up the explosive Joker War event by James Tynion IV, Jorge Jiménez, and Guillem March. At 176 pages, this pivotal arc reshaped Gotham’s status quo and introduced lasting additions to Batman’s mythos—like Punchline and Clownhunter—while pushing the Dark Knight past his breaking point.
