Two mortal enemies will forge a fragile and unlikely alliance this November as DC Comics launches the new seven-issue DC Black Label limited series Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo from creator Marc Silvestri.
“Batman and The Joker are two of the world’s most iconic characters and have been at each other’s throats for more than 80 years,” states Silvestri. “I always thought is would be pretty entertaining to have them on the same side, so I wrote a story about it. Needless to say, stuff happens.”
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!
Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo #1 will go on sale on November 1st.
