Thirty years after Batman: The Killing Joke changed comics forever, Three Jokers reexamines the myth of who, or what, The Joker is and what is at the heart of his eternal battle with Batman. New York Times bestselling writer Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, the writer/artist team that waged the “Darkseid War” in the pages of Justice League, reunite to tell the ultimate story of Batman and The Joker!
After years of anticipation starting in DC Universe: Rebirth #1, the epic miniseries you’ve been waiting for is here: find out why there are three Jokers, and what that means for the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime. It’s a mystery unlike any Batman has ever faced!

Should I have faith in Johns or skip this because I don't want to waste money on this series if rumors are true? Well at $6.99 per issue I think I know the answer to that one. But a strange theory came to me while looking at the solicits. It may be totally wrong but that's why it's a theory, right? This is supposed to be delving into the psyches of the three heroes and how they deal with trauma. What if on some levels they are the three Jokers? Maybe something like the plot in the Arkham Knight game.

Does anyone else feel like there needs to be more bonding with the family before the members are put through these events? I hope this isn't like DOTF, that we don't have all the members defeated except Batman.


THE FLASH #758
written by JOSHUA WILLIAMSON
art and cover by RAFA SANDOVAL and JORDI TARRAGONA
variant cover by INHYUK LEE
“Legion of Zoom” part two! Central City is reeling from the recent attack, and Barry Allen lies broken and helpless! To uncover his foes’ next target, the Flash must solve a mystery from his past…but before he can, he’s attacked by the corrupted Tornado Twins—his children from the future!

Nice to see Don and Dawn again, they even have new costumes. It might be nice to have them more involved with the family.


RED HOOD: OUTLAW #47
written by SCOTT LOBDELL
art and cover by PAOLO PANTALENA
variant cover by PHILIP TAN
The Chamber of All has been excavated by the Untitled in Qurac, which means it’s up to Red Hood, Artemis, Bizarro and Essence to prevent an unspeakable horror from wiping out all of humanity once and for all. Sounds like a tall order for the Outlaws? Don’t worry, they get help from the most unexpected (and misunderstood) super-team of all time: Red Hood and the Outlaws! All this, plus Ma Gunn learns the tragic reason Monsieur Mallah and the Brain want to teach the students of Generation Outlaw.

If solicits are true then does Essence being around mean she was chosen over Isabel? This really feels like the series is wrapping up, which is a shame. Sure, it will be nice to see Kori and Roy but it's very bittersweet.


TEEN TITANS #43
written by ROBBIE THOMPSON
art by EDUARDO PANSICA
cover by BERNARD CHANG
variant cover by KHARY RANDOLPH
Robin begins a hunt that leads him to the KGBeast, the same assassin who wounded and nearly killed the first Robin, Dick Grayson. Will Damian Wayne cross the line to enact brutal revenge on the Russian villain—or can the Teen Titans temper the current Robin’s rage?

So the big deal they made about Bruce finally punishing Damian, of there being actual consequences for his actions...barely matters? I shouldn't be surprised but this is incredibly disappointing even with it finally has someone else confronting Beast.
