DC Comics has announced a Batman and Joker comic series that is coming from writer and artist Marc Silvestri. The series is titled Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo and fans will be able to get their hands on this new dark tale in November.
The Clown Prince of Crime and The Dark Knight are actually teaming up in this story! Silvestri said in a statement: "Batman and The Joker are two of the world's most iconic characters and have been at each other's throat's for more than 80 years. I always thought it would be pretty entertaining to have them on the same side so I wrote a story about it. Needless to say, stuff happens."
The description for the comic reads: "The conflict between Batman and The Joker has been one of the most storied in all of literature. Always adversaries, they've rarely had to work together, but this November iconic storyteller Marc Silvestri tells the ultimate tale of a fragile alliance between The Dark Knight and The Clown Prince of Crime in Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo, a seven-issue DC Black Label limited series arriving in comic book stores and participating digital platforms on Tuesday, November 1."
DC also shared a description for Issue #2 of the series: "Batman and The Joker's relationship is off to a rocky start, but differences need to be put aside in a hurry, as another piece of Commissioner Gordon is delivered to the Gotham City Police Department. Hopefully, they can work together fast, while there's something left of Jim Gordon!"
There will also be multiple different covers created by artists such as Greg Capullo, Jorge Former, Kyle Hotz, Kelley Jones, Christopher Mitten, Jim Lee, and Yannick Paquette.
All covers for Batman/The Joker: The Deadly Duo #1 and #2 are card stock, and each 32-page issue is priced at $4.99. The first issue goes on sale Tuesday, November 1 and #2 follows on Tuesday, December 6.
