BURBANK, CA (January 17, 2020) - Since his first appearance in April 1940, The Joker has become one of the most iconic and compelling characters in comic books and all of popular culture. Time and time again, his drive to sow discord and chaos has made him more than a match for Batman and his mission to protect the citizens of Gotham City.

The stories run the gamut from terror to humor to outright anarchy, showing how The Joker has left his indelible mark on Gotham City, from the gates of Arkham Asylum to the Gotham City PD, from the local underworld to Batman and his allies.

April's Batman Will Be the Prelude to Joker War
It's a new day in Gotham City as writer Tom King ended his years-long run on Batman. The new creative team of writer James Tynion IV and artist Tony S. Daniel started their run with Issue 86 in January, but April's Batman # 93 will kickstart the next event for the Dark Knight with the return of The Joker.
DC's April solicitations reveal the climax of “Their Dark Designs” in Batman # 93 by Tynion and artist Guillem March. As that story comes to an end, the issue also teases the start of "Joker War," which promises to leave a lasting impact on Gotham City.
You can find Tony S. Daniel's cover and solicitation text for Batman # 93 below. The issue goes on sale April 15.
