DC reschedules Batman: Three Jokers #1 to August

Before the corona virus pandemic threw many plans and businesses into disarray and postponement, DC Comics was finally set to release Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok’s long awaited Batman and Joker story “Batman: Three Jokers” into the world starting with the first issue solicited for a June 2020 release. Unfortunately, those plans did not hold up and now DC Comics has confirmed in their official website that the title will now be rescheduled for release this coming August instead.

 

Adding some new artwork teases to the article, the news of the Three Jokers delay is no surprise given the decision to halt distribution of titles by Diamond Comic Distributors over a month ago w/ the pandemic concerns happening worldwide. DC and other publishers are slowly returning to distribution beginning later this month, but with that comes the inevitable rescheduling of titles - Three Jokers included. It’s a story that has been teased and brewing since DC Rebirth began and revealed to readers that more that one man is walking around as the Clown Prince of Crime, and the new three issue storyline will tell what exactly this means and it will involve Batman, Batgirl, and Red Hood - three members of the Bat Family who have been greatly affected by the Joker’s presence one way or another.

Batman: Three Jokers will now be released on August 25 in comic shops worldwide.
