For much of the Batman crossover event "Joker War," the Dark Knight and his allies have been on the defensive as the Clown Prince of Crime and his army turned Bruce Wayne's vast arsenal against them. Fortunately, the Caped Crusader and his Bat Family will reunite to turn the tide and take back Gotham City this September as "Joker War" nears its climactic finish.

DC Comics has released an unlettered preview of Batman #99, the penultimate issue of "Joker War" as the villain's men continue to plunge the city into fiery chaos. As Joker and Punchline tighten their fiendish grip, Batman rallies together the Bat Family on the rooftops of Gotham, prepared to do whatever it takes to liberate their city from their nemesis' most twisted scheme yet. The unlettered preview pages by writer James Tynion IV, penciler Jorge Jimenez and colorist Tomeu Morey are below.

  • “The Joker War” part five of six! Things have changed, as Batman realizes he can’t fight this war alone. He’s going to need help. Before he faces down The Joker, he must call up his trusty partner Dick Grayson! But can Dick reclaim his lost memories in time to join the battle?

The opening issues of "Joker War" had both Batman and Nightwing laid up by the opening salvo from the Joker and Punchline. Batman had been poisoned by a new strain of Joker toxin personally developed by Punchline while Nightwing had his mind rewritten by the Clown Prince of Crime using a Memory Crystal created by the Court of Owls. Judging from the preview pages, both the Dark Knight and his original Boy Wonder are restored and ready to go on the offensive.
