After years of anticipation, Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's long-planned DC Black Label miniseries Batman: Three Jokers has been confirmed to debut in June.
Following the release date announcement, DC released the covers for the miniseries' three issues, drawn by Fabok and colored by Brad Anderson. Each appropriately focuses on the Clown Prince of Crime, from deranged to sinisterly meditative.
Batman: Three Jokers will be published under DC's mature reader-oriented Black Label imprint, and the story will see Batman, Batgirl and Red Hood each explore their painfully traumatic relationship with Gotham City's most notorious villain.
Three Jokers was first teased by Johns and Fabok during their final Justice League story arc closing out the New 52 era. As Batman sat on the New God Metron's chair, temporarily gaining omnipotence, the Dark Knight was shocked to learn there were apparently three different individuals that had used The Joker moniker. After resolving the conflict between Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor, a determined Batman swore to get behind the mystery of the three Jokers.
Batman: Three Jokers #1, by Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, goes on sale June 17 from DC.
