Before The Bat and The Cat tie the knot this summer, the Joker will interrupt their wedding plans when he kidnaps the Dark Knight in Batman #48 on June 6.

The two-part “The Best Man” story will be written by Tom King and illustratd by Mikel Janin, and sees Batman and Catwoman decide to forego a big wedding in favor of eloping, which is when the Joker gets involved, according to Nerdist. The story arc will run through Batman #48-49 and lead up to the big wedding in Issue #50.
