DC Comics Universe and Batman Secret Files #3 Spoilers and Review follows.

A Sprinkle Of Punchline, A Dash Of Deathstroke and A Dollop Of Joker Lead Into Joker War!

The story opens with Batman vs. Deathstroke…

…in the present before…

…he head to the past and learn…

…who Deathstroke got roped into Joker’s machinations.

Readers and Deathstroke also learn that…

…Joker may “play” deranged, but he’s cold and calculating; even knowing Batman’s secret identity for some time?!

The tale ends in the present with Batman defeating Deathstroke, but…

…more to come in Joker War!

Here’s the Joker War checklist.

The Pulse:

A cool story with one of my fave DC characters, Deathstroke. The Punchline “appearance” is more of a cameo than anything consequential. However, the revelation that Joker knows Bruce Wayne is Batman is chilling. This tale is a nice tease for Joker War. 8 out of 10.
