There a few stories in this one-shot that begins with the current Batman series writer…

More to come in 2021!
Then we see Lucius Fox struggling from overcoming the Joker venom at Punchline’s hands.
The billions of Bruce Wayne bucks that Catwoman stole back from the Joker should help with that as would…
…his family; his wife Tanya with daughters Tamara Fox and Tiffany Fox, returning son Tim Fox and youngest son Luke Fox aka Batwing, but perhaps a future Batman?
There is another story where…

Then we get a Poison Ivy story…
…where she kills Joker’s minions sent after her as she crowns herself Queen Ivy…

The final story focuses on…
…Clownhunter who is unmasked, but…

The Pulse:
An eclectic mix of stories. Decent stories, but a mixed bag on art; diverging styles. Interesting 2021 teases. 6 out of 10.
