Joker's New Girlfriend Punchline is DEADLY Jealous of Harley Quinn

The Joker's new girlfriend Punchline might be the biggest Harley Quinn hater in the DC Comics Universe. In new previews for the upcoming Batman #93, Punchline's hatred is in full-effect as even the mention of Harley brings out her killer instinct.

Punchline's debut was met with an extremely positive reception, as the cold and calculated killer had her first appearance sell out and get multiple printings. The "anti-Harley Quinn," is set to play a key part in the 'Joker War,' and will have her origin story told in the upcoming The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular. DC Comics previously revealed her encounter with Harley Quinn was set to be deadly, but new previews show just how hellbent on taking down the Joker's former girlfriend Punchline really is.

In previews released on DC Comics' official Instagram page for Batman #93 by James Tynion IV, Guillem March, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowles, Punchline is visiting one of Joker and Harley's old safe houses. While she pulls out a small sword and threatens someone, she gets a phone call from the Joker and the two have a twisted conversation - as he reminds her of the lesson of always going after "hearts and minds." However, Punchline tells the Joker that one of his clowns told her that he missed Harley upon seeing Quinn's old stuff (including pictures with the Joker) in the safe house and that she killed him (while he was wearing Harley's old outfit) and stuck him to a giant target . And, for good measure, she burned the whole place down.

If sure seems like Punchline might be a little more than just jealous of Harley's time with the Joker. She was enraged entering the old safe house and see Harley's things. I'd imagine the poor clown's praise of Joker's former flame pushed her over the edge. She said screw it, killed the clown for speaking up, and torched the place to the ground. Punchline is demented and definitely someone you don't want to get on the wrong side of.
