The Joker Gets a Giant Robot Makeover in New DETECTIVE COMICS Issue
The new Detective Comics has brought some very interesting changes to the Batman universe. The main change is that Batman is no longer Bruce Wayne. In this story arc, Batman is Jim Gordon, and he goes around fighting crime in a Mech suit that he pilots.
It seems like Batman’s rogues gallery don’t stand a chance with Gordon in the suit. But it looks like the Joker is going to give him a run for his money, as always. This comic sees the rise of The Joker’s daughter after his death at the hands of Bruce Wayne at the conclusion of Batman: Endgame.
So how does she go up against Gordon’s mech Batman? Well, she builds a robot mech of her own to take him down. There's no better way to fight a robot than with another robot. The current Detective Comics’ arc comes from Brian Buccellato and Fernando Blanco, and thanks to CBR, you can get a little tease of what the story entails in Detective Comics #44 comic panels below.
Robo-Joker battling Robo-Batman is an interesting way to go. Who knows, maybe the whole DC Universe will be filled with mech robots one day? It’s been really interesting to see all of these changes not only in the DC Universe but in the Marvel Universe as well.
