Move over, War of Jokes and Riddles! Step aside, Justice/Doom War. The latest war to ravage the DC Universe is happening in Batman in 2020, and coincidentally coinciding with all those awards nominations, it's the Joker War! Revealed in April's solicits for Batman, the "Their Dark Designs" storyline will be ending, but a new storyline, called "Joker War," is on the way. And if you guessed that Gotham will never be the same, of course, you'd be correct. The solicit for Batman #93 also implies that Batman will face a loss even more devastating than Alfred.

Check out the solicits below.
