Today's Knight Terrors: Punchline #2, published by DC Comics, sees Punchline come face to face with the dreamscape version of Insomnia and his removed eyelids. But, in this confrontation, Punchline seems to be summoning her inner Catherine Tate somewhat. Just ahead of the new Doctor Who specials and her role alongside David Threlfell in The Enfield Haunting.

Because she's not bothered. She's not bothered. Look at her face, is it bothered? Nightmare stone? Eyelids? Purple skies? Batman asleep for eight weeks? She… ain't…. bothered! Let's find some of that inspiration behind Alexis Kaye in Lauren Cooper… initially with her mates, then with her teachers and then with Prime Ministers and Doctor Who.

That is of course, until Insomnia managed to do something that no friends, teacher or Prime Minister managed to do to Lauen Cooper… he shuts Punchline up.Knight Terrors

Punchline was created by James Tynion IV and Jorge Jiménez for Batman #89 during the Joker War story arc. A college student who develops an unhealthy obsession with the Joker after encountering him during a grisly-fated high school trip, she commits a series of murders herself. Facing the death penalty, she manages to manipulate the jury and the public into finding her not guilty, styling herself as  The Joker's new sidekick and girlfriend; she is now leading Gotham's Royal Flush Gang. She has no powers but is an expert knife-throwing and concocter of Joker venom and other poisonous substances, as well as an unparalleled use of social media to gain fans and influence. But is she bovvered? Seems not.
