"The War of Jokes and Riddles" is already shaping up to be writer Tom King's most ambitious Batman story to date, both in terms of length and the sheer number of Batman villains being crammed into one story. But the appeal with this new conflict has less to do with scope and more with the opportunity to see King tackle two of the most iconic members of Batman's rogues gallery. And even after one issue, this arc doesn't disappoint.
It's all the more important that this arc make a strong first impression considering that "The War of Jokes and Riddles" will dominate this series for the next several months (an eternity by DC Rebirth standards). It's easy to picture the series losing the momentum created by issue #24's big twist as it makes an extended trip back to the early days of Batman's career. But while it's not entirely clear what impact this flashback tale will have on the present-day DCU, there's enough connective tissue in this issue to prove that writer Tom King and artist Mikel Janin have a plan in mind.
