Batman #135 will return to show us how the greatest detective of the DC universe will deal with the birth of the new Joker. Things have been hectic in the DC Rebirth era, and the studio finds it hard to find its footing in the comic book adaptation. However, DC, on the comics end of the end of things, has persevered to an extent.
Though many moments in the comics make us feel characters are not what they used to be. It is still better than what we had, say, a few months ago; things are better; relatively speaking. And Batman might not be at his top form. There are still some things that are done right and appeal to long-time fans.
As for the story, Bruce is on a journey to find and stop Red Mask before he creates and resurrects Joker. And to those that are aware of the Batman Lore, it was clear to them that is what it will come down to. After all, in all the renditions of the character, Red Mask was Joker’s first identity.
Batman #134 Recap
Batman #134 started with Batman talking to Selena about this world and trying to convince her that she needs to stay away from danger. He tries his best not to let his emotions get in the way of his thinking and muddle his reasoning. For he needs to contain himself before he finally confronts Red Mask.
Batman makes his way into this world’s Arkham and upon further investigation realizes how big this place is. This world without Batman had been rid of all the elements that could lead to the discovery of the multiverse, the reason why Arkham was bigger in this world. Lex Luthor, The Flash, and many more were held to prevent them from making Red Mask’s plan go wrong.
Red Mask has locked them in so he can tap into his full potential and become the man he is meant to be, Joker. The mask has already figured out the identity of Batman and is not afraid to peg him down. But unlike the maniacal Joker, Red Mask is a lot more calculative.

Selena has returned to the scene despite Batman’s warning to help the citizens that are caught in the panic created by the Joker. She was seen using the whip that the Catwoman used as her signature weapon, but she didn’t have anything else on her. Meanwhile, Batman in this world is dealing with this world’s Bane to the best of his ability.
Batman will have to rely on his wits to the very end, as his physique will not be able to keep up with everything thrown at him. There is no Bat Family in this world, so no extra help is coming. However, at the darkest of an hour, it will be the Dark Knight that will have to make the call.
