DC Comics has announced that Batman: Three Jokers #1 will be released on Tuesday, August 25. A monthly release schedule is planned thereafter for the three-issue series, which reunites Justice League writer Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok as they finally explain what it meant when the Dark Knight revealed to Alfred that there aren't one, but three, Clown Princes of Crime.
"As more stores are finding ways to operate and service their customers, our release schedule is under constant review," DC's Senior VP/Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras said in a statement. "From placing orders to on sale, moving Batman: Three Jokers to August will enable more stores to order and sell this incredible story that Geoff and Jason have crafted."
Originally scheduled for a fall 2018 debut, Three Jokers was hit by multiple delays before finally being set for this past June. Now, with shipments slowly being sent out, things have changed.
A number of new preview pages from the first issue have been shared which can be seen below.
