The first solicit for Batman #91 has revealed who will be fighting alongside Batman is none other than Harley Quinn. These two are actually no stranger to working together on occasion, having done it a number of times in Batman: The Animated Series. A 2017 animated feature film titled Batman and Harley Quinn picked up those pieces and featured the pair together in a series of team ups. In the pages of DC Comics though they fought side by side in the ever popular Injustice 2 series and in Harley Quinn‘s solo series.
As part of their team-up, and Tynion’s run on the series, a new villain will emerge in Gotham City known as The Designer. A mysterious master criminal, the new villain will take on the task of assembling Batman’s rogues to commit “the perfect crime.” Ahead of Batman #91, the Designer will enact his plan in Batman #90 putting Batman at odds with his beloved Catwoman.
“I loved writing stories for [Batman] Eternal, Detective Comics, and even Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but my desire to tell a Batman story, one focusing solely on Bruce Wayne instead of an ensemble, is what drove me back to the Batcave,” Tynion said in a statement when his appointment to Batman was announced. “I want to dig deep into the Bat himself and tell an epic story that pushes him to his absolute limits. I want to tell a Batman story like the kinds I grew up loving, one that embraces the horror and gothic elegance of Gotham and dives deep into Batman’s greatest villains.”
