Written by:Tom King
Selina Kyle knows this. Early in her career as Catwoman, he was there to mess things up for her. Same with later, when she and Batman were finally getting together…for the third time, but still. That time stuck. No thanks to the Joker. Or to Phantasm, who now has her sights set on Catwoman because she thinks that will be her in to get after the Joker herself. And she has to do it before Batman gets to him first.

BATMAN TP VOL 04 THE WAR OF JOKES & RIDDLES (REBIRTH)
Early in Batman’s career, the Joker and the Riddler would seemingly be natural allies. But each man determined that he and he alone must be the one to kill the Bat… and either would sooner burn down Gotham than be beaten to the punch line.
 
Untold until now, one of the darkest chapters in Batman’s history sees all of Gotham’s villains choosing sides in a battle of wits that soon turns into a full-blown war—complete with civilian casualties. In the War of Jokes and Riddles, only one side can claim victory… but the scars it leaves will shape Batman’s future as he makes the most important decision of his life.
 
From the critically acclaimed, best-selling creative team of Tom King (Grayson, The Vision) and Mikel Janin (Justice League Dark), the epic graphic tale Batman: The War Of Jokes And Riddles has quickly embedded itself as one of the great stories in the Dark Knight’s mythology. Collects issues #25-32.
