Biography
Alexis
She later came to study at Snyder College that was located forty miles north of Gotham. (The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular v1 #1)
Alexis came to learn the formula for laughing gas from the internet and tested it on numerous homeless people beneath the overpass. At some point, she came to meet her idol the Joker where she wanted to join his gang but he said that she would have to prove her worth and to show that she was not some simple crazed creepy fangirl. During this time, her roommate Sarahs brother died alongside three of his co-workers during a laughing gas attack in Gotham. Afterwards, the college held a 'dress as your hero' day in an effort to lift spirits on campus. Alexis decided to go to college whilst wearing a shirt that was a portrait of the Joker with this getting a negative response from people. The college board was displeased at the incident with the Dean having a talk with her about her behaviour. Alexis used the laughing gas in her cigarette to kill Dean Bob and intended to leave his corpse in her roommates bed in an effort to scar her mentally on a permanent basis.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Alexis was a young attractive woman with long black hair where she changed her appearance into a more comedic clown-like form with make-up. (The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular v1 #1)
She was noted for being abusive and was aggressive to the authorities. Alexis blamed any person of authority including her parents, academic teachers and even the television for her problems. To her, society was falling apart because of the previous generation and that only a few of them had the guts to throw some chaos into the mix. Punchline said she did not want to live in the slow decay of the world created by society. Instead, she wanted her own world and did not really care if that meant hurting other people. Alexis felt that the whole world was a joke and that she was the punchline. (The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular v1 #1)
Alexis felt people were hypocrites for not allowing them true choice as she never wanted to be the good guy. (The Joker 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular v1 #1)
Powers and abilities
She came to learn the recipe for laughing gas from the internet and was able to mix it into other objects such as cigarettes. Alexis had multiple attempts using numerous chemicals until she got the mixture correct. With a smoke, she could blow out the gas that included its paralytic component to kill people.

Notes
- Punchline was created by James Tynion IV and Guillem March where she made her first appearance in Batman v3 #89 (April, 2020).
- On Newsarama, Tynion said, “ So, back in December, when discussions were starting about 'Joker War,' I knew I needed Joker to have a lieutenant in that war. A Number Two. We started cooking up the idea of a polar opposite to Harley Quinn, and Jorge designed Punchline. The design was fucking awesome and I didn’t want to wait to use her in a comic.”
