Notes
- Clownhunter was created by James Tynion IV and Jorge Jiménez where he made his first appearance in Batman v3 #96 (October, 2020).
- The character was named the Clownhunter in Batman v3 #97 (2020).
- On Newsrama, Tynion said in an interview, "And then on top of that, I am also getting to write a Clownhunter story - this new character that I’m creating with Jorge in the pages of 'Joker War' - with the amazing James Stokoe, who I’ve been a tremendous fan of forever... Clownhunter will definitely cause a headache for Batman. But he’s definitely not on the side of Joker in 'The Joker War.' Punchline and Clownhunter are sort of the new children of this new Gotham that’s building over the course of my run."
Appearances
- Batman v3: (2020)
- Batman: The Joker War Zone v1: (2020)
