PURLOINED PUNCHLINE

 

This is DC Comics Punchline, the anti-Harley Quinn, of the Batman franchise being bound and gagged. She does not find this situation so funny now.

Alexis Kaye, also known as Punchline, is a villain from DC Comics appearing as an antagonist in the Batman comic book series. She is the Joker's new right-hand woman and girlfriend after their first encounter.

Most of Punchline's background remains unknown. She grew up a fan of the Joker and poisoned her college dean to prove she was worthy of joining his gang. She was later hired by the Joker as a new underboss in his upcoming war against Batman after Superman revealed his secret identity to the world as Clark Kent, which gives the Joker the idea of using Batman's secret identity in the upcoming war as a fun idea.

Joker hired Punchline due to his coming war with Batman, following Superman revealing his alter-ego to the public. On his orders, she arranged with the Underbroker to steal Bruce Wayne's fortune from his offshore shell companies. During the process, Punchline first met both Harley and Catwoman during their and Batman's confrontation with the "Designer." Whilst the latter attempted to transfer the fortune, Alexis and Quinn engaged in a brutal fight, which she won. With Catwoman tricked into transferring the fortune to Joker's accounts, Punchline stabbed her and left her for dead. Following this, she called the Clown Prince of Crime to inform him that their job was done.
