DC is still in the middle of 'The Joker War ' and while readers aren't sure how it will end, the editor promises dramatic changes to Gotham City when the story arc is finally told and done.
A change in the Bat-Mythos will be adding a new vigilante herowith ties to Bruce Wayne's past, and there may not be enough crime in Gotham for the two of them.
In the November 2020 solicitations for both issues of writer James Tynion IV's Batman, DC presents Ghost-Maker.

(Image credit: DC) "Bruce Wayne and the city he loves have changed drastically after the events of 'The Joker War ', but Batman and his mission are eternal, "reads DC's solicitation for Batman # 102 on November 3. "But not everyone thinks that should be the case ... The mysterious vigilante known as the Ghost-Maker has known Bruce since their teenage years, and he's made up his mind. It's about time Gotham City had a new hero. "
But that doesn't mean thatBatman has found a new partner or even an ally. It doesn't seem like friendship is in the cards, at least not at first.

"The city is changing faster than ever in the wake of 'The Joker War ', and with that change comes growing dangers as the citizens of Gotham demand that Punchline be released from prison! Additionally, Harley Quinn faces certain death at the hands of Clownhunter! "
Both issues are written by Tynion, featuring artwork by Carlo Pagulayan and Danny Mikki with two covers each by Jorge Jimenez (including a Ghost-Maker variant for Batman # 102) and a variant by Francesco Mattina.
