Despite what you may have heard Bruce Wayne is not, in fact, a furry.

Wonder Woman #7 - "Gifted" (2024)

It's pretty clear that's what happened in the previous main continuity, when he was a member of the Justice League for a surprisingly long time and then reverted back to omnicidal mania very quickly once they needed a villain. My big fear is that despite everything Joshua Williamson is setting up, Lex is just going to immediately go back to Generic Evil Rich Guy when a new author takes over, with his entire previous characterization reduced to, "Oh, uh, that was just an evil trick. Eeeeevil!"

Releasing as a special oversized anniversary issue, Batman/Superman: World's Finest #25 will tell a new lead-in story showing the first meeting between The Joker and Lex Luthor as the two supervillains join forces to cause trouble for Batman and Superman. (source)

the next arc in mark waid’s world’s finest is going to feature a lex+joker team up! this will mark the third book where waid has written luthor, after birthright and the unfinished last days of lex luthor book, but i don’t recall him writing the joker before (or if he has, he hasnt written much of him).

i’m interested to see waid’s take on the joker since he tends to pull more from silver/bronze age than modern comics. seems like specifically it’s going to be a retelling of the first luthor/joker team up (similar to waid’s retelling if the first superman/batman team up).
