Batman has been forced to tighten his belt for some time now. Ever since the Joker War, his resources have been significantly limited, and that only continues in the pages of Batman #139 (by Chip Zdarsky, Jorge Jimenez, Tomeu Morey, Clayton Cowles). After breaking away from his family, Batman found himself going back to basics. He maintains his own gear, operates alone, and even monitors things through the police radio. It feels very much like he has been forced into a more limited role than he has been in years.Interestingly, the Joker also finds himself in a similar situation. He has not only managed to burn most of his bridges thanks to his recent conflict with the other Joker, but also finds himself short on manpower thanks to Catwoman’s attempt to end crime in Gotham. In an ironic twist, this might actually be beneficial for Gotham City. Without as many resources to call upon for their work, the two can focus more on each other when they come into conflict, thereby limiting the damage they do as a whole.Likewise, the Joker is also in something of a tight situation. His war with the impostor Joker has exposed just how sick of him the city has become. He has essentially burned every connection he has with Gotham’s major villains because they no longer have the patience for his brand of chaos. While he may have regained control of his gang, it isn’t even a shadow of what it once was. The deaths the war caused, coupled with Catwoman retraining the majority of Gotham’s hired criminals, means he has fewer henchmen, resulting in a slowdown to his plans and forcing him to take part in the physical preparation of his schemes.
