The first issue of Batman: Three Jokers was published in August 2020, and the 52-page, $6.99 comic had orders of over 300,000 (see “Jim Lee: Bottom 29-25% of the DC Line Was Losing Money”). Issues #2 and #3 were 48 pages each and also priced at $6.99. The collected edition was released in November 2020 and sold well enough to make BookScan’s top 20 graphic novels list that month, a rarity for a superhero title (see “November 2020 NPD BookScan”). Since the original collected edition was 160 pages, the Absolute Edition will presumably have some bonus material.
