Now , Batman # 99from James Tynion IV , Jorge Jimenez , Tomeu Morey , and Clayton Cowles reveals why Harley ’s been so intent on economise Batman .

When she run across grounds to the contrary , and that Batman might only just lend Joker in if he defeats him , she ’s not having it . She tells Batman that Joker will always one - up himself if he ’s allowed to live . What would be the next step after the topsy-turvydom he ’s wrought in the Joker War ? Therefore , she constitute Batman a deal .

In reception , Batman turns to front Joker without fighting her , the implication being made that Harley ’s words have an force on him . As a upshot , Harley will be the lasting backup if Batman fail and break down by Joker ’s hand . It could also mean that Batman himself may actually create an exception and kill the Joker himself , considering all of the horrors and deaths he ’s caused .
