Rorshach has the Joker dominated in this particular image . There ’s rake flying in all direction and whisk off his clenched fist . Not only is the Joker getting savagely tucker , it looks like Rorschach II take whatever Joker has done personally . As some Twitter responses head out , there also appear to be a silhouette of Batman atop the clock tower watching from above as the beating postulate position .

clear , Rorschach finds a way out of Arkham Asylum at some point in time . That is , if Batman does n’t break him out . It certainly appears that the two are working together in some capacity by the time outcome No . 7 seethe out , but Batman could simply be keeping tab on whatever conflict is happening between Rorschach and the Joker . What ’s clear is that Rorschach II does not like the Joker and feels the demand to ruthlessly pummel him right in the middle of the street .

There are still three progeny between now and the seventh issue ofDoomsday Clock . So distinctly , there ’s still a mickle that needs to happen between Rorschach II , Batman , and the Joker . It remain to be determine how he ends up out of Arkham Asylum . But this   variant cover is certain to make anticipation for this publication when it comes out .

Meanwhile , issue No . 4 ofDoomsday Clockcomes out on Wednesday , March 28 .
