Issue #47 fits after Batman #95 as Lucius gave Joker the access codes to the Hibernaculum "yesterday". Barbara dug out the implant in her spine (which was fixed next issue when Luke arrived in Gotham to check on Lucius). Nightwing and Red Hood do line up though.
The stuff in Batgirl could potentially happen in a small timeframe. But it would be fairly thin though. Hopefully the next few issues sort it out.
Did anyone read #98?
I liked this issue, one of the best of Tynyon's run so far, really emotional with some comic relief ("bat-tery"), the fight between Harley and Punchline was good (I always love references, the Alex Ross' Joker and Harley Quinn wasn't overlooked!), great art as always by Jorge Jimenez and I enjoyed the word "Batman" being written inside his cape, it was kind of special in that moment.

Yeah this was a good issue especially if Alfred stays dead cause this is some good development for Batman. At this point I considered Harley a member of the Bat family she is literally Bruce best sidekick right now. Well Punchline is out for now but overall I enjoy her don't understand why she is hated so much? So I expect every member of Bruce family to show up except Damian so lets see what Jokers going to do now

Punchline at the end seems to have settled into Pre-Flashpoint Harley level.
Considering Harley Quinn a member of the Bat family is so fucked up. She's a murderer! Why does everybody let that slide?
Tynion is definitely trying very hard to make Harley vs Punchline a thing this is only the second time they've fought(or even talked to each other) and he still has them acting like they have this huge rivalry
not earned at all imo
Bruce has been doing a whole lot of nothing this entire arc
Selina has been doing a whole lot of nothing
I don't even remember why Harley is still in Gotham naturally I would think someone like Barbara or co could have better filled this role in the story
This event is supposed to end next month so that means 3 more issues bare minimum and I guess the Punchline one shot to wrap everything up before DC's new direction kicks off
The Red Hood tie-in (all I've read so far) was good. If a bit jarring considering where the main story for Jason is at this point. But it was fun seeing Jason slice through a horde of Joker goons, drop a building on them (via explosions), and still fight Punchline and mind-controlled Dick up until the last second to try and save Duella.

Since Batman hasn’t meet the clown hunter person I’m going to say that he will kill Joker at the end of all this
