Punchline is introduced in this era and has no appearances before it.

Punchline is initially introduced through a few brief appearances that keep her mostly shrouded in mystery. Then, aspects of her history and personality begin to come out through The Joker 80th Anniversary special and a few issues of the Batman series. All of this helps set up her appearance in The Joker War (Reading Order). Punchline is one of the major players in this event and her role in it is her most significant of the era. The event also impacts her status quo in a way that is important going forward.

Finally, Punchline’s last appearance in this era is in a one-shot issue of Punchline. This comic reveals a lot about Punchline’s past, explains her current situation, and provides a direct prelude to her role in the next era.
