For those who haven’t read it, Batman: White Knight flips the world of the Caped Crusader on its head. It introduces us to Jack Napier, the one-time Joker who has now been cured of his madness and is on a mission to save Gotham City from Batman, who he views as the city’s biggest danger. Most provocative of all, Jack just may be right. White Knight’s Batman is truly unhinged and has become even more terrifying than the villains he puts down.
Murphy wrote and drew the original series, and he’ll do the same for Curse of the White Knight, which looks like it introduces Azrael to the mix. But which side the longtime Bat-ally may find himself on in the upside-down world of White Knight remains to be seen.
