The title is Curse of the White Knight. A description is as follows: The Joker recruits Azreal to help him expose a shocking secret from the Wayne's family's legacy-and to run Gotham into the ground!As Batman rushes to protect the city and his loved ones from danger, the mystery of his ancestry unravels, dealing a devastating blow to the Dark Knight. No idea how many issues or when a complete physical release is planed, but if you pick this up and love it, just know a sequel is in the works! (Back to the review) Batman White Knight is an 8 issue arc released from 2017-2018 written and drawn by Sean Murphy with Matt Hollingsworth doing the colours. This also the first collected edition that's part of the Black Label but there are others that are going to be re released under the Black Label such as Watchmen (Wikipedia), Superman Year One (Wikipedia), and I've seen the Dark Knight series by Frank Miller listed on desertcart among others. This arc follows the Batman New 52 side of things which I haven't yet read but plan on it. The story here is Batman is chasing the Joker, once Batman has caught him he brutally beats him even though the Joker had surrendered, this is witnessed by GCPD along with Batwoman and Nightwing. The act is recorded or photographed and brought forth and displayed on the news. With this new look at Batman, it sparks debate between residents in Gotham if Batman really is doing good for the community. With the Joker on meds that have brought his sanity back, he's building a case for his freedom and demands Batman be made accountable for his actions not just for himself but other citizens of Gotham. It's an interesting story and one I've been eagerly waiting to dive into. Here we see the roles reversed where Joker now Jack Napier, is now the “White Knight” and Batman as the villain. It was great getting to see Jack Napier and how clever he is and with Joker gone the impact it has on the city. We also learn that Jokers obsession with Batman is caused from him being his biggest fan (as hinted on the cover) which was interesting. I have always been impressed and thought it was more interesting when the art and writing are done by a sole person, they are able to deliver the story they imagine and draw it as they imagine it. The story was written very well with a great plot that was gripping every second with several surprises along the way. The artwork was also well done and to my style, with detail where needed but also providing a dark mood. Overall, one of the more enjoyable Batman tales I've read and one I'll definitely come back to. White Knight delivers a well executed and uniquely gripping story with great artwork and because of this, it perhaps could one day be regarded as one of the must read Batman titles on a list and in my opinion would be rightfully deserved. I do believe I will look into Sean Murphy's other works if this is what he's capable of. I could easily suggest that any fan of Batman pick up this if you're interested, you won't regret it. Hopefully you found this review helpful and happy reading. Review: A unique take on Batman v Joker - This is a genuinely unique comic book, very original take on what we’ve seen countless times and it felt like it needed it. The way Murphy has drawn this comic book is nothing short of incredible and I love how the colours contrasted to make each character unique. The whole joker is the good guy and Batman is bad can feel a bit melancholy at first but I learned to deal with it. Although, I feel like the repercussions from Batmans antic were a little hamfisted and just used for the plot, a dark Batman that doesn’t care about others? Don’t know about that one. All in all I really enjoyed this comic book, I’d love to check out more of Murphys work as it truly showcases how good he is at drawing these characters (that Harley design sheesh!) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1401279597 | | Best Sellers Rank | 194,985 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 159 in PlayStation 2 Consoles, Games & Accessories 281 in PC Games | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,630) | | Dimensions | 16.8 x 0.9 x 25.9 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9781401279592 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1401279592 | | Item weight | 397 g | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Batman: White Knight (2017-) | | Print length | 168 pages | | Publication date | 9 Oct. 2018 | | Publisher | DC Comics | ## Images ![Batman: White Knight - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sQnA1T-aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sean Murphy delivers a gem that I'm sure will make it on a must read list. *by A***. on 31 December 2018* (Update) Sequel inbound, currently ongoing from 9/10/19 Sean Murphy is currently working on the sequel to this and has already released a few issues.

The way Murphy has drawn this comic book is nothing short of incredible and I love how the colours contrasted to make each character unique. The whole joker is the good guy and Batman is bad can feel a bit melancholy at first but I learned to deal with it. Although, I feel like the repercussions from Batmans antic were a little hamfisted and just used for the plot, a dark Batman that doesn’t care about others? Don’t know about that one. All in all I really enjoyed this comic book, I’d love to check out more of Murphys work as it truly showcases how good he is at drawing these characters (that Harley design sheesh!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid story. A differnt take on many characters *by M***T on 21 June 2019* When people started comparing this to the killing joke I decided I had to take a look myself. Being honest, I don't know what else to compare it too. Unlike the killing joke this is not an origin story. It feels like it could take place during the new 52 era of batman. It poses some interesting questions such as why batman is excused for his more brutish methods of capturing criminals. What happend to Harley Quinn and can Mr freeze ever find a cure for nora, if he does would their be consequences of using it? This also had a dark knight returns vibe to it when batman becomes the adversary in gothams point of view. The joker is proven to be more than a match for batman when he is sane and holding a clear thinking mind. What deducts a star from me is how the third act of the story transpires. It feels a bit cheesy and almost anti climactic, some of the story you were able to predict rather early on too. However this is definitely worth a read. I would also like to mention the art is just stunning and it's always nice to see me freeze. He's probably the only character in comic books that I feel needs to be included In more stories. ## Frequently Bought Together - Batman: White Knight - Batman: Curse of the White Knight - Batman Beyond the White Knight --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65687904-batman-white-knight](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/65687904-batman-white-knight) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
