“Unlike anything we’ve seen before.” -Nerdist “Cinematic and graphic.” -A.V. Club “Murphy was truly born to draw Batman.” -IGN “A breakout hit.” -SyFy Wire The impossible has happened: The Joker has become...sane. Batman: White Knight follows the man now known as Jack Napier as he embarks on a quest to heal the city he once terrorized. After reconciling with his long-suffering partner, Harley Quinn, he sets in motion a carefully plotted campaign to discredit the one person whom he views as Gotham City’s true enemy: Batman. His crusade exposes a decades-long history of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and transforms Napier into a city councilman and civic hero. But when the sins of his past return to threaten everything that he has accomplished, the distinctions between savior and destroyer begin to break down for both The Joker and Batman alike-and with them any hope for Gotham’s future. Writer and artist Sean Murphy delivers an extraordinary examination of comics’ greatest antagonists in Batman: White Knight, exploring justice, corruption, activism and the darkest depths of mental illness. Collecting the acclaimed eight-issue miniseries, this stunning graphic novel also marks the debut of the DC Black Label imprint, which features classic DC characters in all-new, standalone stories written and illustrated by world-class authors and artists.

""Crime has become your therapy, and Gotham your victim. You've dragged us all into your perpetual Halloween!" <br/><br/>I loved Batman: White Knight. This book took me through all the emotions, and it was so damn good. It was creative, entertaining, funny, heartbreaking, and more (in all honesty, I cried twice while reading this, but that may have had something to do with the champagne). <br/><br/>I haven't really enjoyed a Batman graphic novel since Death of the Family several years ago - I got burned out on the current run, and this limited series was so refreshing. I can't wait for the sequel to start this summer, and I also think it would make a fantastic DC animated movie."
