Batman: Curse of the White Knight by Sean Murphy
5.0
Continuing Murphy's alternate Batman timeline, Curse of the White Knight examines the struggles of Gotham's protector in the aftermath of all that Napier wrought. With a mystery stretching far into the past and the city on the brink of changing forever, Bruce, Joker, Harley, and those around them must confront their demons if they are to survive. As each player faces their past and the consequences of their actions and legacies, the decisions they make will shape the future Gotham finds itself stepping into. With Azrael bringing judgment and violence on all who stand in his way, these reckonings will happen one way or another.
Murphy tells a Batman story unlike any other. With Curse of the White Knight, he presses further into the complexities and conflicts of these characters as they struggle with their worse and better selves. Bold, dramatic, intriguing--volume 2 of this saga strikes at the heart of the Batman mythos. The role of the Batman has always been to protect his city. But things are not always so simple as fighting petty crime and mobsters. As the city grows and the legacy of the Batman takes on new form, what role will Bruce Wayne continue to play in this future?
