Is Batman really the hero that Gotham needs? That’s the question that Sean Gordon Murphy’s Batman: White Knight asked last year, as it examined the very real cost of devastation that the dark knight’s war on crime had billed Gotham City with. This year, the reborn Joker is striking back with a deadly secret that threatens to destroy the Wayne family legacy in Batman: Curse of the White Knight.
In this explosive sequel to Sean Murphy’s critically acclaimed blockbuster BATMAN: WHITE KNIGHT, the Joker recruits a savage partner to help him expose a shocking revelation about the Wayne family’s legacy and run Gotham into the ground. As Batman rushes to protect the city and his loved ones from this corrupt conspiracy, the mystery of his ancestry unravels and deals a devastating blow to the Dark Knight.
You wouldn’t think that a Batman comic book would have time to tackle the idea of love, outside of the most romantic of bruisings that the darkest of knights hands out with knuckle-kisses to enemies, but the second issue of Batman: White Knight is very much a love story. A romance in two dozen pages from writer and artist Sean Gordon Murphy, that details the positive impact that love can have. As well as the more dangerous aspects of a romance that becomes an obsession.
Jack "The Joker" Napier is a man with a plan to save Gotham, and he can’t do it behind the mask of a harlequin of hate. Gotham needs a hero who the people can rally behind, and it certainly isn;t the dark knight in Batman: White Knight.
