The sword of Azrael unleashed!
The urban jungle that is Gotham City is being torn apart by the war
between Batman and the Joker--a war in which the difference between hero
and villain has become impossibly blurred. Now, with his do-gooding Jack
Napier personality submerged beneath an ascendant Clown Prince of Crime,
the Joker is ready to take that war to the next level--and his army has
a new recruit.
Wielding a flaming sword and bearing the weight of hundreds of years of
history on his shoulders, Azrael is a knight darker than any that Gotham
has seen before. One by one, the Batman's enemies will fall beneath his
blade--and bit by bit, this new crusader will remake Gotham City into
his own version of heaven on Earth.
Only Batman and his estranged allies can stop him--but the distrust
between them runs deep. And when the Joker and Azrael expose the hidden
history of the Wayne family, all faith in the Dark Knight may be
shattered for good.
Acclaimed writer and artist Sean Murphy continues his thrilling and
thought-provoking reimagining of the Batman mythos in Batman: Curse of
the White Knight, a stunning sequel to his groundbreaking graphic novel
Batman: White Knight. This volume collects all eight issues of the DC
Black Label series as well as the Batman: White Knight Presents Von
Freeze one-shot written by Murphy and illustrated by legendary comics
artist Klaus Janson.
