A Newsweek Best Graphic Novel of the Year
The impossible has happened: The Joker has become a ... hero?
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 standalone stories written and illustrated by
world-class authors and artists.
