Batman: White Knight

Batman: White Knight presents a unique twist to the Batman mythos, where the lines between hero and villain are blurred. The Joker, now going by the name Jack Napier, has been cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies. In an unexpected turn, he embarks on a mission to save Gotham City from what he believes to be its greatest threat: Batman himself.

After reconciling with his partner Harley Quinn, Jack Napier sets out to rectify his past wrongs. His efforts to heal the city he once terrorized include a campaign to expose corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and earn himself a spot as a city councilman and civic hero. However, as his past sins resurface, the distinction between savior and destroyer begins to fade not just for Jack, but for Batman as well, casting doubt on the future of Gotham.

Writer and artist Sean Murphy, along with Matt Hollingsworth, deliver an extraordinary examination of one of comics' most iconic rivalries, delving into themes of justice, corruption, activism, and mental illness. This story is a part of the DC Black Label imprint, which showcases classic DC characters in new, standalone stories crafted by top-tier authors and artists.
