About the series
In this eight-issue DC series from 2017–2018, Sean Murphy reimagines the Batman mythos through a bold, alternate lens where the Joker is cured and reborn as the hero Jack Napier, seeking to expose Batman as the true menace to Gotham. Murphy, who both writes and draws the series alongside Ivan Reis, crafts a tense, character-driven thriller that flips the dynamic between Bruce Wayne and his greatest foe. Batman: White Knight matters for its provocative exploration of legacy, corruption, and redemption, offering a fresh take on the Dark Knight’s world that prioritizes psychological depth over superpowered spectacle.
