Batman The Knight

Batman White Knight 1 Review. Share. Joker becomes the hero Gotham needs. By Jesse Schedeen. What if Joker were the hero and Batman the villain Thats essentially the premise behind this new out of continuity miniseries from Tokyo Ghost artist Sean Gordon Murphy. White Knight is equal parts Joker Going Sane and The Dark Knight Returns, focusing both on the Clown Prince of Crimes abrupt return to sanity and a Gotham City thats grown fed up with Batmans brand of vigilante brutality. And while definitely rough around the edges in some ways, this first issues visual appeal more than makes up for any flaws. In many ways, Jokers personality change isnt the most compelling plot point in this first issue. Batman The Knight TrailerRather, its Batmans sadistic behavior that offers the greatest opportunity to do something new and different with the franchise. Murphy paints Batman as someone whose methods have grown more reckless and extreme with time, to the point where hes alienating his own partners and even the GCPD. A Batman comic that meditates on police brutality and accountability certainly feels timely right about now. Murphys script is occasionally awkward and hamfisted in its use of talking head media pundits, but the ambition is appreciated all the same. As for Murphys portrayal of Joker, its clear that White Knight is drawing inspiration from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullos Batman work. As in Death of the Family, Joker is painted as a villain obsessed with Batman and determined to better his nemesis by constantly pushing him to his limits. Theres a romantic aspect to Jokers Bat obsession, meaning that Joker becomes a sort of jilted lover after even he decides the Dark Knight has gone too far. This take mostly works. Murphy is obviously trying to paint a more human portrait of the villain, including giving him a name and a vague back story. But if anything, Murphy tries a little too hard where Joker is concerned. The characters dialogue frequently seems over written and needlessly lengthy.

Batman Arkham Knight is a 2015 actionadventure video game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Nor does this issue justify the amount of time spent explaining Jokers sudden personality shift. Murphy would have been better off just running with the concept rather than dwelling on the build up. But again, the art makes up for any scripting flaws in this first issue. Murphy was truly born to draw Batman. His style is so dynamic and slathered in gritty texture that it feels right at home in Gotham City. The city itself is as much a character as Batman or Joker here.

Accordingly, Murphy pores massive amounts of detail into his environments. Whether its the dilapidated buildings in Gotham s streets, the oppressive scene of batman and Jokers final showdown or Jokers Arkham cell clogged with Batman merchandise, theres a lot of flair to these pages. Murphy also proves once again that hes a master of action and choreography. His Batmobile chase sequence is second to none.

But while Im looking forward to the inevitable Batman Noir White Knight hardcover, theres no denying that colorist Matt Hollingsworth enhances the impact of Murphys art here. Hollingsworth takes an almost monochromatic approach. His red hues heighten the already considerable intensity of the BatmanJoker showdown. His bold colors bring out the most in the art without obscuring Murphys detailed line work. Batman White Knight 1. In a world where Batman has gone too far, The Joker must save Gotham City.

Set in a world where the Joker is cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, The Joker, now known as Jack, sets about trying to right his wrongs. The Verdict. In terms of story, Batman White Knight has a few hurdles to clear before it can live up to its full potential. This first issue has some dialogue problems and dwells too long on setting the stage for Jokers personality change. But its a promising start all the same, and the gorgeous artwork is worth the price of admission all on its own. Murphys dynamic, gritty style is perfect for bringing Gotham City and its inhabitants to life.
