Only complaint the last few pages felt a little sparse to try and end on the cliffhanger. I love that Murphy is being topical - on point ad relevant with the comics world and society in general. I really like these alternative universes / 'what if' scenarios, as they allow writers to play around a bit and explore characters from a different angle. The ultimate male - driven by a lack of control in a chaotic world he created for himself. In Batman: White Knight, Sean Murphy plays with the idea of an unhinged Bruce Wayne whose actions get more and more out of control versus a seemingly cured Joker. He even laughs with a “Bwa-hah-ha-ha!” This Batman is all toxic masculinity. Persona 5 Jokers personality, appearances. This Joker is an annoying, theater-geek, improv-class-taking meta-fanboy.He’s the ultimate extrovert who would rather murder you than not command your attention. In 2017, Sean Gordon Murphy, artist and author of the DC comic Batman: White Knight, announced on Twitter. “I know my way around.” a clever presentation of one of the themes - Batman and the Joker are so similar, mirror images, they are interchangeable. As with DKR, we don’t know the specific timeframe, but it doesn’t matter. I like seeing him do something this ambitious. Sean Murphy is one of the last true superstar artists and a pretty good writer. ![]()
