Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1

[cyberghostface]

"I think of the White Knight series as a constant '3rd Act' story. Meaning that each book will feel like the last chapter of Batman. But they won't be.

In Curse, Bruce is struggling with where to take Batman. On one hand he knows Batman has helped Gotham. On the other, he knows continuing to be Batman is problematic, and that you can't really have law, order, and justice while also allowing vigilantism. But coming out might also hurt the city.

To make things worse, Joker decides to begin his 'finale' — one he doesn't plan on surviving — by telling Batman 'the greatest joke in Gotham'. The joke is this: Batman can never fix crime in Gotham, because of the 'curse' brought on by the Waynes." -- Sean Paul Murphy

Interesting that Murphy seems to be staying away from the idea of Azrael as an unstable ally of Batman, I would have thought that would be exactly the kind of thing to fit with his take on Batman. Still, Azrael's gonna look cool as hell when Murphy draws him.
