It ends the arc that started back in July 2022 with issue #1062 and ran for about two years, interrupted only by 2023's line-wide " Knight Terrors " crossover.

Issue #1088 had Batman fighting Dariah Orgham, impetus of the Orgham family's work to take physical and metaphysical control of Gotham City. He'd overpowered her in combat as those on his side had beaten her servants.

She wasn't beaten yet - the power that she wielded afforded her a monster form, which she took on and threw at Batman.

( Batman met her. )

The revolution's the puppet one the Orgham family put up in issue #1086 - Gothamites they'd worked up and infused with spirits, led by the figurehead Shadow Angel against Gotham City's " elites ".

Against it was Batman, most explicit of the challenges to the Orghams' total metaphysical control over Gotham, returned from the near-total defeat they'd dealt him.

With him was Nightwing, Azrael, and Batgirl - part of the response he'd been organizing.

( Against them was a possessed mob. )

It's continuing from issue #1085 - Batman leveraging Gotham's " darkness " against the order the Orgham family'd imposed on the city.

Having recruited the Maestro and Mr. Freeze, he came next to Harvey Dent.

Two-Face, running a low-key operation on Gotham's rails, met him gun in hand.

( Two-Face's goons lay defeated by Batman. )

In issue #1076, she'd started gathering help.

Issue #1077 opened on the day of what she was trying to save him from - his public execution.

Batman was led to the gallows by the Orgham retainer Shavhod, who taunted him.

( She poured her words into his ears, his azmer-wracked body. )

It's following from the end of issue #1075, which had Batman taken into the custody of the Orghams.

He's chained up in a cell, a demon eating away at his memories - at the Orgham family's mercy, kept to be another instrument of their Gotham-shaping work.

The family's scion, Arzen - the public face of the Orghams - came to the Bat, to Bruce Wayne whom he'd come to consider a friend.

" Only a few hours before you will be walked to your death. "

( His words fit the air. )

A few weeks ago, we had How to meet people the Jean Paul Valley Way, where Gotham's favourite Catholic comes face to face with the plate armoured Poor Fellow, a woman with a hobby of head-lopping. That was from a one shot story (that collected a tale first told as a back up in three issues)

This time, it's the #1 of Sword of Azrael, where our hero finds himself on an island monastery.

( But first...fashion )

( In this series... )

stubbleupdate

Long time readers will remember that I consider women in medieval armour a strong aesthetic, as showcased when Wonder Woman encountered a time displaced Iron Maiden, Valda.

And in Sword of Azrael, Dark Knight of the Soul (the one shot that collects the back ups from Urban Legends, not the just-released #1 of a 6 part mini series, which I haven't got round to reading yet), there's another one!

( The Summary )

( and the story )
If you want to find out, buy the book!

Azrael is training with Nightwing and somebody's head gets turned by the former Boy Wonder.

"Joker's BIG REVEAL is here, and it's something that no writer has ever done with Bruce. I won't spoil what is it, but I worry it's the kind of thing that might cause some readers to turn on me. Normally my readers are very cool and open minded, so hopefully I'm worried for nothing. When I first told my editors the idea, they said 'you can't do that to Batman.' Then they thought about it a while and said 'Actually you should TOTALLY do that, because no one could ever do this in the mainline.'" --Sean Murphy

"Of course you're allowed to romanticize the JOKER. We SHOULDN'T, because he's evil, yet many of us still do. Why? Same reason we love horror movies and Halloween--many of us like the idea of flirting with the devil. I think that's why I think Jack Napier works in White Knight. You're allowed to like the Joker (or even think he's sorta sexy) without people judging you. Because it gives you hope that maybe Joker ain't all bad." -- Sean Murphy

"I loved JOKER. Such a risk, but it worked so well. And I think it'll pay off for Warner Bros. My biggest question the whole time was 'how the hell did this get approved?' Maybe Warner doesn't need to do the Avengers model--maybe the better move is doing low budget, non CGI, script/character driven scripts." -- Sean Murphy
