Episode 192!?
In this episode, Lex and Simon revisit their review of the graphic novel "Batman: White Knight" by Sean Murphy. They discuss the unique premise, the art style, character development, and how it compares to other Batman stories.
Premise and Setting

"Batman: White Knight" presents an alternate universe where the Joker, now cured of his insanity, seeks to expose Batman's dark side and become a hero to Gotham City.

The story delves into issues of police brutality and the consequences of vigilante justice.

Art Style and Colors

The art style is praised for its sketchy yet detailed approach, creating a perfect dark atmosphere for Gotham City.

The use of neutral colors contrasts the traditional bright tones of superhero stories, enhancing the overall mood.

Character Development

The reimagining of classic Batman characters like the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Nightwing is well-executed and refreshing.

The Joker's transformation into Jack Napier showcases his genius intellect and cunning nature, making him a formidable adversary for Batman.

Harley Quinn's Role

The story cleverly twists the narrative by revealing that the original Harley Quinn abandoned her alter ego, leaving the Joker unaware of the change.

Harley's evolution as a character and her decision to become the new Joker add depth to her role in the story.

The GTO and Team Batman

The GTO (Gotham Terrorist Oppression) is an interesting addition to the story, consisting of former Batman allies who work with the police.

The Bat-family's new roles and their unique Batmobiles add excitement to the action sequences.

The Sequel Tease

The mention of a sequel book leaves readers intrigued about the future of this alternate Batman universe.

Some elements, such as the Nazi storyline, feel rushed, but they don't significantly detract from the overall enjoyment.


"Batman: White Knight" offers a compelling and self-contained story that challenges the traditional dynamics between Batman and the Joker. The art style and character development are highlights, making it a must-read for Batman fans. The sequel promises to delve deeper into this fascinating universe.
