10 MUST READ Batman Stories!

10. White Knight

(Batman: White Knight, Batman: Curse of the White Knight)

Heavily inspired by the classic tv show: Batman the Animated Series, Sean Murphy takes those characters we all know and love down a new, stand-alone, dark and gritty tale.

The first book (Batman: White Knight) follows the events of a seemingly “sane” Joker as he accuses Batman of being Gotham’s true villain. Paired with a side plot of two Harley Quinns, and a whole array of classic batmobiles in use, White Knight is destined to be a future classic.

The follow up run, Curse of the White Knight, sees the return of fan-favourite character Azrael wage his holy crusade in the streets of Gotham once again, in a 3-way war between himself, Joker, and Batman. Unfortunately due to the current global situation, as of writing this in June 2020, we are still awaiting the final issue with bated breath - but we are positive it will not disappoint!

The “Murphyverse” is a great starting point for new readers but also a familiar and rewarding read for long time Batman fans. Additionally, Sean Murphy’s artwork and “comicstry” is second to none. These books cannot be recommended highly enough.
