The urban jungle, Gotham City, is being ravaged by the war between Batman and the Joker — a war in which the line between hero and criminal has become unbearably blurred.

Now, with the benevolent personality of Jack Napier buried deep beneath a dominant Clown Prince of Crime, the Joker is preparing to take this war
to the next level — and the army has a new recruit.

Wielding a flaming sword and bearing the weight of hundreds of years of history on his shoulders, Azrael is the darkest knight Gotham has ever seen. One by one, Batman's enemies will fall by his blade — and little by little, this new crusader will remake Gotham City into his own version of paradise on Earth.

Only Batman and his estranged allies can stop him — but the lack of trust between them runs deep. And when the Joker and Azrael reveal the hidden history of the Wayne family, every faith in the Dark Knight may be shattered forever.

Acclaimed writer and artist Sean Murphy continues his thrilling and intriguing reinvention of the Batman mythos in BATMAN: CURSE OF THE WHITE KNIGHT, a stunning sequel to the groundbreaking graphic novel Batman: White Knight. This volume collects all eight issues of the DC Black Label series, as well as the one-shot Batman: White
Knight Presents Von Freeze, written by Sean Murphy and illustrated by legendary comic book artist Klaus Janson.
