Batman: White Knight - What if the Joker was cured? Having overcome his madness, the Clown Prince of Crime returns as Jack Napier and takes on what he sees as his noblest mission - saving Gotham from its greatest threat... Batman.

As Jack Napier exposes corruption, gains the public's trust and becomes the city's hero, the line between hero and villain begins to blur. Sean Gordon Murphy creates a bold, politically charged and visually stunning alternative interpretation of the Batman mythology that essentially rewrites the eternal conflict between Batman and the Joker.
