Batman: Curse of the White Knight

Wow!!!! I don't care if this is Else world, What if or Black label. This is right up there with my favourite Batman stories. It is not often that the sequel is even more epic than the original but this one manages it. If I had one complaint it is i want more!!!!! This story took me through every emotion imaginable. Great twist in the story. Usually I hate when main characters are killed off, but even this was done well and every death ment something. Slight spoiler NO ONE is safe or off limits. I love the artwork, and the story us just amazing. Incredible character development, every character is done incredibly well. In fact I I even look at the characters in a new light now. I am of two minds because as much as I loved this book and really want to know what happens next. I have no idea how this story could be topped I a sequel. This is as close to the perfect comic/book as I have read. Even the bonus material (bonus story) is incredible. Every chapter starts with a full page issues cover. The cover gallery at the end the book has full page art if the varient covers. This is a myst read for any Batman fan, comic fan, reader, or writer. If you are not a fan at the begining you will be by the end.

Sequels are often never as good as the original. However this is not the case for curse of the white knight! I was gripped from the start! And oh boy is the art work absolutely beautiful! You get a real sense on this worlds Batman and Gotham. Sean Murphy has done it again and I for one hope that he goes for another book! This is a must read for anyone who loves Batman and the first novel!

So many "Elseworlds" or alternate universe books take a very straightforward approach and don't really explore much of anything beyond their premise. What I liked most about White Knight was that it didn't do that and rather tried to present a fully realised alternate world with slightly different versions of characters we know. That is continued with Curse of the White Knight, with more familiar heroes and villains appearing with somewhat unfamiliar characterisations that lead to drastically different events than in the main DC continuity. It's still novel and well thought-out, but perhaps with slightly fewer big ideas than the first book. I also really like Murphy's artstyle, which helps. I'm looking forward to reading the final installment of the trilogy. If you liked White Knight then there is really no reason not to pick up Curse of the White Knight. Conversely, if you haven't read White Knight, I would strongly recommend reading it before picking up this book.

Another fantastic story, perfectly told through art and direction. Some really interesting exploring of certain characters and a profoundly bizarre ending that left me wondering about other implications and ideas.

Love the white knight series. You should read it all.

Fantastic artwork. A story that is unpredictable and full of possibilities. Can't wait for part three of the saga.

Amazing story and amazing follow up from the first one which was also amazing

Was a great read!

Loved it, this and white knight is the pinnacle of great new batman graphic novels

The White Knight series is an excellent addition to the Batman universe. There's an Elseworlds quality where it isn't canon, but there's enough borrowed from BTAS, the ongoing comic book canon, and even fun quips and lines from Burton's Batman to make it familiar and entertaining for fans of Batman as a whole. The chosen changes in this alternative reality make sense as well and still fit the characters and their motivations. Lots of cool Knight's Templar elements, more subtle societal references that add to the storyline without preaching, great art, intricate and dependable characterization, and a thrilling story from start to finish. This volume also includes Von Freeze, which gives an interesting background to Freeze's story in the same way that Dini did with his Heart of Ice episode for BTAS!

Sean Gordon murphy’s art and entire interpretation of Gotham is majestic and stands out from countless others. The product itself was fine , good paper quality and it arrived completely untouched.

An excellent follow-up to Batman: White Knight! While the 2nd volume doesn't have quite the same 'fresh' energy as the original story, the inclusion of Azrael & that bad-ass 90s Batman armored suit makes it a more than fair trade-off. The art continues to be top-notch, and the character designs & cover sketches at the back are a nice addition.
