MBM Podcast Ep. 14 Batman: White Knight

Published: Feb. 22, 2021, 3:26 p.m.

Today on the podcast we're discussing the 2017 comic mini-series Batman: White Knight, written by Sean Murphy. Batman: White Knight was the first series published for DC Black Label, an off-shoot of DC comics, which used established DC characters to talk about more adult topics. In Batman: White Knight, we see Batman's archnemesis, The Joker, regain his sanity and sue Batman and the Gotham police department. The Joker in turn becomes an activist and hero for the poor communities in Gotham who don't see Batman as a hero, but an invading force which has been brutalizing them.
