Batman: White Knight Deluxe Edition

"I love Gotham, and it's time I paid her back."

Set in a world where the Clown Prince of Crime has been cured of his madness, Batman: White Knight follows the man now known as Jack Napier as he embarks on a quest to heal the city he once terrorized. After reconiciling with his long-suffering partner, Harley Quinn, he sets in motion a carefully plotted campaign to discredit the one person whom he views as Gotham City's true enemy: Batman.
 
His crusade exposes a decades-long history of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and transforms Napier into a city councilman and civic hero. But when the sins of his past return to threaten everything that he has accomplished, the distinctions between savior and destroyer begin to break down for both the Joker and Batman alike—and with them any hope for Gotham's future. 
 
Superstar graphic novelist Sean Murphy delivers an extraordinary examination of comics' greatest antagonists in Batman: White Knight, exploring justice, corruption, activism, and the darkest depths of mental illness. This deluxe hardcover edition collects all eight issues of the acclaimed miniseries and features a special behind-the-scenes showcase of Murphy's character designs and preliminary artwork.
