Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Alternate Universe Story Really cool concept of an alt-reality Batman story. The art is fantastic and really compliments the story well. I'd recommend this book to any Batman fan who's looking for something a little different from what's currently out there.

Club   "Murphy was truly born to draw Batman." —IGN “Batman: White Knight asks us to step back and take stock of the long-term impacts that Batman's activity has had on Gotham City.” —Kotaku“A breakout hit.” —SyFy Wire"Batman: White Knight is an entertaining and insightful graphic novel that stands perfectly alongside other classic Batman stories. It will be one that is studied for years to come." —Culturefly "Though emotions are coiled tight throughout much of the tale, Murphy does a brilliant job of balancing action and emotion in a gonzo climax."—Booklist, starred review"This newest take on the Dark Knight will please Batman's legion fans with its innovative and intelligent twists." —Publisher's Weekly "Batman: White Knight written and drawn by Sean Murphy is nothing less than extraordinary." —Fresh Fiction "Murphy’s plot is multifaceted but easy to follow, his artwork is never less than gorgeous, and the depth of the world is utterly astounding....
