A success with fans and critics alike, Batman: White Knight -- Sean Murphy's gritty, postmodern take on the Batman mythos -- received a sequel in Batman: Curse of the White Knight, which expanded the cast and subverted expectations of classic tropes within the franchise. With Curse of the White Knight halfway done, Murphy has provided his tentative plans for next year, including the completion of Curse of the White Knight and launch of a third, currently untitled story in the White Knight Universe.
In addition to his work in the White Knight Universe, Murphy teased a new creator-owned original graphic novel in the interim. His previous creator-owned projects include Punk Rock Jesus for Vertigo Comics and and Chrononauts with Mark Millar through Image Comics.
With colors by Matt Hollingsworth, the Batman: White Knight series has seen Bruce Wayne contend with the realization that he enjoys doling out brutal punishment more than an altruistic commitment to justice. This puts him on a collision course with the authorities and his iconic villains as he contemplates the possibility of redemption.
Sean Murphy's Batman: Curse of the White Knight #5 is scheduled to go on sale Dec. 11 from DC Comics.
