Loved the story, as someone who is not a comic book follower, I appreciated that the story was really easy to dive into and didn't require extensive background knowledge on my part.

Batman: White Knight is a love story and no one can convince me otherwise.
It dealt with different kinds of love: the familial love, the romantic love, the toxic kind of love, the love for the community, the love for justice.
I love Batman, but I don’t think I’ve read enough to confidently say that this was the first one that pointed out the flaws in Batman’s way of protecting Gotham.
Yes, Batman does help put away the super criminals. He keeps them in check. The big question is, who keeps him in check? That was one of the biggest question in this volume and I really liked how it unfolded.
Was it too quickly? Yes. I don’t think a couple of hours in jail could change someone’s perception on things. I would have loved to see him struggle more before he comes to the conclusion of his wrong doings too.
I want to briefly talk about Harley and Joker.
Their relationship has never been the most natural one. I think this is the most natural their relationship has ever been and I loved seeing it.
I’m not going into spoiler territory here but I did like the things that Harley did and ended up doing in the end.
I kind of had an idea what was going on early on and I was glad my guess was right.
Team Harley all the way!

Better than I'd expected, but still much slower than it needs to be.

Fascinating take on the Batman universe, the art is just one of the many highlights in the book that made me excited to explore the Murphyverse more.

If there ever was a five-star book, this is it. Murphy's art is tremendous, and the muted colors from Hollingsworth are worth the price of admission alone.
The story feels like the final Batman story, but in a different way than Dark Knight Returns or Year 100. It really feels like Gotham might outgrow the need for a Batman. I don't want to spoil anything, but this was a superb read.
This is a book that wouldn't be written ten years ago, and politics play a major part, but you don't really feel preached at. This is done right.
If you're on the fence about reading newer Batman, don't worry about it. This has nothing to do with the Rebirth or anything like that.
