The sword of Azrael unleashed! The urban jungle that is Gotham City is being torn apart by the
war between Batman and the Joker a war in which the difference between hero and villain has
become impossibly blurred. Now with his do-gooding Jack Napier personality submerged beneath
an ascendant Clown Prince of Crime the Joker is ready to take that war to the next level and
his army has a new recruit. Wielding a flaming sword and bearing the weight of hundreds of
years of history on his shoulders Azrael is a knight darker than any that Gotham has seen
before. One by one the Batman s enemies will fall beneath his blade and bit by bit this new
crusader will remake Gotham City into his own version of heaven on Earth. Only Batman and his
estranged allies can stop him but the distrust between them runs deep. And when the Joker and
Azrael expose the hidden history of the Wayne family all faith in the Dark Knight may be
shattered for good. Acclaimed writer and artist Sean Murphy continues his thrilling and
thought-provoking reimagining of the Batman mythos in Batman: Curse of the White Knight a
stunning sequel to his groundbreaking graphic novel Batman: White Knight. This volume collects
all eight issues of the DC Black Label series as well as the Batman: White Knight Presents Von
Freeze one-shot written by Murphy and illustrated by legendary comics artist Klaus Janson.
