Description
"Ancient curses are awoken and timeless secrets are revealed in this explosive sequel to the critically acclaimed blockbuster Batman: White Knight from writer/artist Sean Murphy! The Joker recruits Azrael to help him expose a shocking secret about the Wayne family's legacy--and run Gotham City into the ground! As Batman rushes to protect the city and his loved ones from danger, the mystery of his ancestry unravels and Batman begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself and show more his place in Gotham. With Gotham City's identity and institutions hanging in the balance, Barbara Gordon decides to take matters into her own hands -- but will her rogue actions play right into The Joker's plans? After tragedy strikes, Renee Montoya steps into the fray to lead the GTO and restore order to the chaos that is quickly consuming Gotham City."-- show lessTags

Even better than the (also quite strong) original "White Knight" series, although my main complaint still holds: Giving the Joker a sane and an insane persona he switches between makes him too similar to Two-Face for my tastes, and Harley seems too sane and well adjusted by far -- and having finished the second volume, I therefore still think the story would have landed better if it had just been written about him (and Harley Quinn switched out for Gilda Dent or some such). It is, however, a quibble.
