Some thoughts about Batman: White Knight #4

Batman is becoming what he always hated.

Bruce is starting to lose it and now is up to Jack Napier to find a way to save Gotham but only if he's past doesn't come back for him.

Well, this worked better than the last chapter.

Seam Murphy offers a new chapter where he continues to develop his vision of a Joker going sane. Since the beginning, it was clear that this is not the classic irredeemable version of the Clown Prince of Crime but a more sympathetic one, one that actually realizes his mistakes and can even try to get a complete new life in favor of others. This is perfectly seen in his motivations for saving the city as well as in his relationship with Harley which seems like is actually healthier than ever.

The parallels quickly appear once that Batman starts to descend into madness which contrasts nicely with the Joker gaining his own sanity. This is also demonstrated once that the other Harley who loves her demented Mr. J appears and fortunately, Murphy stops portraying her as a parody and shows a more complex situation.

Murphy's artwork remains stunning with wonderful and gothic visuals and expressive characters that made a solid script even better.

Good read, hope it continues this way.
