| Batman: Curse of the White Knight (Comic Book) | comment |
The sequel to Batman: White Knight from writer/artist Sean Murphy, wherein The Joker, now fully "recovered" from his stint as Jack Napier, resolves to ruin everything Batman and Jack started in cleaning up Gotham city's corruption. To this end, he collaborates with the "Elites", a group of Gotham's upper crust that seeks to maintain the profits they gained from Batman's previous war on crime, and together they recruit Azrael to take Batman's place as Gotham's new destructive crime fighter.Batman is meanwhile still reeling from the events of White Knight, grappling with the prospect of a Gotham that's better off without him and clashing with his allies' insistence that he integrates into the Gotham PD as they have. His doubts only get worse when, in the process of laying waste to Gotham, Joker and Azrael reveal a secret about his lineage that throws into question everything he believed about his family's legacy and his place in it.Be warned that while the story is not the last White Knight continuity comic, it does serve as a finale to many of the elements that are ubiquitous to the Batman mythos, and as such many of the tropes it contains are major spoilers.A sequel, Batman: Beyond the White Knight began publication starting March 2022. Inbetween, Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn was published in 2020-2021, and Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood in 2022, both illustrated by artists other than Murphy. | |

Age Lift | |
| Batman: Curse of the White Knight (Comic Book) / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: Azrael was a college student when he first appeared in the original comics. Here, he's a graying Vietnam veteran with decades of combat experience under his belt. Jason Todd shows up at the very end of the series with a distinctly more rugged and mature appearance (complete with wrinkles) than his youthful twenty-something mainstream counterpart. This is coupled with the revelation in the previous comic that he was Robin before Dick Grayson, rather than after. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Batman: Curse of the White Knight (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: This series doesn't pull any punches; Azrael kills Gordon at the end of Issue #3, then in Issue #5, he decapitates Bane before going on to murder just about the rest of the Rogues Gallery minus Joker. Then Harley shoots Joker at the end of Issue #6, killing both him and Jack at Jack's request. Although he slits his throat at his urging, Bruce doesn't allow Azrael to die by tending to the throat wound. | |

End of an Age: Serves as this to the Batman mythos and many of the iconic elements and characters associated with him, with Wayne Manor and the Batcave being destroyed, Gordon being murdered, and many of Batman's rogues being killed off, with Joker dying last. After all that, Batman's secret identity is exposed and he's soon to be put on trial. | |

Looks Like Orlok: Lafayette "Laffy" Arkham was a noble that ran Fort Arkham in the 17th century who suffered from consumption and a spinal hump caused by arthritic inflammation. He would eventually be given a Historical Villain Upgrade over the years, with rumors saying that he was a vampire that hunted children. | |

Papa Wolf: When Joker turns his violent behaviour towards his family and kidnaps his kids to punish Harley, Jack forcibly begins Fighting from the Inside to stop himself from hurting his children. Eventually, Jack tries to kill himself to protect his family from his evil alter ego, but is unable to stay in control long enough to see it through, and resorts to begging Harley for death. She grants him his wish. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Bruce ultimately defeats Azrael, ending his reign of terror and saving Gotham, then surrenders himself to the GCPD for all of his actions and donates all of his money to the city. Bullock gets promoted to Sergeant and the GCPD starts to recruit vigilantes into their force. As Bruce prepares for his trial, he seeks to talk to a certain someone who's been assigned to guard his cell — Jason Todd. | |

Dramatic Irony: Gordon chews Batman out for getting Barbara involved in his war on crime when her identity is revealed. Later, after having some time to cool off, he admits that it isn't Batman's fault, he's sorry for blowing his lid, and that he just wants to have a relationship built on trust between them. Unfortunately, the person he thinks is Batman is actually Azrael, who kills him shortly after. So Batman never hears his apology and continues to think Gordon died blaming him. | |

Moment of Lucidity: Two in the case of Joker and Jack Napier. Harley reveals that she created the pills that temporarily cured Jack after she was received a three of diamonds card (representing Harley herself) with a note written on it that said "Don't give up on me. -J". Batman and Harley try and appeal to Jack Napier's personality, buried deep in the Joker, and fail every time. It is not until she brings her newborn children for him to see in Issue #5 that Jack is able to surface long enough to tell her where the Blood Angels are hiding and the dying message Laffy wrote in his crypt. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: In Issue #6, Jack gains control long enough to try and kill himself, on the grounds that Joker will never leave Harley and their children alone. When the Joker won't let Jack do it, he begs Harley to instead, and she does. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Batman: Curse of the White Knight (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Long ago, Edmond Wayne killed Lafayette Arkham with a whip of bat leather. In the present, it's speculated that Laffy was a vampire. If the latter winds up being true, then we have a vampire who was killed with a whip. | |

Kill and Replace: Ruth and the Elites' plan was for Azrael to quietly kill Bruce Wayne and take his place as Batman. She's quite miffed when he instead goes rogue and causes a major scene by killing Gordon. | |
