Knight and Squire is a six-issue 2010 DC Comics miniseries by Paul Cornell and Jimmy Broxton, featuring Cyril Sheldrake, the Earl of Wordenshire and the superhero known as the Knight, and his sidekick Beryl Hutchinson, the Squire. They are the British Batman and Robin.The characters have a long history, the original Knight and Squire appeared in Batman #62 in 1950, in a story entitled "The Batman of England!" In this story, the Knight was Percy Sheldrake, Cyril's father, and Cyril was his Squire. The characters were later featured as members of the Batmen of All Nations, along with the Guacho of South America, the Ranger of Australia, the Legionaire of Italy and the Musketeer of France.Grant Morrison then reintroduced Cyril in JLA (1997), having taken his father's mantle (Percy having been killed by his archenemy Spring-Heeled Jack) and become a member of the Ultramarines, an international no-nonsense superteam. This story also introduced Beryl as the new Squire, a highly intelligent young working class woman who contrasted with the aristocratic Sheldrakes. The duo would later appear in Batman (Grant Morrison), initially in a story which portrayed all the Batmen of Many Nations as damaged in some way, essentially becoming cautionary tales of what Batman could become if he stopped being Batman. Cyril, however, was the one who'd stuck closest to the ideal.That was the status quo when Cornell and Broxton decided to use the characters as a lens to create a whole DC Comics version of the United Kingdom, largely out of whole cloth. Over the course of the miniseries, they fight a sidekick gone bad, a cult of Morris dancers, the Bad Kings of England, the Knight's own costume and The Joker, while maintaining a Stiff Upper Lip and the British sense of humour. They also meet many, many other British heroes (and villains) at the Time in a Bottle pub, all of whom were original to the miniseries.Meanwhile, Morrison made them part of Batman Incorporated, during which Cyril was killed and Beryl succeeded him. This appears to still be canon in the DC Rebirth universe, in which Beryl briefly appears in Doomsday Clock as the leader of the UK's official superteam, Knights Inc. Which, sadly, does not appear to include any of the Cornell-created characters.The Percy Sheldrake Knight makes a silent cameo in the Cold Opening of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Powerless", in which the Batmen of All Nations fight the Jokers of All Nations. | |

Eagleland: Very mixed flavour: Hank Hackenbacker, the Knight's butler, is America the Beautiful, a square-jawed guy whose biggest failing is that he thinks Cyril should be open about his emotions when the "proper" thing to do is bottle them up. The Joker is 'Murica the Boorish, absolutely contemptuous of Britain and everything about it. | |

Knight and Squire (Comic Book) / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Jarvis Poker, the British Joker, was inspired by the Clown Prince of Crime's sense of style, but finds actually committing crimes rather gauche, and isn't very good at it when he tries. Many other Time in a Bottle regulars seem to be likewise, with Squire dividing them into the ones who see the whole thing as a game, and the ones who are actual villains. | |

Shout-Out | |
Knight and Squire (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: So many: Beryl is named after Beryl the Peril from The Topper. Shrike's real name of Dennis Ennis is likewise a reference to Dennis the Menace (UK). The Milkman (and his archenemy Two-Ton Ted from Teddington) are references to Benny Hill's "Ernie, the Fastest Milkman in the West". The Black and White Minstrels are named after The Black and White Minstrel Show. Knight calls Squire by saying "We're needed" in the style of Steed calling Mrs Peel. Anastasia is named after Dan Dare's spaceship. Morris Major is a pun on the Morris Minor car, and possibly the comedy music group Morris Minor and the Majors. His rose-tinted view of how England used to be is meant to suggest another Major, although Cornell acknowledges the fascist undertones aren't. Big Mummy is a reference to the wrestler Big Daddy. The Cidermen are an obvious riff on the Cybermen. Their West Country accents are based on Pigbin Josh from "The Claws of Axos". The Joker says the whole country is Monty Python's Flying Circus. | |

Legacy Character: Three successive Knights and four successive Squires (if you count the 1980s retcon of Percy's brief turn as Squire to the Shining Knight during the Golden Age). There are other legacies introduced in the series, including three generations of Rush Hour (a Sikh man with a white beard, a Sikh man with a dark beard, and a young Sikh woman). | |

Motorcycle Jousting: Since their original appearance in the 1950s, the Knight and the Squire have had lances they use from the back of their motorcycle steeds. In the mini-series, the Knight and Richard III wind up jousting on London Bridge. | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
Knight and Squire (Comic Book) / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Jarvis Poker uses a lot of Double Entendres, comments on the attractiveness of Shrike, and jokes about a man getting him with his trousers round his ankles when visiting the doctor, but it's never clear if this is just part of his persona or not. In the last issue, Faceoff comments that Jarvis felt coming out was "too obvious". | |

Camp | |
Knight and Squire (Comic Book) / int_e540d1e6 | comment |
Camp: This is one of the Joker's complaints about the UK hero and villain scene; the whole thing is far too self-aware and playing into its own ridiculousness. This is why he chooses to be extremely matter-of-fact about his British crime spree, claiming he's injecting some gritty realism. | |

Truce Zone: The Time in a Bottle pub, where Merlin's magic prevents any violence, and which is therefore frequented by both heroes and villains. | |
