Science from the University of North Texas and a BFA from the To write for over a dozen websites, including 411 Legendary DC Comics digital fanzine Fanzing,īefore receiving his own column, The Mount. Matt Morrison has been writing about comics since before the word I envy those readers new to this wonderfully wicked world for the journey they are about to begin, though as an old fan this return to Gotham City is far from unpleasant. The only flaw to this diamond is that it cannot stand on its own and some familiarity with the original series (to say nothing of Batman Beyond) is needed to fully appreciate it. Murphy’s artwork remains on-point and Dave Stewart’s colors as suitably vivid as in earlier outings. If you were a fan of the original White Knight series, rest assured that you will find more of the same to enjoy here. The script for this issue is as full and rich as those which came before. Thankfully, Murphy still has a few aces up his sleeve and finds several ways to defy all expectations, which I shall not enumerate. The city is in need of a hero and given the familiar figure on the cover and the title, you might be forgiven for thinking you know where this is going. It spoils little to reveal that it is set in the future of Sean Murphy’s White Knight reality and that Gotham City has become even worse in the absence of a Batman.

I’m reluctant to describe the story contained within this first issue of Batman: Beyond The White Knight. BATMAN: BEYOND THE WHITE KNIGHT #1/ Script, Art and Covers by SEAN MURPHY/ Colors and Cover Colors by DAVE STEWART/ Letters by ANDWORLD DESIGN/ Published by DC BLACK LABEL
