Batman: Curse of the White Knight The Deluxe Edition

Esperando la continuación, se pone interesante.

I love the White Knight series and bought the White Knight Deluxe Edition earlier this year. I was so impressed with the quality of the book that I pre-ordered this and have been waiting months for it to be delivered!It arrived today, and as soon as I picked it up, I was surprised by how light it felt. I actually got out my kitchen scale and confirmed that despite being 40 pages longer than the previous deluxe edition, this book weighs significantly less. It all comes down to the paper. The pages of this book are not as glossy as the previous edition and feel of a substantially lower quality.I highly recommend the series, and Curse of the White Knight is, in my opinion, even better than White Knight. But this "deluxe" edition was not worth the wait or the cover price.

A great read continues from first. Love these elseworld like stories. Great delivery to. A1

Sequel is as good as the first shot!

The Batman White Knight tales are visually striking and the character of Harley is well done. Unfortunately this is where the good points materially end. While the idea of the joker struggling with himself in the context of mental illness is worth exploring him somehow becoming a new Harvey Dent seems either too repetitive or far too implausible. In addition, and as seems customary of late, the cliched deconstruction of the hero also beggars belief. If Batman is as ruthless as he is made out to be, him looking for a way out is unworkable or conversely if true makes the character appear extremely weak. For example, the only way Batman can be retired is the summary killing of the rogue's gallery. I can't think of a better argument for capital punishment. Things would be better then if Batman did kill the other supervillans. It makes virtually no sense then that a man as ruthless and calculating or one to be anything Gotham needs him to be that he would not become a killer for the greater good. Even more strangely the idea that somehow now when Batman Turns himself in and gives his money away government, which has faired so poorly that a Batman is necessary now magically becomes trustworthy or competent enough that he is no longer needed. In short this arc seems to be a feel good story of our current cultural malaise du jour rather than a timeless quality addition to the legend of Batman. Hopefully, at some point DC will realize that the current trendy look of making the character rather immature and waivering isn't appealing or enduring.
