The debut of Generation Joker lives up to the White Knight hype. A worthy continuation of Sean Murphy's brilliantly engineered Elseworld's take on Batman. The first issue offers up the perfect mix of excitement and intrigue as we finally learn more about this take on Jack Napier/Joker. Read Full Review

The White Knight concept advances certain elements of the Batman mythos in interesting ways. It may feel more than a little bit like a weirdly insubstantial fugue on many of the central figures in Gotham City, but its managed to find the right angle on everything to give it fresh depth. Honestly, though, that may be a little more than it deserves. Batman and his extended ensemble have been around for a long time. DC might be served a bit better by exploring new characters altogether. Read Full Review

Some comics are pure product, meaning they simply exist as more of a thing to be purchased without justifying their own existence. Such is the case with Batman: White Knight Presents Generation Joker #1, which continues to expand the moderately popular miniseries Batman: White Knight into an alternate vision of DC Comics that underwhelms at every turn.

I really do feel like the whole White Knight universe is the epitome of having a cool idea and then extrapolating on it so much that every little bit of it is over-explained and over-done... So the whole White Knight universe is the epitome of Star Wars. I don't dislike this book so far but I really have to wonder if it's worth exploring these things. Now, to be fair, it seems like this is mostly connected to that Harley Quinn book, which is the only White Knight book I haven't read. It may hit better with the context of that book. I do feel like the writers are still getting used to writing for comics though. Some of these pages needed to be cut down a bit. I'm going to read the rest of this, but this first issue wasn't the best.

The White Knight Universe was supposed to end - and then it didn't. DC probably realized that these Bat Books are the best Bat Books on the shelves so they extended the whole she-bang. Now Murphy the Great is working on White Knighting 'Wonder Dubs' and the JLA while his wife (who also writes steamy erotica, grrr) and this Clay McSchnooglydoogly dude writes this Joker Kids thing with art by Mirka Andolfo; she of the extremely naughty sexy pig and wolf art fame. It's okay. Feels like Batman the Animated Series not the gritty White Knight with a cliffhanger that feels like a Batman TV 1966 type ending. I wish this Clay McSchnooglydoogly dude would be jettisoned to some Star Wars drivel and Katana Collins was let loose on her own. Not sure if I can stomach 6 issues of this but I'll go along for the ride for now. Full take and Sean Murphy reading his wife's BDSM book at:
