DC Comics has revealed Sean Murphy’s White Knight universe isn’t over yet, with a planned Batman: White Knight Presents: Generation Joker #1 launching May 9th. The series will feature a story by Murphy and is written by Katana Collins and Clay McCormack featuring art by Mirka Andolfo.
“I’m really excited to be expanding the world of White Knight with this new book,” said Sean Murphy. “I think Clay, Katana, and Mirka are doing a great job of adding more variety to the characters and the universe. Anyone who’s wondering what happens to Bruce and the gang after the big reveal in Beyond the White Knight will want to check this out.”
So what’s Batman: White Knight Presents: Generation Joker #1 about?
When the rebellious twins run away in a stolen Batmobile, only Joker Jack Napier’s quickly fading hologram has any hope of getting them home safely and keeping them out of the family business. But a life of crime isn’t the only temptation young Bryce and Jackie are facing: the kids uncover a dark secret that could bring their dad back to life for good! With a wild array of Batman’s former enemies and allies on their tails, will the kids succeed in reviving the Dark Knight’s greatest foe? Find out as Jackie and Bryce take center stage in the White Knight Universe!
DC also made note, revealed at the end of Batman: Beyond the White Knight #8, Murphy will write and draw the upcoming World’s Finest: White Knight. The story will address Superman and Wonder Woman’s inclusion in the White Knight Universe and will feature unique twists on the classic characters, including Diana Prince as an F.B.I. Agent. Stay tuned for a future announcement on when fans can expect the series to launch.
The first issue will feature covers by Murphy, Andolfo, Dan Mora and foil and black and white variants too. Check out a preview below!
