Warning: contains spoilers for Batman: White Knight

Artist and writer Sean Murphy will return to the alternate world of Batman: White Knight in 2022 with a sequel that incorporates the universe of Batman Beyond. The hotly anticipated follow-up to the DC Black Label series will include new twists on fan-favorite characters Terry McGinnis and Jason Todd. The first issue of Batman: Beyond the White Knight is set to arrive in March.

The critically acclaimed limited series Batman: White Knight first hit shelves in 2017. The series focused on a newly sane Joker entering the world of politics to expose Batman for the true villain that he’s convinced the Dark Knight truly is. The text itself is committed to reversing the roles of Batman and Joker while highlighting that crime cannot be defeated so simply with violence, as Batman’s brand of justice normally entails. Keeping in with that theme, Batman, realizing that he does take an unnecessarily sick pleasure in punishing criminals, turns in his cowl to Commissioner Gordon at the end of the series.

Beyond the White Knight takes place 10 years after the events of White Knight and its sequel, Curse of the White Knight, while Bruce Wayne is in prison. During Bruce’s penitentiary stint is when a young Terry McGinnis steals his suit. Upon the discovery, Bruce breaks out of prison to enlist the help of former ward Jason Todd to put an end to the Batman mantle once and for all. In an intriguing twist, Jason is Bruce’s first Robin in this series.

In incorporating Batman Beyond’s sensibilities into his world, Sean Murphy transforms the gothic, jaded streets of Gotham into more of a neo-noir nightmare of a not-so-distant utopia. Crafting the evolution of Neo-Gotham has been one of the most fun aspects of re-entering the world of Batman: White Knight for Murphy. “Drawing Neo-Gotham as an upgraded, retrofitted futurescape has been a blast,” Murphy said in a statement. “I’m working hard to blend the Beyond aesthetic with the White Knight world. Batman Beyond and Terry McGinnis fans will get everything they loved about the animated series, as well as a few twists.”

Since the very start of the critically acclaimed animated series Batman Beyond, Bruce Wayne and Terry McGinnis have always been on the same side in a teacher-mentor relationship. This new miniseries promising they’ll be on opposing sides for the sake of this alternate Batman: White Knight universe should make for an enticing concept for old fans to wrap their heads around. Batman: Beyond the White Knight #1, the first of the eight-issue series with artwork and writing from Sean Murphy, will be releasing digitally and in local comic book shops on March 29th, 2022.
