Nope... I'm out. Can't find anything in this series for me! Probably just me, it seems to have very enthusiastic review but I don't enjoy it at all! Nice art!

I found this series to be good so far but not as good as the first book. BUT this issue was very good! Really tucked at the heartstrings and in some panels, the artwork spoke for itself without the need for dialogue! Really powerful issue overall!

A ação continua ininterrupta aqui neste Batman: A Maldição do Cavaleiro Branco de número quatro. A arte de Sean Gordon Murphy é um primor. O leitor é levado a investigar um pouco mais sobre os passados de Barbara Gordon, de Coringa e sua relação com Azrael e, por fim, sabemos de algumas ações no presente da dupla dinâmica mais nova da praça: Batman e Arlequina e como Renèe Montoya está se virando no Departamento de Polícia de Gotham City com a ausência do Comissário James Gordon na luta contra o Coringa e Azrael.

“Batman: White Knight” was the most engaging Batman story of the past several years, both well written and superbly drawn. It contended with serious modern subjects, like race, gender and inequality. All the recent criticisms about the chauvinism and elitism of the caped crusader were brought to the frontline, although not taken to their ultimate consequences. It was Batman’s Watchmen moment. When I read about “Batman: The Curse of the White Batman”, I became both thrilled and worried. The risk of a slippery slope toward self-destruction was quite real. Since I could not wait for the graphic novel, I bought each issue separately. Sitting tight until the next one was particularly enervating. After several months, I finally got the full picture. The story is still well written and superbly drawn, but the slippery slope I was afraid of was taken with proud. In the end, there was not much left of the Nietszchean übermensch that Batman represented. His righteousness was replaced by self-doubt and lack of foresight. His causes proved to be misguided. Not even the name Wayne was spared. It was another Watchmen moment. However, this time I am not referring to the graphic novel, but instead to its HBO glum extension. As most stories, appreciating Batman required a high level of suspending disbelief. And enjoy the ride while it lasts! Sean Murphy said no to it all and, as consequence, it made me utterly sad.

I wanted to give this 5 stars but the whole "I'm mad at Batman because something bad happened to me while doing a job that I know is dangerous" seems a bit played out. I did love the flashback with Jim and Barbara though, that shit really hit my heart. I could just feel the emotion throughout, especially with the showdown at the end with Azrael and his crew. Sean Murphy continues to do his thing with this one.

It actually happened: James Gordon is dead.

An incredible issue that highlights the pain and loss of Barbara Gordon. For the first time ever, her vengeful side is out on display.

Murphy is blending elements of Knightfall, A Death in the Family, and even Killing Joke this time around. Could we be seeing the birth of Oracle?

Wow

This was just fantastic!! The best Batman story out there. Exciting, well written, beautiful art, everything about this comic is golden and leaves me screaming for the next issue.

[Travis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yea, this is really good! I love how each character is really getting involved. Between the main members of the Bat Family and the familiar members of the GCPD everyone is given opportunity to fight for Gotham. This is definitely going to be a combined team effort.

[Jamie (TheRebelliousReader) · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 stars. Barbara is on a rampage after her father was murdered and I’m liking where her character is headed. Another great issue and while I’m not loving this as much as the original series it is really good.

This issue was messy and short, so I knocked a star.

[Ripley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every issue gets better.

[Kevin Schnurr · Rating 4 out of 5]
