Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn
Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #1
The Joker is dead, Bruce Wayne is behind bars...and Gotham City is just starting to redefine itself without Batman.
As Harley Quinn struggles to adjust to her new life as the mother of Jack Napier's twins, an elusive mastermind called the Producer seizes the moment to assemble a crew of villains-starting with the Starlet, a serial killer who murders Gotham's golden age film stars in homage to their silver screen roles.
When a recent, gruesome crime scene suggests a connection to The Joker, the GTO, and FBI agent Hector Quimby turn to Harley as the one person with information that could crack the case. With some help from Bruce, Harley agrees to investigate-but to protect her children and her city from a fatal final act, Harley must flirt with madness and confront her own past.

When she was younger and stole her mother’s Harlequins to read beneath the covers with a flashlight, she wanted to read about the tough as nails heroine. The perfectly imperfect girl with quirks and attitude and sass. And the anti-heroes who were anything but “Prince Charming.” Forget the knight on a white horse … she wanted the bad boy on a motorcycle.
An avid animal lover, she lives in Portland, Maine with her kind of mean cat, derpy lab-pitt mix, mellow chihuahua, and very not mellow cairn terrier puppy. Oh, yeah… there’s a husband somewhere in that mix, too.
She can usually be found in a coffee shop with her nose buried in a laptop wearing fabulous (albeit sometimes impractical) shoes.

Really good first issue! Wasn't sure if this would be any good, but this was a really solid read!

Einzelne Hefte bewerte ich nicht oft, aber da ich zuvor gerade Sejics HARLEEN gelesen habe, möchte uch festhalten, dass dieses Heft innovativer als der komplette erste Band von Sejic ist.
Joker ist tot, Batman sitzt hinter Gittern und Harley ist zweifache Mutter und hat sich zur Ruhe gesetzt. Keine Superhelden und =bösewichte mehr, die Gotham verwüsten.
Doch dann begeht ein Serienmörder Verbrechen und ahmt die Morde des Jokers nach.
Harley lässt sich überreden, die Polizei als Profilerin zu unterstützen, doch als sich der Täter als Joker=Copycat erweist, wird es persönlich und Harley Quinn is back.
Ein starker Auftakt!

I have been counting down the days for the release of White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn, and it was absolutely worth the wait! If you enjoyed the take on Harley over the course of the last two White Knight arcs, I think that you'll like where this story starts off. Cannot wait to see more of it.

(this review is for the entire "Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn" 6 issues series)
You'll immediately notice that Sean Murphy's art is just on the covers.
After that (seemingly) initial shock/disappointment you'll discover a thrilling plot and equally remarkable art.
This is a great sequel to the "Curse of the White Knight" and you won't regret grabbing this one.
It has humour, a bit of sarcasm and three or four particularly touching moments that will truly surprise you.
The main story is not out of this world, but it's well woven and brings some new intriguing characters, besides the GTO team you know by now.
All in all, I really enjoyed this series, and recommend it.

I have loved the art in the white knight series so far and Harley Quinn continues to be great in that regard. The story itself is pretty simple, Bruce Wayne is in jail and the FBI and local pd want Harley to help on a recent series of murders. I like Harley as a character and believe her incite on this type of case could make for an interesting series. The dialogue was a little cheesy for me occasionally but not bad overall. The only thing I didn't like was the backstory between Harley and Jack Napier. 3.5/5

A break from Murphy's Batman story; Collins takes time to breathe more life into this version of Gotham. Harley is given welcome depth as she struggles to cope with the events of Murphy's first two books while teetering the line between retired villain and police-approved vigilante. While the antagonist leaves something to be desired, the book showcases why Harley has become such a versatile character for DC Comics. Scalera's art, while consistent enough with Murphy's overall aesthetic, remains its own; helping to further give the book a personality apart from the main installments.

I love the "White Knight" universe. The plot is good, and the artwork matches the story well. It looks like this series is going to pick up a thread that started in the original "White Knight" miniseries, but this is definitely considered the third part of an overall story being told (so that the previous two miniseries are required reading before experiencing this).

5 stars. Harley is the mother of twins. The Joker is dead and Batman is behind bars. With the Joker dead there has been a copycat serial killer who is imitating Joker so Harley is on the case! I loved this. Harley as a mom to human children is wild to see. Kinda bizarre but this series just really works for me. On to issue two!

Definitely intrigued but also slightly (actually, quite) lost, as I haven’t read any of the White Knight series. Seems like an interesting AU, so I’m glad I randomly picked this up at the comic book store.
Very different artwork after the main Harley Quinn series, which is refreshing.

Harley the Detective
I do enjoy the "White Knight" world of Batman. Such a great twist on the usual Bats and Joker tales. Now, with Bruce behind bars and Jack "dead", Harley picks up the mantle of detective to hunt down the latest Gotham serial killer.

No esperaba gran cosa, tal vez una historia de transición o "relleno" pero esta Harley me encanta. Cómo me gusta el mundo que ha creado Murphy en torno a la figura del Caballero Blanco, Napier, y cómo sigue presente en el ambiente.

Good art. Nice story.
This looks like a promising start to the next chapter of the Murphy-verse. I’m always a sucker for Murphy’s art.

Not sold on the Harley x Bruce romance, but I loved everything else. Cannot wait for the next issue.

Solid start, love this Harley!

The White Knight timeline has a great feel to it. It creates characters that live out relatively normal experiences despite their hero or villain personas. The art is always excellent.

Absolutely incredibly read. Katana Collins writes Harley Quinn like she knows her.
The artwork by Matteo Scalera is spellbinding.
