  • Batman: White Knight follows the man now known as Jack Napier as he embarks on a quest to heal the city he once terrorized. After reconciling with his long-suffering partner, Harley Quinn, he sets in motion a carefully plotted campaign to discredit the one person whom he views as Gotham City's true enemy: Batman. His crusade exposes a decades-long history of corruption within the Gotham City Police Department and transforms Napier into a city councilman and civic hero. But when the sins of his past return to threaten everything that he has accomplished, the distinctions between savior and destroyer begin to break down for both The Joker and Batman alike--and with them any hope for Gotham's future.

    @Night221Shadow 5 років тому +27

    Hey, guys. Great episode as always. I’m really looking forward to the sequel to this too. The pink robe is actually a reference to the Berlin Batman story by Paul Pope. Also, if I remember correctly, I think it’s specifically mentioned early on that this Joker never actually killed anyone like BTAS Joker, but I don’t really remember. It’s why Batman says the “he wanted to be a lot worse.” to Harley.

  • @chrisossu2070
    @chrisossu2070 5 років тому +4

    Small thing, but it is implied that the Joker in this universe doesn't even have a body count, robbery and property damage being his worst crimes. The closest he came to killing someone was Jason, and as revealed later, he didn't. The Joker's still a criminal, but it fits better into the narrative that Batman was being excessive when you consider that this version was just a glorified public nuisance at best.

  • @Ultinuc

  • @runaways1915
    @runaways1915 5 років тому +20

    Love the episode
    and at the risk of being all “well actually” they never in the comic outright state that joker is a murder they even say that the only crime the GCPD has ever been able to convict him on is armed robbery which dose help with the believability of the public being on his side and letting him go free
    But again love the episode and you channel looking forward to more bat issues.

    What's great about this series (to me) is that it's almost like a modern day version of another Batman series called "Going Sane", though it was originally a way to show what Joker would do if he had successfully killed Batman (or just thinks he did). B)

    The book is literally telling you that you just have to ignore the fact that Jack Napier was and still is "The Joker" and everything makes sense. Jack Napier/Joker did a "Ted Bundy" and actually succeeded. Amazing Elseworlds Book but just don't think about it too much lol

    • @HermanPinedo
      @HermanPinedo 5 років тому

      They explain it better in the book, like Joker hasn’t killed anyone and all the crimes couldn’t really stick cause it was Batman bringing him in all the time, not the GCPD. But Sal needs to fit this into one video so he couldn’t go though all the little details, understandably. The book explains a lot of things that Sal left out. Whether or not its explained well is another thing, but it does give you explanations for most things which is better than a lot of comics do. Either way Sal did an amazing job on this and it’s a super awesome first Bat Issues!

    • @michaelsted1500

    Now, I hate to be this guy, and correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc, the reason Jack wasn't hit for all the supposed murders he must have committed was because he was criminally insane. It is presumably the reason he is in Arkham instead of Blackgate.
    It isn't that those murders are forgotten, but his sentence was to go to Arkham. He's already paid for those crimes.

    First off, this was a great first episode and idea for a new show. (I actually remember you mentioning it offhandedly a while back, and I'm glad you did it.)
    But, one thing this show illustrated to is that in a weird way, I think the couch is almost like a character unto itself on Back Issues. Because, for all intents and purposes, this was an episode of Back Issues, just not on the couch. And it felt pretty different - to me anyway. Not in a good or bad way, just different. And I think it's just because you guys weren't on the couch.

    @polyglotprogrammer 4 роки тому +2

    The joker doesn’t have the “power” to visually turn into the joker. I think him “turning” is more a visual cue to the reader of which part of him you are talking to (since he clearly has dissociative identity disorder). So it’s not necessarily a power he has, but just a really cool way to show/tell the reader who is essentially in control at that moment.

    A modern classic. It is a love letter to Batman's many incarnations and history. It made good use of elements Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin. I loved Curse of the White Knight as well, not a fan of Beyond the White Knight though. It felt like Bruce was out of character and did things he'd never do.

    I read it digitally and was gonna pick the hardback up at a store but decided not to. This makes me wanna go back and collect it.
    I feel this book discusses a lot of the things that I always think about, like brutality, like which is a better way to make the world better (using money to play hero or support good gov candidates and policies), like how does Gotham work realistically as a city in the US system.

    I'm not a huge Batman fan, (love the family more) but I do love this story, and I do love this set! Great job as always!

    Its hard for me to like any of this book when I think of how stupid it is that Joker's mental illness gets straight up "cured" from Batman force feeding him a bunch of pills at once
