Summary

The bestselling Batman: White Knight and Batman: Curse of the White Knight series written and illustrated by Sean Murphy spin off on a new take written by international bestselling author (and Murphy's wife) Katana Collins, starring the one and only Harley Quinn。

Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn takes place two years after Batman: Curse of the White Knight。 Azrael has wiped out criminals in Gotham, Jack Napier (formerly The Joker) is dead, Bruce Wayne (Batman) is in prison, and Harley Quinn is adjusting to life as a single mother, raising the twins she had with Jack。

But as new villains arise, Harley is forced to dance with madness once again and confront her own past with The Joker and Batman while helping the Gotham City police and an eager young FBI agent uncover the truth behind a series of gruesome murders。

This collection also features a chapter from Harley Quinn's newest digital first series, Harley Quinn Black + White + Red, told in a traditional black-and-white format with the color red uniquely shaping Harley Quinn's story。

Collection includes Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #1-6 and Harley Quinn Black + White + Red #4

The White Knight universe has delivered some incredibly memorable Batman storylines and Harley Quinn is no exception。 Following in continuity from Azrael's rampage through Gotham, this newest installment sees Murphy handing off the writing reins to Katana Collins。 From there, we get a new vision of Harley after Joker。 Mother, hero, doctor--Harley has been many people and is still left trying to fit the pieces of her old life together into the start of a new one。 When a new villain steps onto the The White Knight universe has delivered some incredibly memorable Batman storylines and Harley Quinn is no exception。 Following in continuity from Azrael's rampage through Gotham, this newest installment sees Murphy handing off the writing reins to Katana Collins。 From there, we get a new vision of Harley after Joker。 Mother, hero, doctor--Harley has been many people and is still left trying to fit the pieces of her old life together into the start of a new one。 When a new villain steps onto the stage to fill the power vacuum in Gotham's underworld, Harley is one of the few equipped to stand in the way。 Interweaving her backstory with this tale of an older, increasingly complex Harley Quinn, Collins, Murphy, and Scalera deliver a story that succeeds on so many levels--plot, character, theme, and art。 The Batman Murphyverse is still going strong with its unique take on familiar characters and with this volume, the ongoing evolution of Harley Quinn does not disappoint。 。。。more

Entertaining read that is a nice start to a new series。 Nice pacing and a nice throw back to not just old movies but to comics in general。

A fine follow up in the White-Knight/Murphyverse。 Mostly great art (Scalera's pencils are amazingly in tune with the sketchy style Murphy used in the earlier entries, maybe they are really similar I don't know his other work), with a good enough story。 A fine follow up in the White-Knight/Murphyverse。 Mostly great art (Scalera's pencils are amazingly in tune with the sketchy style Murphy used in the earlier entries, maybe they are really similar I don't know his other work), with a good enough story。 。。。more

I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd like this。So, color me surprised when I opened this up and got sucked into the story。 This picks up a year or so after the events of Batman: Curse of the White Knight and follows Harley as she tries to navigate her new life。She's a single mother of twins, a consultant for GCPD, and maybe Gotham's newest vigilante。There is a movie-themed serial killer out there who is targeting old silent film stars, and Harley is asked to consult on the case。 Turns out, she may I'll be honest, I didn't think I'd like this。So, color me surprised when I opened this up and got sucked into the story。 This picks up a year or so after the events of Batman: Curse of the White Knight and follows Harley as she tries to navigate her new life。She's a single mother of twins, a consultant for GCPD, and maybe Gotham's newest vigilante。There is a movie-themed serial killer out there who is targeting old silent film stars, and Harley is asked to consult on the case。 Turns out, she may have a fan。 At the same time, she's still visiting Bruce in jail and it seems to me that these two may end up together at some point。 Now that would be a different take on Batman and Harley Quinn's relationship。The flashbacks to her life with Jack/Joker were really interesting。 It's not that she made good decisions, but you can see how she ended up sticking with him for so long。I really have zero complaints and thought this was an excellent addition to the White Knight universe's storylines。 。。。more

The Batman: White Knight universe is very interesting。 I think it's ripe for an animated movie or miniseries。 The art in here is glorious。 Filled with small and large easter eggs from other Batman media。 Very enjoyable reading experience The Batman: White Knight universe is very interesting。 I think it's ripe for an animated movie or miniseries。 The art in here is glorious。 Filled with small and large easter eggs from other Batman media。 Very enjoyable reading experience 。。。more

The best thing about this story line is that it gives Harley Quinn some real agency and depth to her character。 It shows her on a redeeming arc from her villainous past and is setting her up to be an antihero。 It is these types of plotlines that I find interesting and I hope DC continues in this vein。

I'm so invested in the White Knight universe it's not even funny。 My love remains strong here。 I guess I'm struggling to see a path forward for this world I'm interested in, though- this felt like a good stopping place, but I know DC, and I know comics, and I just don't think that will happen(view spoiler)[Batman shoulda stayed in prison。 I don't want him back。 (hide spoiler)] I'm so invested in the White Knight universe it's not even funny。 My love remains strong here。 I guess I'm struggling to see a path forward for this world I'm interested in, though- this felt like a good stopping place, but I know DC, and I know comics, and I just don't think that will happen(view spoiler)[Batman shoulda stayed in prison。 I don't want him back。 (hide spoiler)] 。。。more

I hope the Batman Murphyverse (and apparently Katana Collins-verse) is around for another 10 years。

Not as good as the original, but better than the Azrael story。

Harley Quinn has to solve a mystery and thwart a new villain who has arrived in Gotham in the years after most of the Rogues Gallery kind of went kaput or faded away in Curse of the White Knight。 The story and new villain are interesting, though the main mystery in the story isn't really solved so much as things happen as needed for the plot to advance without much effort on the part of the characters who are supposed to be doing the investigating。 I complained about this in the other White Knig Harley Quinn has to solve a mystery and thwart a new villain who has arrived in Gotham in the years after most of the Rogues Gallery kind of went kaput or faded away in Curse of the White Knight。 The story and new villain are interesting, though the main mystery in the story isn't really solved so much as things happen as needed for the plot to advance without much effort on the part of the characters who are supposed to be doing the investigating。 I complained about this in the other White Knight books (and a ton of Batman books have a similar issue), so at least it's consistent here。Also, it's a Harley Quinn book, which means is incredibly preoccupied with the Joker。 Given how much junk Harley went through in the last few volumes dealing with her relationship with the Joker it would have been nice for Harley to have a chance to shine on her own and there's a little bit of that here。 I get that it's going to be a core part of her character, but that doesn't mean every story involving her needs to involve her relationship with the Joker as a main story feature。The art was really good! Great action and Scalera's style (Which I enjoyed in Black Science) is already similar to Murphy's so it keeps the characters recognizable and consistent。 Overall, criticisms aside, it was a decent read and I'm curious to see where this slice of the DC multiverse is going。 。。。more

It's been two years since the second installment of the "Batman: White Knight" series and a lot has changed in Gotham since Azrael ushered in a new era of peace, Bruce Wayne has been locked up for outing himself as the Batman, and Harley Quinn has killed the Joker。 This installment of the series may as well be called "Batman: White Knight Book 2。5" since it's really a side story - a personal one about Harleen Quinzel reconciling all of the different parts of herself (the struggling mother, the f It's been two years since the second installment of the "Batman: White Knight" series and a lot has changed in Gotham since Azrael ushered in a new era of peace, Bruce Wayne has been locked up for outing himself as the Batman, and Harley Quinn has killed the Joker。 This installment of the series may as well be called "Batman: White Knight Book 2。5" since it's really a side story - a personal one about Harleen Quinzel reconciling all of the different parts of herself (the struggling mother, the former criminal, the psychiatrist, and the wannabe hero) into one coherent whole against the backdrop of the GTO recruiting her to help them crack the case of a serial killer going around Gotham City murdering former, black-and-white movie stars。DC has done a lot with the character of Harley Quinn over the years。 She was introduced as the Joker's henchwoman, in an abusive, one-sided "romantic" relationship with the Clown Prince of Crime, before going on to being a single member of the Suicide Squad struggling with her former feelings for the Joker and her current feelings for Deadshot, to finally (and most popularly) being a member of the Gotham City Sirens and going from being Poison Ivy's bestie to romantic love interest。 However, I believe that what the storytellers behind the ongoing "White Knight" saga have been doing with the character is the most fascinating - turning her into a still competent (if disbarred) psychiatrist and former criminal; making her a single mom struggling with raising children who believes her greatest failure was being unable to reform the Joker, while struggling with what Batman and members of the GTO and GCPD keep telling her - that she can be a hero and do good。 I like Harley on her own, being her own woman, and that's certainly what she is in this story。 To me, it's the best depiction of the character。What the writers of this comic series also managed to do, to great effect, is create and introduce two brand new Batman villains - The Producer and the Starlet - who earn their place amongst the Dark Knight's greatest and most iconic rogues (and whom I hope appear again in the future)。 Not only that, but I loved the way they weaved the fan-favorite Simon Trent - a。k。a。 The Gray Ghost - into this story in a small, yet integral role, and really made you become attached to and feel for Harley's two hyenas - Lou and Bud, who up until this point have been little more than an extension of her armory。 I won't get into spoilers here, because the less you know going into this chapter of the "White Knight" saga the better, but it leaves both Harley and the other citizens of Gotham who play ancillary roles in this tale - including Bruce Wayne himself - in fascinating places at the end of the story, leaving me itching for the confirmed third installment of the story we know is on the way (which allegedly will be a riff on "Batman Beyond" and take place sometime in the future after Bruce Wayne serves his ten-year jail sentence)。 All I can say is, I hope Harley dons her new "noir costume" going forward, because it's truly badass and represents a new beginning and direction for the once downtrodden Dr。 Quinzel。 The "White Knight" books released so far keep yielding high returns on the monetary and time investments readers sink into them and for that, I'm grateful。 Taken together, it's the greatest standalone Batman/Gotham story told in comics in years; "Harley Quinn" lives up to its predecessors, and I hope the imminent third installment can live up to them as well。 I have no doubt, this series will go down amongst comic fans as essential reading when it comes to the Caped Crusader and his lore as classics like "Year One", "The Long Halloween", "The Killing Joke", and "The Dark Knight Returns"。 Yes, it is *that* good。 As such, like the two previous installments in the series, I'm giving "Batman: White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn" a perfect five-out-of-five stars。 (And yes, for the record, I started the book today - June 30th - and finished it the same day, the story and its art were both that compelling。) 。。。more

Hopefully we keep getting more of these White Knight stories and spinoffs - I'm here for them :) 。。。more

This was incredible! Just as good as the others in the white knight universe, perhaps even better! More backstory into Harley and Joker’s relationship in this universe as well as a great character story about Harley trying to figure out where she belongs since the ending of curse of the white knight。 Truly a great Harley story!

The Black Label/White Knight imprint continues to be firing on all cylinders。 Katana collins's Harley Quinn miniseries, picking up after "Curse of the White Knight," is probably my favorite version of Harley ever。 The plotting feels like a more mature continuation of the classic BTAS franchise, and they continue to find interesting ways to mine elements of "Jack Napier" before "Joker。" This isn't just a spinoff, it's White Knight episode 3。 The Black Label/White Knight imprint continues to be firing on all cylinders。 Katana collins's Harley Quinn miniseries, picking up after "Curse of the White Knight," is probably my favorite version of Harley ever。 The plotting feels like a more mature continuation of the classic BTAS franchise, and they continue to find interesting ways to mine elements of "Jack Napier" before "Joker。" This isn't just a spinoff, it's White Knight episode 3。 。。。more

Really great series, that continues the excellent writing of this White Knight series of books! So this volume takes place some time after Curse of the White Knight, with relative peace in Gotham。 Harley is recruited by the GTO, to look into a series of murders as a criminal profiler。 While this series is technically a spin off and filler book before Sean Murphy's eventual third White Knight series comes out, this book would probably be required reading as a lot happens!
