Gotham City Spends a Preposterous Amount of Money Cleaning up Batman’s Messes

Sean Murphy’s Batman: White Knight is a slow burn of a comic that favors scene setting and world building over huge narrative payoffs from issue to issue.

But their violent beef is not nearly as fascinating as the future that awaits…
