Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed DC Black Label series Batman: White Knight. Issue #1 sets the stage for a new conflict involving the Joker, Azrael, and a dark secret from the Wayne family's past that threatens to destroy Batman and Gotham itself.
The story continues after the events of White Knight, where a now-insane Joker has escaped from Arkham Asylum, stealing a mysterious book from his cell. He recruits Azrael—a shell-shocked veteran with ties to the ancient religious Order of St. Dumas—for a new plot against Batman. The plot focuses on a dark ancestral rivalry between the Azrael bloodline and the Wayne family, which dates back to the founding of Gotham in the 17th century.
With the Joker's manipulation, Azrael sets his crusade in motion, leaving Batman to investigate this conspiracy while still reeling from the events of the previous series. Bruce Wayne, still mourning the death of Alfred, begins to question everything he thought he knew about his family's legacy.
