More Details On Sean Murphy's Batman: White Knight, Joker/Harley Relationship, Renee Montoya; Plus Early Colors

Yesterday, DC revealed the title and details on Sean Murphy's long-teased Batman: White Knight. In the interview announcing the book, Murphy focused on The Joker's relationship with Batman, saying that the pair will switch roles as The Joker, cured of his insanity, campaigns to stop Batman from perpetuating a cycle of violence:
