For those unfamiliar with DC’s Black Label, it’s a collection known for showcasing some of the finest narratives and illustrations within the DC Universe, including works from the Vertigo label such as “100 Bullets,” “Scalped,” and “V for Vendetta.” What makes these stories compelling is their ability to stand alone without requiring extensive background knowledge of the vast DC lore.

In the end, “Batman: White Knight” reminds us that in the world of comic books—and perhaps in real life—the truth is rarely black and white.
