Sean Murphy to Oversee White Knight Imprint With Nightwing, Batgirl & More
Batman: White Knight creator Sean Gordon Murphy has confirmed his "Murphyverse" will soon be officially expanding into its very own DC imprint, hot on the heels of the successful Batman: Curse of the White Knight.
While an exact timeline couldn't be provided, the writer/artist revealed on Twitter that mini-stories will be detailed for the likes of Harley Quinn, Batgirl and Nightwing, and while he'll be outlining the general direction of these adventures in Gotham, DC will be announcing separate creative teams for the books. Additionally, he confirmed the minis will be set in between each volume of his popular White Knight series, which is currently published under DC's Black Label banner.
So BIG NEWS actually--DC wants a mini imprint of White Knight. I'll write the bones for new minis, and they'll set up the writer/artist team. It'll be done between new volumes of Batman White Knight. It'll be the Murphyverse. Stay tuned for books on Harley, Nightwing and Batgirl. https://t.co/Lxm9z8nDOz

Murphy even hinted the Joker twins could be a potential storyline for this imprint to dive into after a fan asked about the babies online. It shows the audience wants more from his alternate reality, which so far has seen Harley turn into a hero, a redeemed Jack Napier help end the threat of Joker and Azrael exposing Bruce Wayne and breaking his symbol as the Caped Crusader as the war on Gotham continues.
Batman: Curse of the White Knight #8, by Sean Gordon Murphy, goes on sale March 25 from DC.
