I think you have great talent with Batman, but it’s upsetting that White Knight in non-canon. Can you make canon Batman stories in the future that are just as good as it? I think you should be influencing the DCU as a whole in addition to non-cannon material.

Hey!

I’m not really sure I’m looking to write in canon. I mean, I can do mostly what I want in my own universe, so why would I want to complicate things by having my work line up with other titles?

Hi Sean,

Really liked this series. A question about Harley. Did you always mean for her to be a big part of the book?
Thank you for an awesome book keep up the amazing work.

Hey!

Yes, Harley was always a top priority i the series. I knew I wanted her to be the “White Knight” in the end. The person who orchestrated most of the plot.

Hello mr. murphy, white knight is one of my favorite batman stories of all time. here are my questions

1. did you always plan to have a sequel for white knight?
2. do you like biscuits?

Hello! Yes and yes. Thanks for the easy question!

[SuperBlueGrodd]

I am here to serve!

[willjdickson]

You are definitely right about that Sean now that I think about that. The mainstream can’t handle your awesome ideas.

[SeanGordonMurphy1980]

Thank you! I redesigned the Year One custom for her, which was tough because I wasn’t into the blue and gray. My preferred suit is this one in WHite Knight.

White Knight is to date prob my favorite start to finish storyline in Batman non-canon history. You are a brilliant mind and thank you for giving us such a great piece of literary art. You are like a Batman mad scientist, mixing and matching all walks of Batdom and in the most impressive, most fun ways!

My questions are:

1. What is the singular piece of Batman history that inspired you most when writing White Knight?

2. Besides to blow our minds, what made you decide to write that Jason Todd gave up Batman’s identity during Death in the Family? (Had this panel printed out on an 11x17 and framed in my bat collection ever since the day the issue released! This was so impactful)

Hello! And thank you!

1. The TAS stuff was my bible.
2. I needed a reason for Joker to have captured him. And, surprisingly, I didn’t see anyone use the “who is Batman REALLY” angle, which surprised me! Finally a new idea that hadn’t been used already.

Haha thanks! I mean, I’d be honored to write the mainline. But then I couldn’t kill all those characters without getting permission. It’s just much easier on me to go it alone.

Hi Sean hope you’re doing well in these times. My only question is, when could we expect a sequel to curse of the white knight?? Love your run!!

I’m hoping to start early next year. I have a crowdfunding book I’ll launch soon, and OGN. So stay tuned!

[TheBexOne]

Is there any character that you could do a out of canon story with that you’d love to do?

[BatmanMazz]

Thanks for the response! Great work so far and can’t wait to see where things go!!

[wrh47.92095]

If there is time and is allowed, one goofy question… Was the “real Harley” part of issue #1 a dig at the suicide squad Harley?

[wrh47.92095]

Thanks again for putting this on. Sean is amazing!

[Applejack]

No kidding! Hopefully we can get him back in here to discuss his next project in the future. Stay tuned

[wrh47.92095]

That would be EPIC!!! Can’t wait…

[NYJt3]

Awesome thanks for answering.

Yeah it think he looks better with more red. And nothings wrong with an extra pouch for stuff.

[toonatonian]
