So I have a hard time imagining any young children who would be interested in this mini-series when so much of the content is rooted in a version of Batman that isn’t really catering to them. This is slightly confusing to me because the main Batman: White Knight stories actually tackled some heavy subjects in nuanced and complicated ways that are completely different from this issue’s tell don’t show style of writing. The dialogue, subject and the perspectives of the main characters all scream to me that this story is meant to be relatable to children in the age range of Joker’s children. Right off the bat it’s clear to me that this mini-series is intended for a younger audience. We already learnt about the children in the run of Batman Beyond as they took on two different aspects of the Joker’s personality but now we get to see them interact with their father, possibly for the last time… This latest story from the vaults of Batman: White Knight allows us to go on a child friendly escapade between the Joker and his two children.
