Batman: White Knight stopped with a fist, i.e. Batman's methods. This led him to turn the Joker into a politician, using the character's intelligence and charisma to win the people of Gotham over. DC Comics had no problems with the ideas that Murphy had for the series such as changing the timeline in Batman's history. However, the adult content like nudity and profanity that Murphy had intended to include were not permitted. Murphy revealed that the Joker in "White Knight" has the real name Jack Napier, a callback to Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" film where the Joker played by Jack Nicholson also shares
Joker (character) Capullo. The story arc explores the symbiotic relationship between Joker and Batman, and sees the villain shatter the trust between Batman and his adopted family. Capullo's Joker design replaced his traditional outfit with a utilitarian, messy, and disheveled appearance to convey that the character was on a mission; his face (surgically removed in 2011's "Detective Comics" #1) was reattached with belts, wires, and hooks, and he was outfitted with mechanics overalls. The Joker's face was restored in Snyder's and Capullo's "" (2014), the concluding chapter to "Death of the Family". The Joker has undergone many revisions since his 1940 debut.
