The family dynamics and individual characters are hardly explored with the adults quickly falling into absent parent tropes and the children distilled into cliches of the rebellious teenager and dutiful younger child. It opens on Harley Quinn and Joker's children caught in an awkward family moment between their mother and stepdad-Batman. Such is the case with Batman: White Knight Presents – Generation Joker #1, which continues to expand the moderately popular miniseries Batman: White Knight into an alternate vision of DC Comics that underwhelms at every turn. Some comics are pure product, meaning they simply exist as more of a thing to be purchased without justifying their own existence.
