Here, thanks to some excellent writing, it's almost impossible not to feel a deep sense of sadness as you witness Batman's gradual physical and moral decline at the hands of an enemy who relentlessly and remorselessly tests him to destruction.
Comic books are often too readily dismissed as "just for children", but Knightfall proves otherwise. There is some superb writing on display here, in ter...more

Knightfall is the epic storyline that shook the world back in 1993. Fresh from killing off Superman, DC also removed Bruce Wayne as Batman and placed the cowl in the hands of a more violent replacement. Broken Bat is the first part of an ambitious storyline which lasted for over 12 months and shook Wayne's World to its core. Drug-enhanced Bane has come to Gotham City, intent on pushing the Batman to his limits before destroying him and taking control of all criminal activities in Gotham. To start his plan, he launches an attack on Arkham Asylum, releasing all of Batman's deadliest foes. An already debilitated Batman must track down and stop all these ... Read the complete review

Instead fans are treated to a veritable who's who of Batman villains as Bane releases the entire population of Gotham's notorious Arkham Asylum in one night leaving the city in ...

Batman Knightfall (Part One: Broken Bat) is the first of a trilogy of graphic novels that collect together the most salient part of a storyline that dominated the weekly Batman comics for several months from late 1992. It was written by Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon but of course has a battery of artists as this draws together Batman #491-497 and Detective Comics #659-663. This is one of the more daring and famous of the weekly Batman storylines and sort of like his version of the Death of Superman arc in a way. The story begins with a heavily armed raid on Arkham Asylum - the creepy psychiatric facility in Gotham City where all the most notorious and terrifying villains .. Read the complete review
