Although my time has been short in the world of comics， this book has been exceptional。 I highly recommend this to any Batman fan who has not yet read it， tons of action and a great story。 It is easily Batman’s greatest threat yet， it all builds to one culminating end。 I am eager to read volume two。

A classic， and for good reason。 Movies and comics （including the Tom King run that just concluded not too long ago） have tried to recapture the magic in this storyline， but none have come close。 It was a perfect storm at DC because you have to keep in mind everything that was happening at the time: First， Superman died and then Batman was crippled。 They even talked about these stories on the news （which is how I heard about them， because pre-teen me was only reading Ninja Turtles and Savage Swor A classic， and for good reason。 Movies and comics （including the Tom King run that just concluded not too long ago） have tried to recapture the magic in this storyline， but none have come close。 It was a perfect storm at DC because you have to keep in mind everything that was happening at the time: First， Superman died and then Batman was crippled。 They even talked about these stories on the news （which is how I heard about them， because pre-teen me was only reading Ninja Turtles and Savage Sword of Conan around that time）。 Reading this story now， it's also confusing why some writers have chosen to make Bane a big dumb brute。 Here， he is a perfect mix of mastermind and bruiser。So， for anyone wanting the most important Batman stories of all time， this is high on the list。 。。。more

A story that pushes Batman to his breaking point （literally）。 I enjoyed reading this volume， though it did feel very much like a villain of the week type stories， but they are all connected and build to a shocking finale。

Knightfall is an endurance match that pushes Batman to his absolute mental， physical， and psychological limits， ending with one of the best fights in the comics。

Príbeh pokračuje， Bane vypustil pacientov z Arkhamu a my spolu s ním sledujeme Batmanov maratón akcie s Mad Hatterom， Riddlerom， Zsaszom， Fireflyom a samozrejme， Jokerom。 Chvíľu po prečítaní už ale netuším， kto skončil kde a ako a som zmätený podobne ako vyhorený Batman。 Vyvrcholenie je však super a právom má kultový status。 Rovnako ako bolo smiešne šikanovanie starostu Jokerom a Scarecrowom， ktorí ho nútia volať armáde a hasičom alebo Riddlerovi goonovia， ktorí ho chcú zastreliť， lebo ich nebav Príbeh pokračuje， Bane vypustil pacientov z Arkhamu a my spolu s ním sledujeme Batmanov maratón akcie s Mad Hatterom， Riddlerom， Zsaszom， Fireflyom a samozrejme， Jokerom。 Chvíľu po prečítaní už ale netuším， kto skončil kde a ako a som zmätený podobne ako vyhorený Batman。 Vyvrcholenie je však super a právom má kultový status。 Rovnako ako bolo smiešne šikanovanie starostu Jokerom a Scarecrowom， ktorí ho nútia volať armáde a hasičom alebo Riddlerovi goonovia， ktorí ho chcú zastreliť， lebo ich nebaví čakať s lúpežou na jeho hádanky。 。。。more

Creo que no fue tan bueno como el preludio pero aun así me entretuvo。 Batman Knighfall Volumen 1 continua con la historia de como Bane llega a Ciudad Gótica para derrocar a Batman como su protector， claro que para Bane solo matarlo no sería una victoria satisfactoria pues a lo largo del volumen anterior Bane buscaba quebrarlo tanto a nivel físico como mental a lo largo de una serie de pruebas mientras que Bane media su valía y a la vez lo estudiaba。 En este recopilatorio en específico lidiaremos Creo que no fue tan bueno como el preludio pero aun así me entretuvo。 Batman Knighfall Volumen 1 continua con la historia de como Bane llega a Ciudad Gótica para derrocar a Batman como su protector， claro que para Bane solo matarlo no sería una victoria satisfactoria pues a lo largo del volumen anterior Bane buscaba quebrarlo tanto a nivel físico como mental a lo largo de una serie de pruebas mientras que Bane media su valía y a la vez lo estudiaba。 En este recopilatorio en específico lidiaremos con las consecuencias de la última prueba impuesta por el villano que ha liberado a todos los prisioneros del asilo de Arkham para culminar con el enfrentamiento final entre el caballero de la noche y Bane。Tengo que admitir que aunque en general la historia no tiene tantas altas y bajas y hay un frenesí continuo de batallas con un montón de los villanos más icónicos de Batman， a veces sentía que la cosa se alargaba demasiado， tambien creo que me faltó algo impactante como el origen de Bane del volumen anterior o tratar de descubrir el porque Batman esta tan enfermo en esta historia y claro， Azrael que fue uno de los personajes más interesantes del preludio ahora queda relegado a solo salir en unos cuantos paneles。Para terminar， si lo que quieres ver es a la extensa galería de villanos de Batman creando caos y destrucción pues sirvete， esta historia es para ti aunque creo que el relleno y los villanos de poca monta que ocupan cómics enteros le quitan algo de peso al conflicto principal， aclaro que la antología me gustó pero no esta ni cerca de ser uno de mis cómics favoritos de Batman。。。 。。。more

Batman faces a gauntlet of foes unleashed from Arkham Asylum。 Pushed beyond all limits he finally faces Bane。 Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon do a good job weaving the narrative between "Batman" and "Detective Comics" and the art is by some of the best Batman artists ever， Jim Aparo， Norm Breyfogle， and Graham Nolan。This was an epic mind shattering story that I'd only vaguely heard about as a child during its original release。 It's fun to finally delve into。 Batman faces a gauntlet of foes unleashed from Arkham Asylum。 Pushed beyond all limits he finally faces Bane。 Doug Moench and Chuck Dixon do a good job weaving the narrative between "Batman" and "Detective Comics" and the art is by some of the best Batman artists ever， Jim Aparo， Norm Breyfogle， and Graham Nolan。This was an epic mind shattering story that I'd only vaguely heard about as a child during its original release。 It's fun to finally delve into。 。。。more

That ending。 That lead up to an iconic moment。 Chills， watching the broken bat become physically broken， damn， worth the hype。

In Knightfall Batman must face almost all of his past adversaries as Bane unleashes them upon Gotham。 The story escalates until a shocking finale… unless you’ve watched The Dark Knight Rises， then you’d probably know what to expect！

In my opinion this is the ultimate Batman story。 Hence it merits a reread。

Cuenta con una cantidad bastante amplia de comics， pero todos son bien aprovechados para llegar a la atmósfera y conclusión deseada。Si la gente se tomara el tiempo de leer esta clase de eventos， el comic se tomaría como un medio mucho más serio para compartir historias。 Es MUY bueno。 Se toma su tiempo para explicar las cosas， pero al llegar a la conclusión todo hace perfecto sentido。 Es la clase de historias que un verdadero fan del personaje no se puede perder。

Best long-running arc yet， uses the rogues gallery well and shows Batman at his absolute lowest。 Impressive overall， despite some detours， but the one thing that doesn't make sense is Bane's motivation: he basically has a nightmare about a bat， then hears about Batman and is like "oh well obviously I have to kill him now，" lol Best long-running arc yet， uses the rogues gallery well and shows Batman at his absolute lowest。 Impressive overall， despite some detours， but the one thing that doesn't make sense is Bane's motivation: he basically has a nightmare about a bat， then hears about Batman and is like "oh well obviously I have to kill him now，" lol 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Disfruté muchísimo más que el preludio， aún sabiendo exactamente cuál sería el final （es un cómic de más de 30 años🤷🏻♂️） me encantó la manera en que llegan a él。 El arte es muy superior， particularmente las porciones de Aparo y Moech， con secuencias de acción impecables y muy divertidas。 Sí， es un Batman atípico， quejumbroso， petulante y es particularmente desagradable con Alfred y Tim Drake。。。 pero creo que es el set up para explicar cómo Bane logra "quebrarlo"。 Me gustó tanto que ya estoy bus Disfruté muchísimo más que el preludio， aún sabiendo exactamente cuál sería el final （es un cómic de más de 30 años🤷🏻♂️） me encantó la manera en que llegan a él。 El arte es muy superior， particularmente las porciones de Aparo y Moech， con secuencias de acción impecables y muy divertidas。 Sí， es un Batman atípico， quejumbroso， petulante y es particularmente desagradable con Alfred y Tim Drake。。。 pero creo que es el set up para explicar cómo Bane logra "quebrarlo"。 Me gustó tanto que ya estoy buscando las secuelas， o al menos el siguiente volumen que se publicó aquí en México。 Entiendo que hay varios volúmenes posteriores， dependiendo cómo resulte de interesante el siguiente， quizá adquiera el resto en inglés。 。。。more

Of the comics I've read， this may be my favorite in that I feel it deals with the struggle Batman faces without being over the top about it。 Of the comics I've read， this may be my favorite in that I feel it deals with the struggle Batman faces without being over the top about it。 。。。more

Iconic but not perfect。Great idea but 90’s execution isn’t always at its best。I still love the idea of having a big story shift in mind and executing it。 This whole storyline has been very influential and it seems that many writers have thrown away Bruce as Batman only to have him come back。 And this is probably still the best one in my opinion。 But I still need to reread Morrison’s run so that could change。

This Volume takes off where we left with the Prelude but this book didn't come with too many surprises as it still continues down the same road， the cover literally says it all。 The plot was flowing better than the previous book and now had the more famous villians stacked against batman。 All the more i was confused when one of the lesser known villians stole the show in a burning manner， I am not sure if thats because the A-listers where done to death or because the writer wasn't really interes This Volume takes off where we left with the Prelude but this book didn't come with too many surprises as it still continues down the same road， the cover literally says it all。 The plot was flowing better than the previous book and now had the more famous villians stacked against batman。 All the more i was confused when one of the lesser known villians stole the show in a burning manner， I am not sure if thats because the A-listers where done to death or because the writer wasn't really interested in them。 The art was on point for the time it was published at， you still see panels from this very book posted around the web！ What I liked most was that I actually felt sad at the end of the Book， which usually isn't a mood I find myself in when reading batman books。 4。5 of 5 。。。more

It's probably one of the big events that was missing in my to-read-Batlist， so it was interesting to discover it。 Dixon's writing usually work nicely with me and it was the case this time again。 There were many Bat-villains in the volume， giving a good overwhelming touch that helped to understand Batman's state。 He wasn't at all healthy and strong， which was very unusual。 It made him more human and even added some emotion near the end。 I didn't like at all how he pushed away Tim-Robin， but the J It's probably one of the big events that was missing in my to-read-Batlist， so it was interesting to discover it。 Dixon's writing usually work nicely with me and it was the case this time again。 There were many Bat-villains in the volume， giving a good overwhelming touch that helped to understand Batman's state。 He wasn't at all healthy and strong， which was very unusual。 It made him more human and even added some emotion near the end。 I didn't like at all how he pushed away Tim-Robin， but the Jason stuff seemed not far in the timeline， so I understood what was the problem。 The art style was the usual for this time area and worked nicely with the story。 。。。more

Again， overall great， and the climax was exhilarating， but the slog there was a but rough。 Bane's plan makes sense， it just seemed to take a long time to actually GET there。 Looking forward to more！ Again， overall great， and the climax was exhilarating， but the slog there was a but rough。 Bane's plan makes sense， it just seemed to take a long time to actually GET there。 Looking forward to more！ 。。。more
