Here's the thing about Knightfall, because of his huge stature both physically and mentally, and the way he subverts expectations as a villain, most people see the entirety of the story arch as being about Batman vs Bain. But it's not. Knightfall part 1 is a good story in it's own right, sure, and as shocking in comic history as the death of Superman was, but the story here is only the set up for the actual story being told. This whole arch is about Bruce Wayne vs Batman. How bad does he still
Classic DC arc from the 90's, where superheroes are shown to be fallible. It's not fun to watch Batman like this, run-down and ill and throwing batarangs all wrong. But it does make for a great story, of course. This first volume is 'broken bat' and yeah, he pretty much gets broken. It doesn't really compute - because he's BATMAN - which is why it works so well. You kind-of can't believe what you're reading. Typical of the character, Bruce Wayne keeps going when he should be resting. Something
This is one of THE classic Batman stories, if only because it is a story people like to re-tell in various forms of media. I've seen versions of Bane go up against versions of Batman in cartoons, books, videogames, movies, etc. With the menacing, hulking form of Bane and a story about a Batman who might not have an easy, assured victory, how could people resist? As far as classic "must-read" Batman stories go, however, this would rank pretty low on my list. The art is good, except for the
Not a full review here, just a few thoughts. Rated 2 stars which feels a little low but this was a bit of a slog to get through. Was not on board with JP as he is introduced here. It is such a HUGE leap to believe how quickly Bruce Wayne backs this guy to the point that he does... like "shark" sized leap.Really, the main problem in this book for me is Bruce's "burn out". The concept is fine but it could have been handled so much better than simply having Batman's inner monologue state how
I was pretty much gnawing my fingernails off out of fear for Bruce. Hes perpetually the man of strength and indestructible resilience and stamina, so its frightening to see him crushed by another man. A shitty villain like Bane. Oh sure, he deduced Batmans true identity under a year or so, but that doesnt make him a worthy villain to me. At least Ras al Ghul and perhaps even Hush (the villains who know that Bruce is Batman) has more charisma and showmanship than the steroid-glutting brute. Bane
Good, but not as good as I remember from the 1990s. Chuck Dixon really was trying to return Batman to form, but this run still can't decide if it is hardboiled or campy. Coming off some of the 1970s and 1980s, more adult Batman stories by Alan Moore and Frank Miller, the Dark Knight did seem a bit lost. This introduces Bane and also gives us the more gritty Azazel-turned-Batman, but much of the rogues gallery seems cheesy and under-developed. Dixon's Bane, however, is a great addition to the
