ISBN 9. 78- 1. 40. Knightfall" is the title given to a major Batmanstory arc published by DC Comics that dominated Batman- related serial comic books in the spring and summer of 1. Knightfall" is also an umbrella title for the trilogy of storylines that ran from 1. Knightfall", "Knightquest", and "Knights. End".[note 1] The story takes place over approximately six months. Bruce Wayne (Batman) suffers burnout and is systematically assaulted and crippled by a "super steroid"- enhanced genius named Bane.

Wayne is replaced as Batman by an apprentice named Jean- Paul Valley (a. Azrael), who becomes increasingly violent and unstable, tarnishing Batman's reputation. Eventually, Wayne is healed through paranormal means, and reclaims his role as Batman."Knightfall" resulted in long- term ramifications for the Batman continuity, as Batman's trust from the police, the public, and fellow superheroes had to be rebuilt, due to Azrael's violence. Additionally, Wayne realizes the peril and burden of attempting to work in solitude, leading to the eventual creation of the modern incarnation of the Batman family. The events of Knightfall also led to the resignation of Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. The entire "Knightfall" storyline took over a year to complete in the comic book serials, and in later years, the comics were reprinted several times, though never in full, as the Knightquest: The Search arc has never been collected. Publication[edit]The initial idea for the character of Azrael stemmed from a two- part story idea pitched by Detective Comics writer Peter Milligan circa 1.

After line editor Dennis O'Neil decided to expand it into a larger epic, he and the Batman line writers Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and Alan Grant convened an authors' summit over a long weekend to flesh out the details and story points. At the same time, the Superman team was planning for a similar character- altering storyline, and neither they nor the Batman group initially had any knowledge of each other's plans.[2] Dennis O'Neil denies the Knightfall storyline was in any way inspired by the Death of Superman and states that it was already in development by as much as three years, saying that if the Batman staff had known, the storyline would likely have been pushed down a year.[3]The serial stories of the monthly Batman comics titles began slowly building toward the "Knightfall" arc several months prior, in conjunction with the publication of the Sword of Azrael miniseries and Vengeance of Bane one- shot which also laid foundation for the larger story."Knightfall" ran from April to October 1. Batman issues 4. 92 through 5. Detective Comics issues 6. The massive story was quickly collected into two volumes of trade paperbacks.

Volume one was subtitled Broken Bat and the second Who Rules the Night. Knightfall was the first time that multiple Batman titles had shared a single narrative for an extended period since Crisis on Infinite Earths."Knightfall" was immediately followed by "Knightquest" in the monthly serials. Knightquest" is divided into two storylines, one following Bruce Wayne ("Knightquest: The Search") and the other on the new Batman ("Knightquest: The Crusade"). The stories were not treated as crossovers and the Batman titles continued as they had before "Knightfall" where the creative teams each pursued its own storyline. Instead of a crossover, "Knightquest" was more of an umbrella title that also encompassed some issues of Batman: Shadow of the Bat.

To avoid giving away their plans, the publishers treated it as though it were the new status quo, so issues were not numbered as chapters.) Additionally, The Crusade served as a launching point for the first ongoing monthly series featuring Robin in solo adventures. Although previous parts of the "Knight. Saga" had taken considerable time to run their course, the entirety of "Knights. End" was published within two months, as the Batman books had to prepare themselves for DC's impending company- wide crossover Zero Hour, which would immediately follow the "Knight. Saga". Nothing was truncated as the Batman editorial line made use of all of the Batman- related titles at their disposal, such as Catwoman, Robin and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (normally an anthology title with stories set in the past).

Knights. End" was later collected in trade paperback as Knightfall Volume 3. The serial nature of the Batman titles continued beyond the end of Knights.

End, with the Prodigal storyline, and into subsequent unbannered stories. This continued in later arcs such as "Contagion", "Legacy", "Cataclysm", "No Man's Land", and "War Games", and has on occasion continued into the present. The intent of the writers was to counter the then- popular style of violent heroes in comics, and demonstrate that the traditional Batman made for a better hero.[2] The issues featuring Jean- Paul Valley as Batman on the cover depict him with highly exaggerated musculature and legs which taper into disproportionally tiny feet, mimicking the styles of contemporary "violent hero" artists such as Rob Liefeld.

Storyline[edit]Prelude[edit]The prelude to "Knightfall" began with the introduction of two new characters key to its storyline in issues prior to the release of "Knightfall": Azrael, a. Jean- Paul Valley (introduced in Batman: Sword of Azrael #1- 4 (October 1. January 1. 99. 3) by Dennis O'Neil and Joe Quesada), a graduate student at Gotham University who discovers he has been unconsciously trained since birth as an assassin for an ancient religious order. Bane, introduced in Batman: Vengeance of Bane (January 1.

Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, an orphan born and raised in a Central American island prison, self- taught and ruthless, who underwent an involuntary experimental operation to become a new type of supersoldier, before breaking free and deciding to take Gotham City from its "king," Batman. The two characters were quickly added to the cast in the monthly Batman titles, with Azrael being a superhero- in- training who fights alongside Batman, while Bane was introduced as a supervillain. Within the regular series, the buildup to "Knightfall" begins with a six- issue run in Batman #4. September 1. 99. 2 - February 1. Batman (at the onset of a personal psychological mid- life crisis) is forced to deal, in rapid succession, with the returning villain Black Mask and his gang (who target Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox), a crazed killer called Metalhead, and a sharpshooter assassin hired by an imprisoned mobster to murder Commissioner Gordon. Batman begins to feel he has lost his edge, especially after his failure to capture Black Mask.

He finds himself unable to meditate or even focus. As Bruce Wayne, he contacts holistic therapist Shondra Kinsolving for treatment. He also assigns Robin (Tim Drake) to train Jean- Paul Valley in detective work to aid them as an ally, hoping to guide Valley's brainwashing away from making him a villainous threat. Despite the advice of everyone in his life, including Dr.
