Knightfall (Comic Book)	comment	Around the time of The Death of Superman, DC started publishing Knightfall, a Bat Family Crossover featured in Detective Comics, Batman, and other related DC titles in the early 1990s. Longtime Batman writer and editor Denny O'Neil planned out a storyline wherein Bruce would face each of his major foes one last time before being crippled and replaced with a Darker and Edgier Batman-For-The-Nineties, before eventually being healed and taking back the cowl. The prelude to the storyline took place from September 1992 to February 1993; this part focused on introducing several new players in Gotham City and showing the mental state of Bruce Wayne. The main storyline took place from April 1993 to August 1994, and follow-up storylines lasted from August 1994 to February 1995.The storyline truly begins with the introduction of Jean-Paul Valley, a blond haired Ãœbermensch (code-named Azrael) trained to serve as a killing machine by the Sacred Order of Saint Dumas. Batman and Robin tried, with some success, to undo the brainwashing he suffered at the hands of the Order (called "The System"). Jean-Paul stayed on the sidelines during the prelude, but popped in now and again to remind readers he existed.DC then introduced readers to Bane.note Technically, he'd been introduced in a one shot Batman: Vengeance of Bane, but nobody outside of DC imagined it would be the start of one of Batman's biggest foes. Born and raised in a prison, the super-intelligent Bane underwent experiments to turn him into a nearly-unstoppable Super-Soldier. Those experiments worked, but they also made Bane dependent on a drug known as Venom to achieve his full physical potential. After escaping from his "home", Bane makes it his goal to rule Gotham City; to achieve his goal, he must dethrone Gotham's "king" — The Batman.Shortly after The Death of Superman, Batman loses his edge when he becomes unable to meditate and unwilling to rest. Bane watches from a distance as Batman begins to break down and undermine himself, then ups the ante by interfering a bit more directly (he sends both Killer Croc and a Venom-enhanced Riddler after the hero). His biggest move comes when he busts open Arkham Asylum and gives the escaping inmates enough weapons and supplies to terrorize all of Gotham. An ill and sleep-deprived Batman forces himself to find and take down almost every last escapee.Batman manages to take down most of his major foes in quick order before they can cause too much damage (some of the more obscure ones don't get captured, and Two-Face doesn't even make an appearance in the first arc, publication-speaking-wise), but doing so takes a huge toll. After The Joker and Scarecrow push him to his limits, Batman returns home to finally rest his weary body. When he arrives, he finds Alfred lying on the floor — and Bane standing over him. Thanks to Batman's exhausted physical state, Bane wipes the floor with Bruce in a mostly-one-sided fight that ends when Batman is lifted into the air by Bane, who then uses his knee and a healthy dose of downward momentum to break Batman's spine.Bruce lives through the attack, but he can no longer assume the role of Batman. He tells Jean-Paul to assume the role of The Batman — Gotham still needs its protector, after all — but also tells him to avoid a direct confrontation with Bane. Az-Bats does a serviceable job as Batman (even though he tries to keep Robin sidelined), but exposure to Scarecrow's fear toxin causes "The System" to kick in and "protect" Jean-Paul. He begins to lose control of his violent inhibitions, which makes him more brutal in his confrontations with criminals. He also re-designs the Batsuit, first by adding clawed mechanical gloves armed with mini-batarangs. He later bemoans his inability to fly and lack of protection against projectiles after a fight with Bane, which further re-designs help fix.Commissioner Gordon becomes suspicious of Az-Bats (who he doesn't know has replaced the real Batman) when he fails to, well, pull a Batman on him after they talk. His suspicions increase when the newly-armored Batman fights Bane once again, seemingly with the intent to kill him. Gordon stands ready to order his men to fire upon the "fake" Batman, but when Az-Bats spares Bane's life, Gordon spares his.Between Az-Bats losing his grip and the general Fan Backlash against Az-Bats, a healed Bruce Wayne eventually takes back the cape and cowl — forcibly, of course, and mostly by outsmarting his mentally unstable protege.For a long time, rumours competed over whether DC/O'Neil had planned the whole thing from the start as a way of sticking it to readers clamouring for a Darker and Edgier Batman, or had seriously intended to replace Bruce Wayne as Batman.*Comic Book Legends Revealed even debunked the rumour that it was a ploy to stop paying Bob Kane royalties — incidentally, even if it had been, that wouldn't work, as long as they published a book called "Batman", regardless of the character's identity Since then, many of the series' writers have been upfront about the fact that Az-Bats' rise and subsequent fall had indeed been planned from the start, at least in part as a Take That, Audience! towards the "Batman should be like The Punisher!" Misaimed Fandom. In retrospect, it's rather obvious, particularly when they introduced Shondra Kinsolving and her healing powers fully months before the start of the crossover.The story received a Spiritual Successor in Tom King's Batman (Tom King) titled "I am Bane".See also Batman Doom, a Doom Game Mod loosely based on the Knightfall plot arc, and The Dark Knight Rises, which lifts many plot elements from this storyline.Not to be confused with the 2017 historical drama of the same name.

While classic-Bats was running himself ragged, the Riddler took a talk show host and her audience hostage on live TV. The host of the show, Cassie Josie Rudolpho, was basically a blonde Sally Jessy Raphael. Some psychobabbler shills his "I'm ok, you're ok" book based off of the Arkham escape on Harry Mann (Larry King) and Link Rambeau (Rush Limbaugh).

How crazy are they? One of them doesn't hesitate to kill another student when commanded to, and yet another one (the only one who demonstrates awareness that he is being controlled, but cannot help it) is told to jump off a roof, which he does (Anarky saves him, though). Jean-Paul Valley fits under this as well, especially towards the end of the arc — the System, which he was effectively brainwashed with, begins taking him over, with the conflict between it and Batman's "no killing" rule driving him insane. Mad Hatter and Poison Ivy also both utilize these as henchmen at points in the arc.

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: For some reason, the ears on Batman's costume in the covers for this arc, but not in the actual comics, are about two feet long. It's a staple of Kelley Jones' (the cover artist) drawings of Batman. Once Jones also starts doing interior art in the mid-to-late 90s, Batman gets two-foot long ears in the comics themselves as well. In-Universe: Jean-Paul notes the cape of the traditional Batsuit just kills momentum, a flaw that almost killed him and inspired him to alter the cape. It's later commented that all the armor Jean-Paul added to his version of the costume, while useful, makes him slow and unable to maneuver in tight spaces (the latter of which Bruce uses against him in their final clash, forcing him to shed most of his armor to get through a tight passage into the room where the fight ends).

He is amused and confounded by the dichotomy. Bruce remembers a Korean martial arts master who refused to teach him his most secret techniques because he wouldn't vow to foreswear violence. Lady Shiva is annoyed and amused that Bruce won't kill after he's beaten her. Bruce tells her, essentially, "Thank you, and tough shit." In the Novelization, Jim Gordon mentally notes that he only tolerates Batman because he doesn't kill. The second he crosses the line, he will end Batman.

While one might think it was why Denny O'Neil did his best to keep the Search part of Knightquest out of print, it remains in the Novelization (which O'Neil himself wrote, so it's probable he felt more comfortable with her in prose.)

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_38d02d44	comment	Batman Gambit: An infamous villainous example. Bane takes advantage of Batman's Chronic Hero Syndrome while knowing that he's sick to bust out the most violent criminals in Arkham, and just wait for Batman to tire himself out while he observes him from afar. By the time Batman returns to Wayne Manor he is exhausted, Bane has discovered his Secret Identity and is waiting inside the manor for him. The fight is basically over before it even begins. Batman also assumes that one or more of Arkham's escapees are key to Bane's plans, which is part of the reason why Batman's focus is on the other villains instead of Bane himself. Batman spends his time fruitlessly trying to find an ulterior motive to Bane's attack on Arkham.

Later, Bane confronts Bruce in the Batcave unmasked. When Bruce puts on the cowl, Bane demands, "Stop hiding" — Bruce replies, "I'm not hiding — I'm becoming."

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_50b05d30	comment	Disproportionate Retribution: Look, no one's denying that Bane had a nightmarish childhood: growing up in prison, seeing his mother get raped (to death!), getting knocked into a coma for an entire month, doing solitary in a pit full of seawater and rats, being forced to fight other inmates night after night, and finally being unwillingly injected with "Venom" in an unbelievably cruel For Science! experiment that the doctors are almost certain will kill him. But are we to believe that he'd truly want to go to all the trouble of breaking out of prison, traveling to a foreign city he's barely even heard of, and concocting an elaborate scheme to physically and psychologically break down a man he's never met all because that man wears a costume that makes him look like a creature that terrified Bane in nightmares when he was a boy? And just so he could beat the biggest, baddest dude in Gotham, because he could never beat the bat in his dreams.It's rather astonishing that there was never a retcon that had otherworldly forces of some kind be behind Bane's dreams and what they led to: it almost comes off as the universe purposely making a man to destroy Batman otherwise. In fact, Bane's entire life has been shaped by this as well. His entire childhood was spent in prison because of a crime his father committed before Bane was even alive.

Killer Croc picks a fight with Bane while nursing two broken arms (!) and actually manages to hold his own for a while. The Riddler straps a (fake) bomb to his waist and takes an entire TV talk show hostage all by his lonesome — just so he can have a platform to broadcast his riddles to Gotham City's viewers. Bane has men with guns kidnap Catwoman and Leopold and haul them before him, whereupon he threateningly asks Catwoman if she will be willing to work for him. "Never!" she tells him. "But I will work with you." One of the students Zsasz has taken hostage dispatches of Zsasz by herself (albeit with peripheral help from Bats.) Alfred says she'll be given all the credit. Bruce replies she deserves all of the credit, since it was his fuck-up that put them in that position in the first place.

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Both Batmen do a good job of rounding up the Arkham escapees, but three (Killer Croc, Ventriloquist, and Joker) are still at large by the time the story ends properly, with no resolution to their status. However, the Ventriloquist and Croc loose ends are tied up in the follow-up "Prodigal" storyline. Likewise, the Batman/Spider-Man crossover sees Joker recaptured. Also a lot of stuff is unanswered for the poor souls who have only the original three trades to read on the matter. Another example would be that Bruce had seven students to fight but only six appear in the third volume. Bird, Trogg, and Zombie are all played up to be co-Dragons to Bane, and that Bane is actually loyal and fond of them. They never appear again after Knightfall. In fact, they don't reappear until nearly 25 years later, in Bane: Conquest, a reboot and soft reboot later! Subverted in the junior novelization, in which Jean-Paul — having previously taken down Bane — hunts them down during the KnightsEnd storyline and defeats them. Dennis O'Neil's novelization concludes with Bruce not deciding whether he will continue being Batman.

By the time of the climax, the spirits are actually in agreement with one another. Considering they're the products of a literal System of brainwashing/hypnosis that's gradually breaking down after being exposed to Scarecrow's fear gas, inconsistency is almost to be expected.

Abattoir is hanging to a chain, over a tank full of deadly acid, and Batman is in the employees corridor near it. What to fire? Deadly shots, to make him fall, or a rope to save him? The ghost of San Dumas commands him to save Abattoir: Batman leads of crusade of light, even if using darkness as a weapon. The ghost of Azrael says otherwise: if Abattoir is saved, he will kill again, and that blood will be on Valley's hands. Torn between "save him" and "kill him" orders, he takes the third option: he leaves, letting Abattoir fall to his death. Unfortunately for Valley, this proves to be the wrong choice, as Abattoir's death dooms his final victim and convinces Bruce that Jean-Paul is the wrong choice to be Batman, resulting in his decision to take back the cowl.

In Knightfall and Beyond, Etchinson is on the scene during Jean-Paul's fight with Abattoir; Abattoir threatens to kill him if Jean-Paul doesn't back off, and when Jean-Paul continues advancing, Abattoir carries out his threat and fatally shoots Etchinson. Likewise, in the comics, Abattoir simply falls to his death because Jean-Paul refused to save him. Knightfall and Beyond has Jean-Paul purposely kick Abattoir over the edge to his death.

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_ca95473c	comment	Series Continuity Error: In Batman #496, Scarecrow openly grumbles that his fear gas won't work on Joker. He apparently forgets this little fact a mere three issues later, in Detective Comics #664, where he sprays Joker with his fear gas. Surprise, surprise — Joker reacts by asking him if he has different flavors, and beats the crap out of Scarecrow with a chair. (And mind you, both these issues were part of the same story, so not even the taken-for-granted loose continuity of different comic book story arcs can justify this. And also, it could be Scarecrow was convinced his new mixture would work, since his work on perfecting the gas hasn't stopped). Detective Comics #661: Riddler is seen in his suit-and-bowler hat outfit, in his hideout, and planning a caper. Detective Comics #662: He's shown in his jumpsuit, and it's a given that it's supposed to be the same scene. Considering that Riddler's arm was in a cast during his scene, there's very little reason for him to suddenly change outfits. Another one, involving a lot of the issues already mentioned—Detective Comics #662, Batman #496, Detective Comics #663, Batman #497, and Detective Comics #664 all take place in that order and most, if not all, of them are on the same freaking night to boot. Batman's clean-shaven in the former two and Batman #496 ends on a cliffhanger. Detective Comics #663 picks up where it left off, but suddenly, Bats has stubble. It would be Depending on the Artist if then-Detective Comics artist, Graham Nolan, has done it alone. The problem is then-Batman artist, Jim Aparo, partook in it, too.

Anarky gives Az-Bats one of these speeches for choosing to focus on capturing Scarecrow instead of stopping the kid that Scarecrow's brainwashed from jumping off a roof. Az-Bats tosses it right back at him by reminding him that it's his fault that Scarecrow got that kind of leverage in the first place. Dick Grayson gives Bruce one of these for not appointing him the new Batman. Both Dick and Tim give this to Bruce when he uses a lethal move to defeat the last disciple in his training. It is later averted though, since he only pretended to kill him for Shiva to see, but actually measured his strength to merely knock him out. Between this and Prodigal, where Dick briefly acted as Batman, Commissioner Gordon was unwillingly to trust Batman for a while for not telling him the truth about Jean-Paul and Dick.

Despite the use of "Knightfall" to talk about the whole saga, the title was only used to describe Bane's reign of terror, his attack on Bruce Wayne, and Jean-Paul Valley taking up the identity of Batman. Then you've got "Knightquest," which was two story arcs under the same umbrella name. One was "The Crusade", which details Jean-Paul's tenure as Batman and descent into madness, though outside of these elements, most of the stories published were standalone stories. The other was "The Search", which follows Bruce Wayne's search for Jack Drake and Shondra Kinsolving and his recovery from his injuries. There's "KnightsEnd", where the first half deals with Bruce Wayne's retraining and getting back into shape, and the second half deals with Bruce re-donning the Batsuit and — with Nightwing, Robin and, briefly, Catwoman — confronting Jean-Paul and taking back the identity. Following that is Prodigal, about Dick's tenure as Batman while Bruce finished resting up and reevaluating stuff. Lastly, there's Troika, where Bruce comes back as Batman permanently.

Part of the reason Batman works himself to exhaustion to capture all of the Arkham escapees is because he assumes some or all are in on Bane's plans. While this would be true of most of Batman's villains, Bats never suspects Bane's just using them all as red herrings just to wear Batman down. Had Bruce prioritized neutralizing Bane early instead of undermining an assumed plan, it's less likely Batman would have lost in that confrontation.

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_f818b637	type	Dude, Where's My Respect?
Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_f818b637	comment	Dude, Where's My Respect?: One of the most entertaining ways the novelization differs from the actual comics — in the novel, Bane breaks Batman around three in the morning, so he can't find any audiences aside from a few bums. As a result, Gotham's underworld continues to ignore him until he starts resorting to even more drastic measures.

Knightfall (Comic Book) / int_fa63f56c	comment	Hoist Hero over Head: Bane does this a lot, but never more strikingly than in this storyline, when he hoists Batman over his head and slams him down on his knee, breaking Batman's back. He also does this a second time, throwing Batman's broken body onto a Gotham street for people to see. The latter time is currently the trope picture.

In the novel, he tells Bruce that he'd kill a baby to stop it from crying and, in the finale, casually murders both a electronic sign worker and a subway train conductor because they're in his way.
