Summary

Christopher Nolan relaunched the cinematic Batman in epic fashion, having Christian Bale don the cowl of the caped crusader and retelling the Dark Knight's origins in Batman Begins. Then the Batman reeled against the craziness of the Joker in The Dark Knight. Finally, wrapping up his trilogy, Nolan introduced movie audiences to a more vicious and intelligent Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, hopefully erasing forever the blemish that was Bane in the Schumacher version with Poison Ivy and Mister Freeze (Batman and Robin, 1997). The Knightfall series that chronicled the downfall of the Batman at the mechanisms of Bane was epic in proportion at the time of its release throughout the summer of 1993 in Batman, Detective Comics, Showcase '93, and to lesser extent, Legends of the Dark Knight. For those who thought the Batman was an invincible mere mortal were shocked at the brutality and finality of the series. A must-have for Batman fans.

From Wikipedia

"Knightfall" is the title given to a major Batman story arc published by DC Comics that dominated Batman-related serial comic books in the spring and summer of 1993. "Knightfall" is also an umbrella title for the trilogy of storylines that ran from 1993 to 1994, consisting of "Knightfall", "Knightquest", and "KnightsEnd".[note 1] Collectively, they are unofficially known as the KnightSaga.

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, 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 mythos, as Batman's trust from the police, the public, and fellow superheroes had to be rebuilt. 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.

COMICS INCLUDED IN THIS LOT

NOTE: All comics were read once then bagged and boarded for storage. In my opinion, most issues should be considered Very Fine / Near Mint (9.2+) or Near Mint (9.6+) if graded.
