About this Collection

This volume collects the middle chapters of the epic 'Knightfall' saga, focusing on the aftermath of Bane breaking the Batman. As a new, more violent vigilante takes over the cowl, Gotham's rogues gallery—including the Joker, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy—test the limits of this darker replacement. The story sets the stage for the final confrontation over who truly rules the night in Batman's absence.

In "Who Rules the Night," Batman lies unconscious after Bane’s brutal defeat, and Robin grapples with the unsettling memory of Two-Face’s determined attempt to claim Gotham’s darkness now that Batman is down. Written by Doug Moench and brought to life with moody precision by Klaus Janson—handling art, inks, and colors—this issue deepens the shadows of Gotham’s fallen protector. Mike Deodato’s cover captures the tension with a stark, haunting image of Robin confronting the city’s chaos.
