☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues the epic Knightfall saga, collecting the aftermath of Bane's defeat of Batman. It follows Jean-Paul Valley, the new Batman, as he struggles to control the mantle while facing threats like the Joker and a rogue's gallery of escaped Arkham inmates. The collection includes issues from the 'Knightquest' storyline, focusing on the chaos that erupts in Gotham under Valley's brutal vigilante rule.
In "Who Rules the Night," Doug Moench and Klaus Janson deliver a gripping chapter of Batman: Knightfall, where past and present collide. In a flashback, Two-Face puts Batman on trial, only for Robin to intervene, while in the present, a battered Batman stirs after a brutal beating at the hands of Bane. Kelley Jones' haunting cover captures the moment’s intensity, perfectly framing the dark, personal stakes of this pivotal issue.
In "Double Cross," as Batman lies broken in the hospital, Robin recalls Two-Face's desperate bid to finally end the Dark Knight—after every Arkham inmate had failed. The memory unfolds with tense precision, weaving past betrayals and shifting loyalties into a shadowed game where trust is the first casualty.
In the past, Two-Face puts Batman on trial, forcing Robin to step in and save him. In the present, Batman stirs from a brutal beating at the hands of Bane, still reeling from the fight.
