☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second omnibus in DC's Knightfall series collects the 'Knightquest' storyline, following the aftermath of Bane breaking Batman's back. It focuses on Jean-Paul Valley as the new, more violent Batman, while a wheelchair-bound Bruce Wayne travels to Europe to confront a personal threat. The volume includes issues from the Batman, Detective Comics, and related titles of the early 1990s, chronicling Valley's increasingly unstable tenure as the Dark Knight.
In "Wild, Wild East [Knightquest: The Crusade]," Bruce Wayne takes on the guise of Sir Hemingford Gray in a high-stakes mission to rescue Shondra from her formidable brother, a foe whose deadly power lies in thought alone. Written by Dennis O'Neil and brought to life with striking art by Ron Wagner and Ron McCain, this chapter of Knightquest blends mythic tone with relentless tension. Kelley Jones' haunting cover captures the story's dark, operatic spirit.
In "Outcast," Robin finds himself at odds with the increasingly volatile Jean-Paul Valley, leading to a painful rift between them. Meanwhile, Cluemaster and his Blackgate cohorts scheme behind bars, while the high-stakes Speedboyz target elite events. When Deputy Sheriff Shotgun Smith mistakes Robin for one of the thieves, the situation spirals into a tense confrontation that tests his resolve and puts him in the crosshairs of both criminals and law enforcement.
In "Quarry Part One," Bruce Wayne takes on the guise of Sir Hemingford Gray in a daring mission to rescue Shondra from her brother, a foe whose deadly power lies in his ability to kill with a thought from afar. With Shondra's life hanging in the balance, Bruce must navigate a dangerous game of wits and stealth, where every move could be her last.
In "Quarry Part Three," Bruce Wayne finds unexpected relief as Shondra uses her healing gifts to mend his injured back, but the process pulls her into a haunting memory of her childhood. As the past resurfaces, a dangerous truth emerges when her brother uncovers Bruce’s secret identity—leaving his fate uncertain.
In "Turning Point," Bruce Wayne faces a painful choice: step back from the mantle of Batman or return to face a version of the role he never imagined. When Tim informs him that Jean-Paul has become something monstrous in the role, Bruce begins a grueling physical and mental reconditioning to reclaim the fight. Meanwhile, Tim’s father, Jack, comes home with promises to be present, forcing Tim to reckon with how that might change his life as Robin.
