Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Broken Bat is the first of two volumes collecting Knightfall, the much-talked about Batman storyline--much talked about because it was the story in which Batman gets defeated. The huge, muscle-bound villain Bane has but one goal in mind, to break Batman. The end of this volume is somewhat shocking compared to standard, mainstream comic book continuity.

Product Description:
This riveting book sets Batman on a path that will change his life forever. A mass escape from Arkham Asylum and the emergence of Batman's most threatening foe, Bane, sends Gotham City spinning into chaos and takes Batman to the limits of human endurance! These volume is required reading for every Batman fan. Graphic novel format.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - batman
i bought this for my nephew and he absolutely loved it.the books were brand new



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Some of the individual stories are weak, and the art is fairly crude
I have a love-hate response to this first volume of the Knightfall saga. The overall story is superb. You can't help but feel sorry for Bruce Wayne as he becomes weaker with every villain he puts away. And Bane is the exact sort of villain that a Batman book needs: smart AND muscle-bound.

My first complaint is that so many of the individual stories are utterly forgettable. Apart from his run-ins with Zsazz, Scarecrow, Joker, and (of course) Bane, I honestly can't remember the specific ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classics Comic Book
This was one of the classics. Got the book in mint condition so i was happy.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Bat is Broken
Knightfall is one of the most ambitious Batman stories ever attempted. This book collects the first and arguably the best part of this story - the breaking of the Batman by Bane (the symbolism of the name is pretty obvious). The story begins with Bane engineering the breakout of all the insane criminals that are housed in Arkham Asylum. All of Batman's nemeses - The Joker, Scarecrow, Killer Croc and others - are let loose on the streets of Gotham all at once. This is Bane's clever and twisted strategy ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - By Far the Best Part of the Series
Like most triologies, the biggest character twists and best action sequences occur in Part II of Knightsend. The transition of John Paul Valley into the mantle of the Bat goes through a logical and compelling progression. Batman #500, the final volume in this book, was on of the first Batman comics I read when I was a child. I still have it, and it is still one of the best single-issue "Batman" comics I've ever read.

As a bonus, if you don't hate Joel Shumacher's "Batman & Robin" enough already, ... Read More
