Batman Knightfall TP New Ed Vol 02 Knightquest: Knightfall Vol. 2: Knightquest

As a long-time Batman fan, I was excited to continue the Knightfall storyline with Batman: Knightfall Vol. 2: Knightquest, and it did not disappoint. This volume follows the aftermath of Bane breaking Bruce Wayne, with Jean-Paul Valley (Azrael) taking over the mantle of Batman—and let’s just say, his version of Gotham’s protector is far more brutal and unhinged. The story explores Jean-Paul’s struggle with his own identity, his increasing aggression, and his alienation from Batman’s allies. Unlike Bruce, he believes in using extreme force, leading to a fascinating dynamic with characters like Robin and Commissioner Gordon. Watching Gotham react to this darker, more violent Batman is both intriguing and unsettling. The artwork is classic ‘90s Batman—dark, detailed, and full of action-packed panels. The writing does a great job of showing the psychological and emotional toll of Bruce’s absence while building up the tension of whether Jean-Paul is truly fit to be the Dark Knight. Pros: A gripping continuation of the Knightfall saga Fascinating take on a more violent and unstable Batman Great character conflicts, especially between Jean-Paul and the Bat-family Dark, gritty artwork that fits the tone perfectly Cons: Slower pacing in some sections compared to Vol. 1 Bruce Wayne is mostly absent, which may not appeal to all fans Overall, this is an essential read for Batman fans, especially those interested in one of the most unique and controversial moments in the Dark Knight’s history. If you enjoyed Knightfall Vol. 1, this is a must-read before moving on to KnightsEnd!

This book made me feel my age! It's been nearly 20 years since I bought the Knightfall and Knightsend collected editions and tried to fill in the blanks inbetween by scouring comic shops for the Knightquest back-issues. Just seeing this book makes you appreciate why the collection may have originally been left unpublished - it's a weighty tome the size of Knightquest and Knightsend combined, not to mention the fact that the jumping between paralell stories from each of the monthly Batman/ Catwoman/ Robin titles can make for a less streamlined story, as threads from the different comics start to intertwine. Also, we're still waiting for KnightQuest: The search (the Bruce Wayne arc) in collected format - as it stands, this arc is left hanging inbetween Knightfall and the very end of this edition, although the fact that KnightQuest : the Crusade is here makes me optimistic that it won't be long until it's sister edition is released. That said, The Crusade is still a vital read for anyone who has already bought the other volumes. Especially as it fills out Jean-Paul's character for probably the first time (continuity wise) since "The Sword of Azrael" - making the reader that much more sympathetic towards him - the Tally Man arc is especially good, as is The Immigrant.

Great continuation of the Knightfall story arc but it can get a bit disappointing seeing Azreal taking on nobody criminals, but this is all necessary as part of the development, highlight for me was his encounters with the Crown Prince of Crime, the artwork is Great looks good on my Kindle HD, and as with volume 1 you get great value for a bargain price, highly recommended now on to volume 3

Jean Paul Valley has given up the Azrael identity and is now living as the Batman. His reign is vicious and threatens not only the villains of Gotham, but endangers its citizens too. Robin is now person's non grata and Bruce Wayne is recovering from his broken back abroad. With growing horror, Commissioner Gordon begins to suspect that the man behind the mask is no longer the man he knew and trusted. This is a great volume that looks at the importance of superheroes as symbols of hope. Valley destroys the hope invested in the Batman and suddenly, the character seems far more sinister. The artwork is superb and the layout and pacing is excellent. Dixon and his team have made some interesting choices by changing the 'Batman' storyline so thoroughly. I know that in the wider DC Continuity, Superman is out of action, but I expected Wonder Woman or another member of the Justice League to appear in this volume to warn Valley about his behaviour.

This is a great batman story, it takes off where vol 1 left us. I had bought vol one Knightfall years ago, and I just got round to getting the second vol. I wish I had gotten into it sooner!! This time it is Jean Paul Valley who is under the cowl. He is a far more brutal batman, and doesn't quite stand for the same things Bruce Wayne does. It's great to see the conflict between Jean Paul and the 'program' that was forced in him by the order of Saint Duma! My only problem with this book is it doesn't collect the companion series 'Knightquest: The Search' (this collects Knightquest: The Crusade). The Search follows Bruce Wayne and Alfred looking for Tim Drakes father, and while searching Bruce's back is healed. Apart from that, this is a great story worth reading, I prefer it to vol 1!! Here's hoping vol 3 is brilliant!!

A must have

I've only read part one of knightfall so far but I skimmed through this one and I love that it's on the glossy paper instead of the traditional comic book paper. It looks way better

The Batman Knightfall story arc is my favourite Batman story of all times in so many ways. I bought the Knightfall trilogy books 10 years ago or more, but always felt it missed a lot... I was frustrated on not having all the pieces that could tell/explain how things came to be and why (?). How Bruce Wayne became ill? How did he became this beat-up and weaked before the ill-fated Arkham break-out? How Bruce Wayne got to know about Jean-Paul Valley aka Azrael?. How did the Riddler get the Venom toxin before the breakout? Why was not all pieces there to tell about Azrael-Batman's Knightquest time? So when they many years re-published the Knightfall saga and I realized I had only read about the "basic" trilogy...I felt I MUST HAVE THE WHOLE STORY COLLECTED LIKE THIS! I love Omnibus books and they look so niecly in my book-shelfs and all the stories I grew up with in comic books I so enjoy having them re-printed and collected instead of a ton of loose magazines and puzzle iy up - (For those who are knew to the Knightfall saga or any other great story arc from DC or Marvel, there was a NO easy way to get all stories in the 90's due to that they spread out the storries in amny variants of comics, 10 variants of Batman, 10 varients of Spider-Man etc-etc it was insane) So yeah, this was money well worth spent and I'm glad I now have them. Now I can look for other great Omnibus books that collects stories from the 80's-90's and early 00's I missed out on from Marvel & DC.

Esse livro é top só é ruim pq é inglês mais tá valendo fiz openlingles kkkk é isso kkk k

Batman ha caído y Bane sigue suelto... pero alguien recoge el manto del Caballero Oscuro para darle caza. Este segundo volumen recopila un montón de números de una etapa épica y clásica del Murciélago a muy buen precio. Sin embargo, la calidad del papel es muuuuy mejorable, pues es similar al de los periódicos: fino, frágil y "poroso".
