Great Story!

This is one of my favourite Batman G/N The Batman has returned. Stronger then ever! A must!

Calling all Bat-fans, the Batman is back!!!

I was a huge fan of the Batman comics up until Bane entered the picture and broke his back. Jean-Paul.....whats-his-face took over the role and I thought that the comics were trash. For years, I did not buy any new Batman comics. Later, a friend talked me into reading this book. It is a collection of the comics featuring Bruce Wayne's path to reclaim the Batman role. The new Batman has changed the entire city and has become obsessed with his power. This book features a lot of Robin and Nightwing (the original Robin) who adds greatly to the story. The climax features a huge showdown involving: (the characters I've listed) Catwoman, a cyborg, and an entire gang caught in the middle. If you fell off the "bat-tracks" as I did with the Bane saga, buy this book. It is TOTALLY worth it.

Hey..We killed Superman so what can we do to Batman?

Remember in the Ninties when DC decided to go a bit mental and do what seemed to be a lot of damage to some of their characters?Will if not heres part of a great Batman story..This is technically part 3 of a 3 part story (If you collect the garaphic novel editions) and you really do need Batman :Knightfall books one and two to build you up to this book (Batman Prodigal also follows it nicely getting Dick grayson to play Batman for a while). In this book we get to see Bruce Wayne return to reclaim his mantle (see the Knightfall books to see what happened).those who are unfamiliar with Batman or the Knightfall books will find the whole story a little strange to say the least as they have no character history and the first question you ask yourself is who is Jean Paul Valley.I can only recomend this book as part of the set..If you dont own or intend to buy the first books forget it.Make them your priority..Then you'll find this a fantastic read

The Bat Takes Back the Knight

It amazes me how two men, so highly trained and so directly matched in physical ability could be so different in method to accomplish the same goals. Bruce Wayne takes on the challenge of reclaming the "Mantle of the Bat" from his chosen successor, Jean-Paul Valley, Azrael. Bruce, trained as a fighter, Azrael, a brainwashed assasin. Bruce, broken by Bane, Jean-Paul, destroyed Bane and holding Gotham in terror. Bruce, vowing never to take a life. Jean-Paul, with blood on his hands and murder in his mouth. Who is the stronger Dark Knight? Who truly protects Gotham from the worst that evil has to offer? One, whose life gave purpose to the Bat, or the other, who the Bat gave purpose to his life.
