Batman: Knightfall Part One: Broken Bat


Arkham Asylum has been breached, and all the inmates have escaped.  Joker, Riddler, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Mr. Zsasz, Firefly, Mad Hatter, you name it . . . they're out.  As they wreak havoc on a weary city, Batman (sick and increasingly fatigued) relentlessly pursues them all.  Watching from afar, Bane waits for his moment to strike.  Everyone has a breaking point . . . is this the end for Bats?

Part of the inspiration for Dark Knight Rises, I enjoyed this tale.  Part one of three, it's incomplete, but it's cool to see Batman try (and fail) to do the impossible- take everyone on at once.  The art and dialogue isn't the finest, so I give it minor dings for that, but this is still worthwhile.

Rating: A-
