lavendersparkFinished Knightfall Vol 1 and moved on to Vol 2 & 3. Now I'm stuck until I get the next set on my Batman reading list.
Mentally defeated and physically broken, Bruce Wayne suffered a crippling blow while battling the brutal Bane. Now, the mantle of the Bat must be passed on to another, and Jean Paul Valley answers the call! But as the new Caped Crusader slowly loses his grip on sanity, his idea of justice takes a violent and deadly turn. Witnessing this dangerous behavior firsthand, Nightwing and Robin try to come to grips with Bruce's highly controversial decision, while the new Batman sets his sights on taking revenge against Bane! I didn't enjoy this one much. One set of "villains" was really annoying and I couldn't stand the replacement Batman.
In the final chapter of this series, Bruce Wayne completes his improbable recovery from his broken back and is ready to resume his role as Gotham's protector. But Jean Paul Valley, the man who now patrols the night as a vicious and violent Batman, is not willing to give up his new identity. Driven to the brink of madness by inner demons, the new Batman seeks to destroy Bruce as they meet in mortal combat. This was slightly better, but I'm still happy to be done with this series.
