1 hr 18 min - 113: ACE COMICALS PRESENTS- BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL PART V
In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fifth and final installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL.
Presenting “BATMAN: KNIGHTSEND”
Following the events of “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” and “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” , Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Alfred has gone. Jean-Paul valley’s campaign of terror and one knight, deepy violent crusade on crime has ravaged Gotham. The mansion is in a state of disrepair and Gotham has lost trust in her champion. The mantle of the Bat now resides in the iron claw of a zealous dark paladin who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Bruce is determined to take back the mantle and correct his mistake, to restore the Batman, as a symbol to its former glory. But first he needs to regain his edge, before going toe to toe with Jean-Paul for the title!
Now there really is just one arc here that closes out the battle and puts the mantle back where it belongs with Bruce Wayne. But following Knightfall the story is not truly over. It isn’t a tidy ending, which is why we chose to cover the fallout for true closure! This is collected in two subsequent chunks “BATAMAN: PRODIGAL” and “BATMAN: TROIKA”
It's all here. The thrilling conclusion to the BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL SAGA and the fallout of these explosive events!

1 hr 46 min - 111: ACE COMICALS PRESENTS- BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL PART IV
In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fourth installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL.
Bane has been defeated by a new, darker, reckless and more violent Batman and now he rules the night. Jean-Paul Valley for better or worse wears the cowl… What follows is our discussion and the highlights of his career as Batman! It’s all mostly mercs and hitmen from here on out…We cover:
-Detective Comics #667-675-Robin #1-2-Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #19-20 and #24-28-Batman #501-508-Catwoman #6-7-Showcase ’94 #7This is the portion of the Knightfall epic known as “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” and covers Jean-Paul Valley's tenure as Batman and time in the cowl, in Gotham.
It is at this point that there is a fork in the path for the Knightfall saga and as mentioned in previous episodes in this series “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” is the other part of the story, concerning Bruce Wayne's recovery and globetrotting quest to rescue Dr Kinsolving and Tim Drake's Father. In reading order we have put "The Search" after "The Crusade" although the events are happening simultaneously.We also discuss "The Search" broadly at the beginning of this episode, but we ultimately decided to give more time to "The Crusade" because it is the better written and more interesting side of events.
"The Search" covers:
-Justice League Task Force #5-6,-Batman: Shadow Of The Bat #21-23,-Batman: Legends Of The Dark Knight #59-61-Robin #7Send any questions or feedback to [email protected].
