Today, we're diving deep into the event that literally broke the Bat: Knightfall.

Released in 1993, this epic crossover introduced the mastermind mercenary Bane, who executed a brilliant, brutal plan: first, he released every inmate from Arkham Asylum to exhaust the Caped Crusader. Then, when Batman was at his absolute limit, Bane delivered the iconic blow that snapped Bruce Wayne's spine!

But the story doesn't end there. Bruce must pass the mantle to a new, more violent Batman—Jean-Paul Valley, aka Azrael—and the dark knight we thought we knew is changed forever. Get ready for a story of breaking points, bad replacements, and one hell of a comeback. This is Knightfall!
