Indeed, in later issues, Tim Drake, the current Robin, asks Batman if he is even needed as his sidekick anymore. The storyline of Knightfall drove a large rift in the relationship between Robin and Batman, as Batman sought to face the outbreak alone. Among the freed inmates, there were numerous high profile villains, such as the Joker, who trapped Arkham's administrator Jeremiah Arkham, and Scarecrow, as well as many less known villains, such as the Mad Hatter, The Ventriloquist, Firefly, Cavalier, and Victor Zsasz. Bane's plan consisted of weakening Batman by forcing him to deal with the deadly villains one at a time. The plot of Knightfall began with the master criminal Bane freeing all of the maximum-security inmates of Arkham Asylum. In KnightsEnd, Bruce Wayne returns and takes his mantle as Batman back from the usurper Azrael. In The Crusade, Azrael's Batman grows more violent and crazy, while in The Search, Bruce Wayne seeks a cure for his paralysis. Knightquest is also divided into two parts. This requires Azrael to become the new Batman, and defeat Bane in Who Rules the Night?. In The Broken Bat, Bane defeats Batman by breaking his spine.
The story was originally published in Batman, Catwoman, Detective Comics, Justice League Task Force, Legends of the Dark Knight, Robin, Shadow of the Bat, Showcase '93 and Showcase '94.īane, the primary villain of the storyline, is introduced in Vengeance of Bane, and the vigilante Azrael is introduced in Sword of Azrael.
