Batman: Knightfall Vol. 3: Knightsend

Batman: Knightfall Vol. 3: Knightsend delivers a powerful and satisfying conclusion to one of the most iconic Batman storylines ever. After watching Jean-Paul Valley (Azrael) spiral into madness as Gotham’s ruthless and unhinged Batman, this volume finally sees Bruce Wayne’s return to reclaim the mantle.The story is packed with intense action, psychological depth, and emotional stakes, as Bruce undergoes grueling training to recover from his injuries and prove he is still worthy of being Gotham’s protector. The final confrontation between Bruce and Jean-Paul is gripping—a true battle of ideologies, as Bruce must outthink and outmaneuver his unstable successor rather than simply overpower him.I also really enjoyed how Robin, Nightwing, and other supporting characters play a role in Bruce’s return, reinforcing the importance of his relationships and the stark contrast between his Batman and Jean-Paul’s. The artwork remains classic '90s Batman—dark, moody, and action-packed, perfectly fitting the tone of the story.Pros:Bruce Wayne’s triumphant return and psychological journeyHigh-stakes showdown between Bruce and Jean-PaulGreat use of supporting characters like Nightwing and RobinIntense action sequences and dramatic storytellingA fitting conclusion to the Knightfall arcCons:Some parts feel slightly rushed compared to earlier volumesJean-Paul’s arc could have been explored a bit more before the climaxOverall, Knightsend is a must-read for any Batman fan, wrapping up the Knightfall saga with an unforgettable final act. If you've followed the journey from Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, this is the epic conclusion you’ve been waiting for!

This was a really interesting era for Batman and Gotham in general. Knightfall kicked off an increasingly desperate period during the mid-90s for Bruce Wayne/Batman resulting in desperate times for Gotham.As the cowl passes from a broken, exhausted Bruce Wayne to the unhinged Azrael, Robin and Nightwing look on anxiously as Gotham sinks into chaos driven first by Bane and then the various nutters he had released upon a city already reeling from the loss of the Batman.This epic volume collects every story from the various comic series in an uninterrupted journey to restitution for Gotham's true protector on the face of overwhelming opposition from within and without.Review not just for this closing saga but the whole trilogy, it's a total blast.

Bruce Wayne completes his recovery and returns to Gotham, where he must learn to be the Batman once more. However, an increasingly brutal Jean Paul Valley refuses to give up the cowl without a fight. After a vicious fight, Wayne banishes Valley from the Batcave and leaves Dick Grayson, the first Robin, to assume the role of Batman.Both Valley and Grayson struggle in their new lives and Commissioner Gordon feels that the city has lost faith in Batman as Tim Drake begins his work as the third Robin once more.This is an interesting, tough, storyline about identity and how various characters see themselves (and others) without the mask. Plenty of action, but reflective and melancholic in places. Dixon and his team have struck gold here.

It was a nice volume but volume 1 was the most interesting one...the story behind bane and azrael was really nice...

Excellent item!

This volume contains mostly adventures with Dick Grayson (Nightwing) filling in for Bruce Wayne's Batman, alongside Tim Drake as robing, and that's a good thing. The stories are enjoyable, the duo click, a well written collection.

This conclusion has it all and I definitely recommend you read it as it is such a classic story arc
