Bane has spent a lifetime on the South American island of Santa Prisca. The time he spent as the toughest inmate in their worst prison led him to develop berserker strength, savage intellect and unparalleled megalomania. In Gotham City, Batman begins to feel he has lost his edge as he is forced to deal, in rapid succession, with the returning villain Black Mask and his gang, a crazed killer called Metalhead and a sharpshooter assassin hired by an imprisoned mobster to murder Commissioner Gordon. Part of a massive 25th anniversary recut of the entire BATMAN- KNIGHTFALL saga, this graphic novel collects BATMAN- VENGEANCE OF BANE #1, BATMAN #484-491 and DETECTIVE COMICS #654-658.
The introduction of Bane and the beginning of the end of Batman. It is an interesting characterization of Batman that is presented here, much less composed and more self-destructive. It is a great build up for what's to come.
