Representaion As Books Batman: Knightfall (Batman)
Holy great prose novelization, Batman!BAT-PROSE NOVEL
I was real lucky to get this book when it was getting out to the market (back then in 1994) and so, getting the hardcover edition that I totally love it.
When the storyline of Knightfall was in comics, I wasn't able to buy them but I was quite eager to read the story.
Even on TPBs would require to buy several volumes, so when I met this gorgeous hardcover edition where in just one book you get the full Knightfall story (of course in prose presentation without any illustration) I thought that it was a wise move to buy it.
Not to mention that I saved a lot of the money with it.
Also, I had never read a prose novel with super-heroes (at that moment).
I have read a lot, I mean A LOT of comic books, but a prose novel about super-hero genre was something new to me.
So I thought that it was worthy to try it.
I'm truly glad that I did it.
I absolutely loved it!!!
Definitely Batman is a perfect character to read in prose format.
I loved the experience and I totally recommend to anyone who is fan of super-heroes to try this novel.
Also, the book is written by the great Dennis O'Neil who is a veteran in the universe of Batman so they couldn't find a better writer to give the job to do the novelization of the popular comic book storyline.
Even I like that here you appreciate that Bane clearly has a designed plan and he isn't just a brute with super strength.
BREAKING THE BATMAN
Bane is coming to Gotham City and he has a plan...
...to break (literally) The Batman and taking the town.
Batman is taken to his physical limits, beyond that any man, even him, could endure and at his weakest moment...
...the Dark Knight falls.
For the first time since Bruce Wayne swore to revenge the death of his parents, protecting Gotham City...
...he is unable to keep the promise.
Gotham City is no longer under the watch of Batman.
Bruce Wayne needs to look a way to get back to his former self...
...and the only way is to leave Gotham and searching out, far away, for a solution which it won't be easy or quick.
So, Bruce Wayne needs to select a new Batman to leave in his place...
...BUT...
...his unexpected chosen one to take the mantle of The Batman will surprise everybody!
And the consequences will be terrible for Gotham City finding its fellow citizens "trapped" between a merciless Bane and a zealot new Batman.
This is one of pivotal moments in Batman's war on crime!
Let's go! To the Batmobile and read it!

Great book, felt that the author kinda hurried to finish the novel. I highly suggest getting it!3.5 not as great as comics but Batman from a different lens. Batman character was deeper than comics, but all other characters were left out to dry.
Home Depot
Picked this up on a whim, after not having read it since it was first published. It is a novelization of a storyline that ran over two years in various Batman comics. It moves at a good pace; it has good characterization; it does a decent job of novelizing [is that a word?] a series of comic books into a 'story book' format. It held my interest throughout the entire book.I remember the first time I read this novelization, I was angry that it was not 'exactly like' the storyline in the comics. It
I never thought any book could beat Greg Rucka's novelization of Batman: No Man's Land, and though this might not, they're tied for first.While Batman: No Man's Land took on a great premise, and pushed plot, plot, plot - Batman: Knightfall is a bit more interested in introducing the new characters from this series. You think you know Bane? Well if you've just seen the Tom Hardy version, you don't know him until you've read the chapter of his life in this book.Just a great book, and a great way
This is one of those fundamental stories if one wants to know more about the dark knight.I read an italian edition which had a review as a preface by someone so enthusiast about this saga, i was so thrilled!Overall though, I really didn't like it, it's a very disappointing saga and it took me one year and some months to finish it!
Read this one back in sixth grade; couldn't put it down; intense.
