About the series
Over a seven-year span, DC Comics' Batman: Knightfall unfolded as a landmark 1990s saga, most often scripted by Doug Moench, Chuck Dixon, and Jo Duffy, with defining visuals from Jim Aparo, Jim Balent, and Klaus Janson. This six-issue series chronicled a pivotal era where a new, brutally efficient villain systematically broke the Bat—both physically and symbolically—forcing an unexpected successor to take up the mantle. It remains a cornerstone of Batman lore for its high-stakes exploration of legacy and the cost of heroism.
