Bane is my favourite villain because he is Batman’s physical and mental equal. Both of them grew up in circumstances beyond their control and one had nurture, the other didn’t and it’s such a cool contrast.
@@eatchas except it's relevant because bane has lost to batman like several times, but people only remember his one win which wasn't even him beating batman but his entire rogues gallery.
Please do more Bane! He is so underappreciated because of the movies and shows. He is by far my favorite villain and should be recognized for just how interesting he is!
I remember getting so pumped when he started adding all that tech to his bat suit, but it was also just as dope how Bruce in the end turned all that tech against him, luring him deeper into the bat caves, to finally defeat Jean-Paul Valley and reclaim mantle of the bat.
@@windubitably I was definitely disappointed with the end of his tenure. I was hoping for a physical confrontation that would determine who was the superior warrior. In the end…sunlight and talk-no-jutsu ended JPV’s iteration of Batman.
There is definitely an element of Bane that is very Kraven the Hunter like. He hunts Batman with almost the same intensity that Kraven hunts Spider-Man.
I always felt batman was shocked that not only was he tracked, discovered but also fully taken down. By 1 person with little effort. Thus it fully broke him mentally and even maybe inflict fear for the first time so that why he just took the beating
Yes Rob please continue the story! I like when you read for us, your intensity and inflection and such, during dialog and exposition is unparalleled! 💯
This brings back so much nostalgia. Living in the prairies, you dont get much comic book variety - but me and my friends managed to get our hands on most of the Knightfall/Death of Superman! Thanks for stirring some fond memories! xoxo skizz0tty
Great work, as per usual, my dude. It would be a daaamn shame, if you didn’t follow through with this story arc. It’s too good not to tell the whole story!
"We're doing borad strokes" My man, you are doing mile wide broad strokes. I'd be interested to see the rest of this series. I know what happens having been around comics, but I don't *know* what happens.
Thanks Rob for sharing the content I remember reading this comic watching the behind the scenes of The Dark Knight rises and listening to where they took inspiration from this comic.
Yes, continue, please. I tell people this is a good small run they can buy and it is a major arc in Batman cannon. It is also not that expensive to buy the full story just like the original Flashpoint run.
I would love it if you covered Knight's fall and Knight's end. Breaking the Bat was one of my favorite stories. Would love to see it all the way through when Batman comes back. Cover this please!
Great video rob, hope we get to see u cover more of the knightfall saga. Quick suggestion tho. Maybe u can use the image from heroes in crisis of bane breaking batman's back for the thumbnail?
This was the 1st comic i ever bought, not the 1st read but during the time, Superman died outta nowhere... This event dropped a year later!!so classic!! My favorite batman story impossible to be done in live or animation
To this very day Robb I want an animated version of this entire story. Knightfall Knightquest the Search The Crusade and KnightsEnd. I want them to copy Jim Aparo's artwork and many others who worked on this. If you remember, this whole story was a response to many Batman fans feeling like Batman had gotten boring. I believe DC Comics also wanted to capitalize on the Death of Superman Story arc as well.
When Bane says Batman was a disappointment I went "Bro, you fought him when he was close to his weakest point. It doesn't get more free and/or cowardly than that. You don't get to say he sucks unless you fought him when he was at 100% and still dominated him."
I remember when the Knightfall saga first dropped. No one saw this coming. Then, they stuck with it for a year. This saga was a better version of Superman’s Doomsday storyline. The build up to it was so under the radar. It was just masterful storytelling in so many ways.
This is for anyone who hasn't read it yet I absolutely recommend reading it for yourself the tension of this fight and the build up lead into one of the most devastating climaxes even if you already know the outcome
So if you’re covering classic DC storylines could you cover Batman Cataclysm and No Man’s Land, Long Halloween, Hush, War Games, and Under the Red Hood, and I know it’s a bit much but could you also cover the Triangle Era of Superman from the 90s and the Geoff Johns and the rest of Josh Williamson’s run on the Flash
PLEASE DO THE REST OF THIS!!! Such a great story.
Second the motion. 👍
Third this motion
Fourth the motion
5th the motion
.... see Rob.... there's more than 4 of us fans that know this arc
I saw that robot chicken "doodoodoodoo THAT'S BANE!" bit so many years ago that i just cannot take the back breaking seriously
YOU JUST WALK UP AND BREAK MY BACK! WHO DOES THAT? WELL BOO! BOO TO YOU, SIR!
@@marquan1976 DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO THAT'S BANE!!!
Bane is my favourite villain because he is Batman’s physical and mental equal. Both of them grew up in circumstances beyond their control and one had nurture, the other didn’t and it’s such a cool contrast.
Bane is nowhere near batman's mental equal. And bane admitted in knight fall he cannot beat batman in a fair fight.
@@MrSchizoid405how many people does Batman beat in a fair fight. Out plotting Batman is the most equivelent of a fair fight imo.
Deathstroke is a better match as far as physical and metal equal.
@@eatchas except it's relevant because bane has lost to batman like several times, but people only remember his one win which wasn't even him beating batman but his entire rogues gallery.
@@MrSchizoid405And people tend to forget how Bane ran like a little bitch when Azrael beat his ass…
Dude, I looked through your entire library recently for this😂😂😂😂
Get out of my head, ROB
Please do more Bane! He is so underappreciated because of the movies and shows. He is by far my favorite villain and should be recognized for just how interesting he is!
Yes keep on covering this and keep on covering older comics. There are so many stores we haven't read or seen. You & your team are doing great work.
Awesome vid. Knightfall is one of the best Batman story archs. I would definitely like to hear you cover more.
Please talk about the Azrael
Batman. Azrael Batman makes Arkham Knights Batman look like his sweet and reasonable baby brother.
Facts lol
I remember getting so pumped when he started adding all that tech to his bat suit, but it was also just as dope how Bruce in the end turned all that tech against him, luring him deeper into the bat caves, to finally defeat Jean-Paul Valley and reclaim mantle of the bat.
@@windubitably I was definitely disappointed with the end of his tenure. I was hoping for a physical confrontation that would determine who was the superior warrior. In the end…sunlight and talk-no-jutsu ended JPV’s iteration of Batman.
I have the entire Knightfall saga. It's one of my favorite collections from childhood.
It's literally one graphic novel
But, it was a great novel.
We old as dirt now😅
I'm one of those 4 Azriel batman fans! PLEASE cover not just Knightfall... but please also go over the Knightquest, and KnightsEnd storylines as well!
There is definitely an element of Bane that is very Kraven the Hunter like. He hunts Batman with almost the same intensity that Kraven hunts Spider-Man.
Yes I want to see the rest . Excellent video . Pure nostalgia I've read these as a child . Batman gold imo
*Bane: "The hierarchy of Gotham is about to change"*
Lol Not when Azrael comes to dig his foot in his ass
😄
Batman is gonna need Senzu Beans for that spine breaking of Bane.
I always felt batman was shocked that not only was he tracked, discovered but also fully taken down. By 1 person with little effort. Thus it fully broke him mentally and even maybe inflict fear for the first time so that why he just took the beating
Yes Rob please continue the story!
I like when you read for us, your intensity and inflection and such, during dialog and exposition is unparalleled! 💯
I think you HAVE to cover the rest. It’s such an influential comic, keep up the great work Rob!
This brings back so much nostalgia. Living in the prairies, you dont get much comic book variety - but me and my friends managed to get our hands on most of the Knightfall/Death of Superman!
Thanks for stirring some fond memories!

Knightfall was the 1st batman graphic novel i read as a kid. Have all 3 and they are still my favourites
Great work, as per usual, my dude. It would be a daaamn shame, if you didn’t follow through with this story arc. It’s too good not to tell the whole story!
Uhh YEAH, please do a video of the rest!!! Awesome as always
"We're doing borad strokes" My man, you are doing mile wide broad strokes. I'd be interested to see the rest of this series. I know what happens having been around comics, but I don't *know* what happens.
My absolute favorite Batman story, I say, keep it going.
You know we do Rob 😂this is like number one video I thought whhhy have you not done ...need part 2 Barry Allen speed
Please cover the rest! I love the confrontation at the end of knightfall
this is the first batman story i ever read please do the rest
Knightfall was my introduction into the world of Batman as I was starting to get into comics, Rob you gotta cover all 3 parts now
nightfall was my childhood comic. i own and read all three of the big omnibuses. i might have to reread them after this
Hell yeah I want you to finish. I requested this years ago.
Thanks Rob for sharing the content I remember reading this comic watching the behind the scenes of The Dark Knight rises and listening to where they took inspiration from this comic.
We need the next part !!! I almost threw my phone because of that cliffhanger 🤣
Been waiting for this for years.
Thank you for covering more DC content big dawg
Keep going! I was a big reader during the 90s comic boom! Great memories!
Yes, Yes I would like more of this story!
hell yeah you need to do a video on Jean-Paul Valley's crazy ass...
He was grade A nut...
Yes please! Crazy you haven’t done it! I never thought to look for this one.
Yes, continue, please. I tell people this is a good small run they can buy and it is a major arc in Batman cannon. It is also not that expensive to buy the full story just like the original Flashpoint run.
The Jean Paul Valley arc of Knightfall was were my comic book fandom began as a kid. Keep going with this story!
Thanks for this! I would love to see more of this story.
Been waiting on you to cover this for literally yesrs. Good stuff man.
You can mend a man's body, but his mind, takes longer.
I would love it if you covered Knight's fall and Knight's end. Breaking the Bat was one of my favorite stories. Would love to see it all the way through when Batman comes back. Cover this please!
i was looking for this story from you. such a great one.
Bane breaks his back but then the next comic has the best cover of the breaking I wish I still had it
Bane 2: PED in the City
yes Rob please cover the rest of this arc.
I have been loving this video format.
With such cunning strategy; no prep-time necessary!
Great video rob, hope we get to see u cover more of the knightfall saga. Quick suggestion tho. Maybe u can use the image from heroes in crisis of bane breaking batman's back for the thumbnail?
This was the 1st comic i ever bought, not the 1st read but during the time, Superman died outta nowhere...
This event dropped a year later!!so classic!! My favorite batman story impossible to be done in live or animation
Please post another video finishing this.
This is too good a story to stop now. Please give us more good sir!
We definitely want the rest brother💯💪🏾🙌🏾
To this very day Robb I want an animated version of this entire story. Knightfall Knightquest the Search The Crusade and KnightsEnd. I want them to copy Jim Aparo's artwork and many others who worked on this. If you remember, this whole story was a response to many Batman fans feeling like Batman had gotten boring. I believe DC Comics also wanted to capitalize on the Death of Superman Story arc as well.
I’ve already read this story tons of times, but YES, make the next chapter. NOW!!!
Yes please, i would love to see the rest of this..
Yeah you have too bro. This one was crazy good
Please cover the rest of Knightfall, it's such a good story
The Fact Rob didn't give us the resolution to this story kinda feels like a villain move. Well played.
A THOUSAND TIMES YES, WE WANT MORE CLASSIC STORIES!
You never covered Nightfall?! D:
Knightfall.
@@1aml3g3nd13that’s petty 😂😂😂😂
😢
Nightfall, where's that?
Or batman r.i.p
Dude, you better cover more of this, lol.
This and Demon in a bottle are my two favorite story arch's in all of comics..
Yes. This was a great video!
Just found your channel. I like it! But omg organize things into folders!! Unapproachable
FINALLY. This was my first comic story ever. We need an animated movie of the nightfall story.
Yes please do a video on Batman's recovery.
Rob you ant right for this bro the cliffhangers we need the full story
Do the rest of Knightfall! a classic!
Been waiting for this. Had some Knightfall comics. Nobody covers this. Or Age of Apocalypse.
When Bane says Batman was a disappointment I went "Bro, you fought him when he was close to his weakest point. It doesn't get more free and/or cowardly than that. You don't get to say he sucks unless you fought him when he was at 100% and still dominated him."
I mean...he kinda does later on
Please finish Knightfall! One of my favorite archs!
This was my 2nd comic ever!!
We want the full saga man
Why is Bane so popular, it feels all I ever see about is his muscles and that be breaks Batman's back.
I remember when the Knightfall saga first dropped. No one saw this coming. Then, they stuck with it for a year.
This saga was a better version of Superman’s Doomsday storyline. The build up to it was so under the radar. It was just masterful storytelling in so many ways.
Yes please finish this awesome story
Loved that video!
I threaten my children when they misbehave by telling them I’ll break their back like Bane did Batman, growing up in the 90s was fun
One of the best Batman comics ever made!!
No way Rob just told us the afterstory instead of saying “welp that’s it” that’s so funny
Yea I’m definitely down for the rest of the story! 😎 lu ya Rob!!
Rob you dead wrong for making me this invested just to leave me on a cliff hanger😒😭
9:47 attack him at his weakest and you’re juiced up 😂😂😂
This is for anyone who hasn't read it yet I absolutely recommend reading it for yourself the tension of this fight and the build up lead into one of the most devastating climaxes even if you already know the outcome
Know this storyline by heart,but would love for you to cover it
“Ahh yes, I wonder what would break first. Your spirit, or your body?”
Yes, please do more
This is the first proper batman story that I read after growing up watching the Adam West re-runs on TV. I was more than a little shocked.
You STILL left us hangin'!!!
I want more. I must have more of this.
Yes. I know bits and pieces of the remainder of the story, but not all. Go ahead Rob
Are we getting the rest of Knightfall? I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time
This is like bathing in nostalgia ❤
(I was so happy when Azrael got to Bane😊)
I need this in my life PT2
Yes we need the rest of this hype. The other half of this story is crazy.
So if you’re covering classic DC storylines could you cover Batman Cataclysm and No Man’s Land, Long Halloween, Hush, War Games, and Under the Red Hood, and I know it’s a bit much but could you also cover the Triangle Era of Superman from the 90s and the Geoff Johns and the rest of Josh Williamson’s run on the Flash
Yes I'd love to see the rest of the story 💯
To Rob "The Master Storyteller"... HELL YEA WE WANT MORE OF THIS STORY!😁
Can you do Batman Cult? Love that story, Jim Starlin did a great job! Wanted to get all 4 books signed but Jim wanted 20 bucks a signature.
Man, what a time in comics. Batman gets his back broken & Superman dies. Those were some crazy years to be a superhero fan.
