In the Detective Comics’ Issue of the Beast, sacrifice isn’t going on tonight – but hell and fire are sworn to be released.

We continue in the wake of Jack Drake and Chandra Kinsolving being kidnapped.

We start the wrap up of the first act of the Knightfall Saga – in terms of Knightfall itself – as Jean-Paul Valley/Batman II gets ready to take on Bane.

Scarecrow wants to become a God – we’ll see what the new Dark Knight has to think about it.

Batman II, you’re taking on Scarecrow – hope you sur-wait, I’ve just been informed that’s the wrong franchise. Crap.

Last time, Jean-Paul Valley took on the Mantle of the Bat. This time he takes on his first member of the Rogue’s Gallery.

When we last left off, Bruce Wayne had just regained consciousness after his beating at the hands of Bane.

We conclude our flashback with the Sham Trial of Batman.

Now it’s time to come to the aftermath of Batman’s brutal beating at the hands of Bane.

It’s has very much all come down to this – Batman vs. Bane.

The Mayor has been rescued, but Batman and Krol have to escape a watery grave.

The Joker and Scarecrow are still in play, and they still have the mayor as their hostage.

The Riddler has yet to be solved, and Firefly is still running hot.

We continue with Bruce Wayne’s obligations creeping up on him as well.

As Joker and Scarecrow torment the Mayor, Gotham burns!

The Joker hasn’t made their presence known in Knightfall yet. Time to fix that.

Knightfall continues with a rematch.

You know what Batman’s in a good head spot to handle right now? A hostage crisis.

We follow up with the aftermath of of Film Freak’s death.

We get to the first numbered issue of Knightfall this time.

We now come to the biggest inciting event of the Knightfall Arc – the rubber hits the road from here.

We get into another, more significant member of Batman’s Rogue’s Gallery this issue.
