Bruce Wayne, battle-broken and out of commission after his epic showdown with Gotham's famous villain Bane, has appointed a new Dark Knight to keep the bad guys at bay. Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael) has assumed the role of the caped crusader, but without Bruce's integrity as a calming influence, Jean-Paul is swiftly getting out of hand, alienating both Robin and Commissioner Gordon. Meanwhile, the hulking baddie Bane is still on the loose, while new villainous foes are introduced onto the battlefield that is Gotham, including master marksman Mekros and sinister sniper Gunhawk. Also, watch out for the return of familiar faces such as the serial killer Abattoir and, of course, the eerily jovial Joker. Can the new Dark Knight face these nefarious challenges without Bruce Wayne and Robin? Might his violent manner of crime-fighting permanently cripple the already beleaguered Gotham?

Introduction by Jordan B. Gorfinkel. Afterword by Darren J. Vincenzo. THE BATTLE OF THE BATMEN! In the aftermath of his epic showdown with Bane, Bruce Wayne was left grievously injured and unable to fulfill his duties as Gothams defender, Batman. But the man he deputized to take his place, Jean-Paul Valley (a.k.a. Azrael), has now abandoned the pursuit of justice in favor of remorseless vengeance. Increasingly paranoid and disturbed, Valley has begun to violently eliminate anyone he judges to be an evildoer, much to the original Dark Knights dismay. Bruce knows that he must reclaim his mantle from Valley, but the fight wont be easy. Although his broken back has been miraculously repaired, his combat skills must be honed even sharper than they were before they faced Bane – a challenge taken up by the shadowy martial arts grandmaster Lady Shiva. As he slowly rebuilds his relationships with Robin, Nightwing, and his other allies, Bruce keeps a steady eye on Azrael, waiting for the right moment to challenge his wayward successor and take back his legacy – or die trying. The entire KNIGHTSEND SAGA collected in massive hardcover volume! Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 760 pages, full color. Teen Cover price $100.00.
