Grant Morrison has the tendency to be awarded the privilege of writing momentous moments in the ongoing DC chronology. But will everything go smoothly? And who exactly are the new Batman and Robin? The newest era of The Dark Knight begins here! They also tackle their first mission investigating a child who’s been abducted by the mysterious Domino Killer. The new Dynamic Duo hit the streets with a bang in their new flying Batmobile as they face off against an assemblage of villains called the Circus of Strange. "Knightfall" also sees Jean-Paul Valley/Azrael - a character created by O'Neil, Joe Quesada and Peter Milligan who first appeared in 1992 Batman: Sword of Azrael #1 - become the Dark Knight while Batman works with Doctor Shondra Kinsolving to recover from his injuries.Writer: Grant Morrison | Artist: Frank Quitely (#1-3), Philip Tan (#4-6) | Inks: Jonathan Glapion (#4-6) | Colors: Alex Sinclair (#1-3,5-6), Pantazis (#4) The moment was also adapted to live-action in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Returns, released in 2012. The fight ultimately results in Batman's back being broken over Bane's knee, which is depicted in Kelley Jones' iconic Batman #497 cover. Tired and suffering from burnout, Batman and Bane have a major confrontation within Wayne Manor only after the villain frees a number of other antagonists from Arkham Asylum.
