Bruce finally comes back, goes to some crazy training at Shiva's hand and then proceeds to kick Jean-Paul's ass.Yeah for Bruce !The Bruce has to leave again and leaves Dick in charge and we finally see a worthy successor to Bruce as Batman.Better than the second volume but we need Bruce in charge !

Really, really long....

Some 1200 odd pages later, Nightwing finally shows up with the worst hairstyle in all of comics creation and asks bruce, hey why didn't you call me sooner dickbag, and that's a good question we could have avoided volume two altogether but it happened we need to move on. This volume sees batsy training and taking on jean-paul, after reading volume two you do invest a lot of time with this character just for him to be pushed aside in this volume he's gone off the deep end, and the ending is so ant...

Great end to the Knightfall story. I didn't find the Prodigal story overly fascinating, but in the end I found it necessary (though not to the Knightfall arc). In all it seems to me that they left too many important parts out of these three omnibus editions. Still, it was 1800+ pages of batty goodness. I'm happy.

Dick Grayson's return to Gotham was great (I'll leave it at that).

KNIGHTSEND, the return of Bruce Wayne as Batman, is the most tightly written of the Knightfall trilogy, but it's not without its faults. Jean-Paul Valley, aka Batman 2.0, aka AzBats, was presented to readers before KNIGHTFALL—in SWORD OF AZRAEL—as a zealot who was mentally unstable due to brainwashing. He goes off the deep end near the end of KNIGHTQUEST and, in KNIGHTSEND, decides the deep end wasn't deep enough and does a cannonball into the Challenger Deep. Given Valley's already-precarious m...

This is a considerable step up from Knightfall Vol. 2, which I found to be an interminable, seemingly intentionally unlikable comic. However, the stink of Jean Paul Valley's Batman is still all over this volume, no matter how refreshing it is to see the return of Bruce Wayne, and Dick Grayson finally don the batsuit (which he should have done from the get-go). This story just can't pull itself out of the depths the last one left us in.The first half of this immense book is the titular "Knightsen...

The end of an event that went on way too long, like similar DC and Marvel events of the 1990s. At least this last installment doesn't focus on Azrael and his ongoing delusions ad infinitum, as we have in the 2nd Knightfall volume.

A fitting end to the trilogy.I really enjoyed each volume.Learned a lot about Nightwing and his ties to Bruce Wayne and also got to see Nightwing take up the mantle of the bat.I also enjoyed learning more about Robin.This series was a fine edition to the DC Universe.

Knightfall ends better than it's middle part, but can never live up to the start. With Bruce back he decides it is time to take down azrael. So he does just that. Springing his plan into action he begins to train to be able to conquer the younger and stronger warrior. But will he have to kill to become stronger is the question? On top of that Bruce has to go on vacation for awhile so Dick takes over as Batman. This is a interesting idea that I guess only last few months and it's not nearly as go...

After all of the build up and attention it received, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES finally hit the movie theaters this past summer, which I'm sure just about everyone has gone and seen for themselves by now. And how fitting that the wait finally came to an end, that the last new volume of Knighfall--or more appropriately Knightsend--has finally come out after this long. We waited and read the exquisite first volume Batman: Knightfall, Vol. 1, and then the hate-it-or-love-it affair with Jean Paul Valley

Another monster volume drawing the (overly long) Knightfall storyline to a close. Bruce is back, and has claimed the cowl back from Jean Paul Valley. And that's roughly halfway through this volume. The rest of the book is Dick Grayson's first stint as Batman, with Tim Drake as Robin. It was this second half of the book that I really enjoyed. Dick really does make a good Batman, and it's a shame that comic conventions means he'll only get to take that role on briefly every decade or so. Tim's my

I'm just happy this arc was done. I HATE Azrael, I can't emphasize this enough. But as much as I appreciated the Bats coming back to take on the mantle of Gotham, I couldn't help but feel I missed something. How did Bruce find Mr. Drake then? Where did Alfred go? Where did Dr. Kinsolving go? It must have been in some issue around this arc, but it wasn't in the collected edition. Where did Bruce go when he left a bruised and battered Gotham in Nightwing's hands? As much as I like Nightwing, I did...

I MADE IT. I FINALLY FUCKING FINISHED IT!!Was it worth it? Yes, I think. The first volume is fantastic and I understand why it's such an essential batman story. But volume 2 was ABSOLUTE SHITE I had to force myself to finish it I was so close to just DNF it. Volume 3 was alright. If you love batman and like bane this is a story you'll want to read but I would honestly suggest just skipping volume 2 entirely just spoil yourself and go straight to volume 3. Anyhow I'm so incredibly happy to be don...

Way better than vol. 2, and I almost feel like you can skip vol. 2 and go right into this ....the deterioration of Azrael and the final confrontation with Batman was worth it.

Batman has had enough of this insanity with Jean Paul Valley, and quite frankly, so have I. Point of fact, I was fed up with it from the start. At least now, everything is relatively as it should be.

This crossover fell off a cliff in the end.

This novel includes both aftermath issues with Robin and Catwoman and also the Showcase #94: Part 10 where you just kind of find out a little bit what happens to Jean Paul after Legends of the Dark Knight #63: Part 10. I love this story. I mean this is like one of my favorite Batman stories because it's just Batman versus Batman versus Batman and everything in between. You got Robin in here and got Nightwing, you got Catwoman. It's like who's who of the bat family. And best of all, a lot of this...

Have to confess that I only skimmed the Prodigal storyline from this final volume. Once Bruce has reclaimed the title, I don't really care about Dick taking it for no good reason before Bruce actually commits. I didn't review the previous volumes so this review is going to be an overview of the whole three-volume collection of the Knightfall Saga. First off, it's too long. It's been collected in different forms including different things, but this collection of three 600+ page volumes is both wa...

Batman Vol. 3 : Knightsend collects the final chapter from this saga. It also collects the Prodigal storyline, which was a nice surprise. As before, writing duties of the key moments in this saga fell to Dixon, Moench and Alan Grant, aside form, surprisingly, Dennis O'Neil, who actually wrote the aptly titled climax. Again, it was mostly a cohesive and well planned out set of stories that connected with each other in a very cohesive manner. The arwork is also handled by mostly the same artists f...
