I'm definitely not. I've already bought this story twice and 150 is definitely steep for Knightfall part 1 with thinner pages. I mean, it's just Knightfall. Part 1! Damn, DC. Here's where I definitely slow down with jumping on new omnibus editions. This is just greedy.

@balkthor 9 ай бұрын

They had a chance to get the spines to match the other two books. Nope. Come on, DC. Maybe if/when the next 2 volumes get reprints they'll match this one, but that seems unlikely.

@MatchesMalone98 9 ай бұрын

Probably so people with the other volumes wouldn't just buy the new volume 1 so they'd match. I assume they'll reprint with this new spine in the hopes people will buy them all so they match

I realized Santa Prisca is such a fascinating place. Bane was born here, and Question had his adventure here too. It has the potential to be DC's Madripool. Shame they never bother to explore the possibility.

@ervingarcia874 9 ай бұрын

I swear, Batman not calling Nightwing to defeat Bane was very, very dumb and it has no justification whatsoever. I mean, Jean Paul Valley is a guy he just met, and he knows Dick Grayson for ages!. And I always wonder, what if Batman wasn't tired and sick before fighting Bane ? Would he had beat him at that moment ?

@jedibateman9452 9 ай бұрын

Maybe that's why. He knew dick couldn't beat him and didn't want to put him in danger. Batmans overprotective is one of the reasons dick left

Thats what the story implies. That Bane needed to weaken Batman significantly to beat him.

Here's my best attempt at giving you answers: 1.) They didn't include Sons of Azreal because this is a reprint. DC sends the same exact file to the printer. Easy-peesy. And... 2.) They cover art they already paid for. It isn't ugly. That's your opinion. Sorry you don't like it. DC would have to pay for new art, for this and two other volumes. They're not going to do that. Hope it helps.

Asked twice during the recent lives stream if you knew whether these were getting a reprint (new collector and its one of the stories that have drawn my instant attention). Thankfully hopped on someone else's video and found Vol 1 was reprinted recently so managed to find a random site with two copies left to be able to order from 🤞 hopefully turns up in decent condition. Praying they reprint the second two volumes to accompany this, as I've heard how rare they can be to get hold of, especially the third

I love Knightfall. It shows Batman as a man, who can be broken, and rise again. It shows that not just anyone can be Batman. If the wrong guy wears the cowl, he won't be able to handle it. The cons are that it is too long in the second act. Bruce's recovery may seem a little too comic booky. The choice of his successor is a little weird. I know the first printing had some binding issues. Even when I picked one of the original omnis up at an lcs, the binding seemed very unstable. I love this story. Hope this helps!
