Batman Batman is no longer live! This is a sticky slogan perfectly in this second volume of the saga génialissime Knightfall. Recall of facts. In Volume 1, after wearing Batman and exhausted both mentally and physically, we remain on a terrible picture: A Batman Agony, broken feet of a triumphant Bane. We waited impatiently while later. Done with this Volume 2 of this new saga in our green lands. In this Volume 2 we will see that even though Bruce Wayne is broken, another vigilante will take the Batman costume to defend Gotham. First thing, in general, the drawings are uneven throughout the volume. Honors for Graham Nolan (still fluid, as beautiful, as expressive), Jim Aparo or Bret Blevins (I adore the version of lEpouvantail). A little more trouble with Klaus Janson (too bad syndrome of what I does not like 90s) and Sal veluto (too much clutter). But the quality is dominant and it is a feast for the eyes again. The layout is ideal, the boxes pass before our eyes with perfect fluidity. The volume begins abruptly with Batman Bane throwing from the roof of a building, the ultimate humiliation for our hero. Chuck Dixon and Doug Moench have succeeded, they have depressed the infallible hero. But I remain on my flat in Volume 1, this is a work densemble Bane. He physically removed after washing Batman destroyed mentally. Could he have overcome the hero or the other without lun? The answer brought mest further. Once things senchaînent. Bruce is disabled, it is supported by Dr. Kinsolving, to whom he will confess his secret, and delivers the Batman costume and fate in the hands of Gotham Jean-Paul Valley. First negative point for me is destruction, mental weakness of Bruce Wayne is too short. We will see the terrorized, shot on a page, and virtually given a few pages later. Jaurais liked a more in depth work on the psychological side of this spanking. Perhaps I would see in the next volumes. Then we have a small interlude of three chapters lEpouvantail. Three very good chapters, served by very good drawings Bret Blevins, standing very well the folly of this villain. LEpouvantail trip is in his divinity, he wants to be worshiped as a god. Despite a very good plan he will find his way Batman Anarky, strange character who thinks the bad guys are there because Batman. Dalan Grant story is fun to read and shows the beginnings of the changes that John Paul wants to bring to the way Dagir of Batman. The main saga then resumed its course, and the psychological work we DONT was not on defeating Bruce, we wash on the evolution of John Paul, because very soon the only thing that will count in his eyes this is to surpass Bruce Wayne in the role of vigilante and this by paying no attention to the consequences. You end up with a Batman nhésitant not to cross the line to achieve its goal: to succeed where failed winds down Batman, Bane defeat. And I find there an answer to my question above. Bane is powerless facing a Batman in full possession of his means. Well I must admit that the Batman costume of John Paul's more like an armor of the zodiac knights with all its changes. Second negative point, defeat Bane is far too fast, it ny has almost no fighting. Although Bruce was weak mentally, Bane gave the impression BE an indestructible monster and there in no time he was defeated. The volume ends with the first two chapters of The Search Knightquest where we follow Bruce Wayne trying to find his doctor and Robin's father on the island of Santa Prisca with some members of the Justice League. Graphically means the beginning of the saga erases the disappointment of small taste of the end of Knightfall and we whets the appetite for the third book planned for February 1, already ^^ In short, a huge tome 2, so good reading, so writing quon has trouble quon realized just eaten 352 pages in just one day. The end of this saga is intense and subsequently sannonce great. Graphically it has not aged too. We davance saliva discover Knightquest. You end up with a new order. Bruce lives with her handicaps and leaves his side in search of his family leaving a new Batman to much harsher ways and very limited dune soccuper Gotham who may suffer from this new status quo. A volume 2 a step up from the first.
