After kicking off the show with the all-out cosmic chaos of World War Hulk and then going even bigger with The Death of Superman, Blaze and Zoey are back — and this week they're heading to Gotham City for one of DC's most legendary stories: Batman: Knightfall.It's the story where Batman doesn't just lose a fight — he loses everything. Bane, one of the most calculated villains ever written, engineers a mass breakout from Arkham Asylum, forcing an already exhausted Bruce Wayne to recapture dozens of dangerous criminals before taking on the monster who planned it all. The result? A broken Bat and a Gotham left to wonder if it will ever see its Dark Knight again.Blaze and Zoey dig into what makes Knightfall so enduring: the psychological warfare, the weight of legacy, Jean-Paul Valley's complicated run in the cowl, and what Bruce Wayne's comeback really means for who Batman is at his core.📚 SHOP THE STORIES: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
