To this day Knightfall saga has been one of my favourites, so a reread of the 2012 collector edition was welcome and it didnt dissappoint. In fact i enjoyed many things i missed in my first read . Most notably the parallels to Oracle and Bruce's scenario.
What works is the story , something thats told in a slow and steady pace and is well thoughtout , something comic book authors dont seem to do these days , plus it introduces Bane in bat verse , who's not just brain nor brawn , not filled with greed or crazed like a maniac , he is one and all.
What doesnt work is Jun Luc as the next Batman, but i guess they needed him to ensure an eventual return of Bruce as Bats

I really enjoyed this comic book. This comic reminded me of why I love Batman as a character, and why I enjoy comics in general. I also loved the art in this, 12 different artists and none of the art was ugly to look at; there's nothing worse than trying to read a comic and the art is abysmal

This is some brilliant stuff, my goodness. It's perfectly paced (at the ferocious pace that it has) and is entertaining and tense throughout. I read through this in no time.

Really tows the line between edgelord nonsense and goofiness, but in a way that's annoying and uninteresting rather than fun and engaging

That ending. That lead up to an iconic moment. Chills, watching the broken bat become physically broken, damn, worth the hype.
