Bane, the man destined to one day destroy the Batman, has his sights set on taking over Gotham City! The event that changed Batman's world forever kicks off with this new volume, including never-before-collected material, in BATMAN: PRELUDE TO KNIGHTFALL.
Bane has spent a lifetime on the South American island of Santa Prisca. The time he spent as the toughest inmate in their worst prison led him to develop berserker strength, savage intellect and unparalleled megalomania. In Gotham City, Batman begins to feel he has lost his edge as he is forced to deal, in rapid succession, with the returning villain Black Mask and his gang, a crazed killer called Metalhead and a sharpshooter assassin hired by an imprisoned mobster to murder Commissioner Gordon.
Part of a massive 25th anniversary recut of the entire BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL saga, this graphic novel collects BATMAN: VENGEANCE OF BANE #1, BATMAN #484-491 and DETECTIVE COMICS #654-658.
Chuck Dixon's résumé includes thousands of scripts for iconic characters like Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Iron Man, the Punisher, The Simpsons, Spongebob Squarepants, GI Joe and many others. He is (along with artist Graham Nolan) the creator of the Batman villain Bane, the first permanent addition to the Dark Knight's rogues gallery in 40 years and for which he won 1993's Wizard Fan Award for best new character. His graphic novel adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is a perennial bestseller worldwide. His unprecedented 100-issue run on DC Comics, Robin is considered to be a classic in the comics medium. Chuck's contributions to Marvel Comics' The Punisher are widely acknowledged as integral to that character's development.
