113: ACE COMICALS PRESENTS- BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL PART V

Author: Greg Driver June 16, 2021 Duration: 2:39:49

In this episode, Greg, Leon and Rahul are joined by special guest Marvyn For the fifth and final installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL.

Presenting “BATMAN: KNIGHTSEND”

Following the events of “KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” and “KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” , Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Alfred has gone. Jean-Paul valley’s campaign of terror and one knight, deepy violent crusade on crime has ravaged Gotham. The mansion is in a state of disrepair and Gotham has lost trust in her champion. The mantle of the Bat now resides in the iron claw of a zealous dark paladin who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Bruce is determined to take back the mantle and correct his mistake, to restore the Batman, as a symbol to its former glory. But first he needs to regain his edge, before going toe to toe with Jean-Paul for the title!

Now there really is just one arc here that closes out the battle and puts the mantle back where it belongs with Bruce Wayne. But following Knightfall the story is not truly over. It isn’t a tidy ending, which is why we chose to cover the fallout for true closure! This is collected in two subsequent chunks “BATAMAN: PRODIGAL” and “BATMAN: TROIKA”

It's all here. The thrilling conclusion to the BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL SAGA and the fallout of these explosive events!

Hosted by Greg Driver, Ace Comicals is a fortnightly conversation that digs into the vast, colourful world of sequential art. Alongside co-hosts Leon and Rahul, Greg explores everything from mainstream monthly issues and graphic novels to the more obscure corners of the medium-think newspaper strips, film adaptations, and even those spontaneous stories doodled on napkins. The discussion is driven by a genuine enthusiasm for how art and text combine to tell stories, offering insights that are as thoughtful as they are passionate. This isn't a dry critique; it's the sound of friends dissecting what they love, with all the tangents and deep dives that come naturally. The entire podcast benefits from the distinctive visual flair of artist Anthony Smith, who provides the logos and artwork. Whether you're a lifelong collector or just curious about the form, each episode feels like pulling up a chair at a lively chat where the only rule is a shared appreciation for the craft. You'll come away with new perspectives on familiar works and a list of titles you might have otherwise missed.
