Wayne is replaced as Batman by an apprentice named Jean- Paul Valley, who becomes increasingly violent and unstable, tarnishing Batman's reputation. Eventually, Wayne is healed through paranormal means, and reclaims his role as Batman. Additionally, Wayne realizes the peril and burden of attempting to work in solitude, leading to the eventual creation of the modern incarnation of the Batman family. The events of Knightfall also led to the resignation of Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. The entire . At the same time, the Superman team was planning for a similar character- altering storyline, and neither they nor the Batman group initially had any knowledge of each other's plans. The massive story was quickly collected into two volumes of trade paperbacks. Volume one was subtitled Broken Bat and the second Who Rules the Night. Knightfall was the first time that multiple Batman titles had shared a single narrative for an extended period since the Crisis on Infinite Earths. The stories were not treated as crossovers and the Batman titles continued as they had before . Instead of a crossover, . Nothing was truncated as the Batman editorial line made use of all of the Batman- related titles at their disposal, such as Catwoman, Robin and Legends of the Dark Knight (normally an anthology title with stories set in the past). This continued in later arcs such as . Batman begins to feel he has lost his edge, especially after his failure to capture Black Mask. He finds himself unable to meditate or even focus. As Bruce Wayne, he contacts holistic therapist Shondra Kinsolving for treatment. He also assigns Robin (Tim Drake) to train Jean- Paul Valley in detective work to aid them as an ally, hoping to guide Valley's brainwashing away from making him a villainous threat. Despite the advice of everyone in his life, including Dr. Kinsolving, Bruce refuses to rest, and continues to pursue his self- imposed duty despite his worsening condition. At the conclusion of this story, Bane and his henchman are shown monitoring Batman's performance. Bane begins a series of encounters letting Batman know of his presence and his intentions. In the following issues, Bane interferes with encounters pitting villains Killer Croc and Riddler against Batman, and, to test Batman's limits, goes so far as to inject Riddler with the Venom drug. This escalation culminates in an assault on Arkham Asylum in Batman #4. April 1. 99. 3), where Bane breaks the inmates free and supplies them with numerous weapons to escape. Meanwhile, Robin finds it difficult to work with Jean- Paul, due to the man's violent subconscious training and lack of social skills, and also finds himself being shut out from working alongside Batman. Aware that he would lose in a direct assault against Batman, Bane's plan consists of weakening Batman by forcing him to deal with the deadly villains simultaneously. Among the freed inmates, there are numerous high- profile villains, such as the Joker (who trapped Arkham's administrator Jeremiah Arkham), the Scarecrow, The Riddler, and Poison Ivy, as well as many less known villains, such as the Mad Hatter, The Ventriloquist, Firefly, Cavalier, The Film Freak, Mr. Zsasz, Cornelius Stirk, Abattoir, and Amygdala. The scenario creates a rift in the relationship between Robin and Batman, as Batman irrationally seeks to face the outbreak alone. A later flashback to this time period (Showcase '9. Batman pursuing Two- Face alone, being trapped and kidnapped to stand a mock trial; he is saved only by a rescue attempt from Robin. Over the next few issues, Batman becomes weaker and weaker as each criminal is put away. The rescue of Mayor Krol from the teaming of the Joker and Scarecrow pushes Batman to his mental and physical limits: a dose of Scarecrow's fear gas makes him relive the murder of Jason Todd, which he considers to be his greatest failure. After this encounter, Bane makes his move and attacks Batman at Wayne Manor, his home as his alter- ego. The fight between Bruce Wayne and Bane is detailed in Batman #4. By this time, Batman is so exhausted from the exertion of catching the escaped criminals that he cannot even defend himself; Bane beats him mercilessly before breaking Wayne's back over his knee inside the Batcave below the manor, symbolically .

Quick action by Robin and Alfred spares Batman's life, but at great cost - he is left a paraplegic. With Batman incapacitated, Bane assumes control of Gotham City's underworld and takes over several illegal operations within it. After his defeat, Bruce Wayne enlists the aid of Dr. Shondra Kinsolving to rehabilitate him and asks Jean- Paul Valley to take up the mantle of Batman so that Gotham has a protector. Tim Drake argues with Bruce to allow Dick Grayson (the former Robin and then- current Nightwing) to become Batman, as he is more experienced and mentally competent. Bruce replies that Grayson has his own responsibilities and would only take up the mantle of the Bat reluctantly. Indeed, Bruce gives Jean- Paul strict orders never to engage Bane in combat. Jean- Paul is shown to be a different, but not dangerous, Batman until an encounter with the Scarecrow, which results in Jean- Paul being infected by Scarecrow's fear gas and . Following this, Jean- Paul is unable to shake the influence of the System, giving in to it completely after his first defeat at Bane's hands, and being increasingly influenced by it during the rest of his tenure as Batman. Gradually, Jean- Paul alienates Robin with his paranoia and arrogance. In Batman #5. 00, Jean- Paul, in his new mechanical Batsuit (which is an amalgam of the Azrael costume with the Batman's) confronts Bane in an arduous battle and prevails, although many bystanders are put at risk. Jean- Paul leaves Bane broken mentally and physically, though he struggles with the choice of whether to simply kill Bane or hand him over to the police. He decides that he will let Bane go to Blackgate Prison. Jean- Paul continues to watch over Gotham after the fight, but grows increasingly unstable. Instead of a crossover with a definite ending, the publishers treated the scenario as though it were the new status quo, leaving it open- ended. Cover to Detective Comics #6. He becomes increasingly violent and mentally unbalanced. During this time, he drives Robin away because he believes Gotham to be so tough that only violence could answer its criminals. In several issues Robin is left horrified as Jean- Paul ferociously attacks common criminals, often with a weapon and sometimes nearly to death. This surge of violence from Gotham's defender puts pressure on Batman's relationship with Police Commissioner Gordon, who begins to distrust and even fear the new Batman and eventually comes to realize he is not the same man he has known. All of Jean- Paul's actions are compelled by . He repeatedly redesigns his Batman costume, adding more gadgets and lethal weapons, including metal claws, a laser, razor- sharp Batarangs and a flame- thrower. Eventually, he also adds a Bat- symbol, matching the one used for the series' logo. Valley becomes compelled by a desire to be a better Batman than Bruce Wayne, especially when he discovers his lack of interest in detective work caused him to make false assumptions about Catwoman (he thought she would sell a powerful nerve gas to terrorists when she merely wanted to dispose of it so it could not be used to hurt anyone). His questionable behavior climaxes when he encounters the serial killer. Abattoir, who is keeping an innocent prisoner in a secret torture chamber: Jean- Paul purposely lets Abattoir die, thereby condemning the prisoner to death as well. Other villains Jean- Paul faces include Mr. Freeze, the Trigger Twins, Joker, Gunbunny & Gunhawk, the Tally Man, and Clayface; the most notable encounters are with Catwoman and the Joker, both of whom could tell Valley was not the original Batman. Their investigation leads them to the Caribbean and then Great Britain. Kinsolving's brother- by- adoption Benedict Asp kidnapped her to use her special powers to kill people at a distance. Asp demonstrates this new form of mass murder on a small English village. When Bruce Wayne finds Kinsolving, he finds himself caught in the middle of a telekinetic tug- of- war between Asp and Kinsolving. The battle climaxes with her refocusing her energy to defeat Asp; as a side effect of the energy, Bruce's broken spine becomes healed. However, the drugs forced onto her by Asp, combined with the effects of the fight with Asp, reduce her mind to that of a child as Shondra's traumatised mind regresses to the past to escape her unhappy present, and Wayne reluctantly puts her into a mental institution. Bruce eventually leaves England to return home to a civilian life in Gotham, but Alfred remains in England, not wanting to see Bruce Wayne damage his body further. He does not return to Gotham until a while later, when Dick Grayson persuades him to do so in later issues. These visions tell Jean- Paul to avenge his father's death, and Jean- Paul searches Gotham for his father's killer. Though the killer, Carlton Le. Hah, had already been encountered and defeated (in Sword of Azrael), Jean- Paul's conditioning had warped his mind to the extent that he no longer remembered the incident. He eventually comes to believe that Penn Selkirk, a Gotham mobster turned weapons dealer who has taken over the remnants of Le. Hah's organization, is his father's murderer. Valley now spends his time doggedly pursuing him. Returning to Gotham, Bruce meets with Tim. Even though Jean- Paul disobeyed Bruce's order to refrain from attacking Bane, Bruce is sufficiently impressed with Jean- Paul's results.
