The following paragraph is extremely confusing and poorly worded:

"When they eventually all meet, Bruce, Jean-Paul, and Selkirk fight. The battle ends in the mobster's helicopter as Jean-Paul's grapnel gun locks one of the rotors and Catwoman knocks away a gun intended to kill Bruce and Jean-Paul. The helicopter crashes into the Gotham Narrows Bridge; coupled with fuel from the chopper mixing with Jean-Paul's flame-thrower, he falls into the Gotham River. Bruce and Catwoman save Selkirk and his aides just before the helicopter explodes from the leaking gasoline. When Bruce tries to find Jean-Paul using the Batmobile, it explodes. He realizes that Jean-Paul would have booby-trapped the car and escapes just in time. After the explosion, Nightwing fears Bruce dead and take his vengeance out on Jean-Paul on a party boat. The police arrive in time to prevent Nightwing's murder, but Jean-Paul escapes. However, to his shock, Jean-Paul finds Bruce waiting at Wayne Manor."

I think that someone who has read the comic should rephrase this so that it makes sense and flows logically.

Knightsaga

Knightsaga is a name so informal that I have never heard it or of it, despite reading comics and about comics for over 21 years.

Yes, where does this come from? --Chris Griswold 06:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, this article should simply be Batman: Knightfall or the Knightfall trilogy. --Destron Commander 10:51, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Drake

What happened to Jack Drake?--Chris Griswold 06:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He was boomerang'd - Neodammerung 22:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think he was kidnapped - MastertagUSA 14:39, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Factual error and rude comment

I believe someone has mangled the first sentence. It was bane that released the inmates not Paul and the rude comment has no basis in the comics or novel.

Also has anyone ever heard of this being made into a radio play? Steve — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reboot95 (talkcontribs) 03:14 July 3, 2006 (UTC)

I recall tapes being sold in bookstores, yes. --Chris Griswold 08:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have the radio show on cassette tape, it was broadcast on BBC Radio 1 here in the UK in short 5 or 10 minute segments. It's groovy. --Earthling2020 09:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, it was made a radio play. I think BBC produced it.

I know this is in the wrong place but I don't know how to use the talk feature but would like to improve the quality of this article so I am placing my contribution here. The following paragraph is extremely confusing and poorly worded:

"When they eventually all meet, Bruce, Jean-Paul, and Selkirk fight. The battle ends in the mobster's helicopter as Jean-Paul's grapnel gun locks one of the rotors and Catwoman knocks away a gun intended to kill Bruce and Jean-Paul. The helicopter crashes into the Gotham Narrows Bridge; coupled with fuel from the chopper mixing with Jean-Paul's flame-thrower, he falls into the Gotham River. Bruce and Catwoman save Selkirk and his aides just before the helicopter explodes from the leaking gasoline. When Bruce tries to find Jean-Paul using the Batmobile, it explodes. He realizes that Jean-Paul would have booby-trapped the car and escapes just in time. After the explosion, Nightwing fears Bruce dead and take his vengeance out on Jean-Paul on a party boat. The police arrive in time to prevent Nightwing's murder, but Jean-Paul escapes. However, to his shock, Jean-Paul finds Bruce waiting at Wayne Manor."

I think that someone who has read the comic should rephrase this so that it makes sense and flows logically.

Table of Chapters

Can somebody figure out how best to incorporate this table (which I've just typed up myself)? I think it's a lot more useful than the various ways this info is presented in the current article... -leigh (φθόγγος) 01:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did my best to include a full reading-order table without taking up too much space. (Gipperfish 10:50, 5 March 2007 (UTC))[reply]
Moved Catwoman #6 to "Knightquest: The Search" table as that is where is claims to appear on the cover. DigitalShepherd 22:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Good call--are there any other mis-placed issues? (Gipperfish 19:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Prodigal and Troika

Should we really add Prodigal and Troika? I thought this article was about Knightfall? I really think Prodigal and Troika are separate storylines that followed Knightfall. True, the comics had Bruce Wayne not coming too soon full time as Batman and we had to go the route of Prodigal. But to the public at large, Knightfall ended with KnightsEnd and the return of Bruce as Batman. Anyone? --Destron Commander 04:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While I agree that they are separate storylines, it remains that the events of Troika (new costume, etc) are reaction against what has transpired. So I think it is a good idea to have them both. --Bob Kroll
