    Question Knightfall New Edition

    Hey guys I just wanted to confirm with you guys something. According to the solicits for the new edition of Knigthfall it says it will reprint certain issues in the solicits:

    http://www.dccomics.com/dcu/graphic_novels/?gn=21246 Solicit from DC's site

    And then here on Wikipedia under the comics spanning the entire story arc it doesn't synch up with what the solicits say. Heck it mixes and matches issues between Broken Bat and Who rules the night where it doesn't seem to follow a logical pattern to it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knightf..._release_dates

    For example the solicits promises like ten issues of Batman but only two issues of 'Tec?

    Well I'm glad it has Vengeance of Bane.

    No surprise there, considering Dark Knight Rises.

    I'd love to see the whole Knightfall story get an omnibus treatment.

    It's one of the most deserving mega-arcs out there, and it falls in that awkward period where DC wasn't collecting everything in trade but the stories are confusing as released. I mean, if you skip from Knightfall to Knightsend you lose all perspective as to where Jean Paul Valley and Bruce Wayne are at this point.

    And there's something really cool and unique about a Bruce Wayne story where his physicality is taken off the table. Knightquest: The Search emphasizes Bruce's wit and determination in a way few stories do.

    So can anyone collaborate if the majority of the issues listed on the solicits are before Knightfall proper? Reason I want confirmation is because I am planning on pre-ordering from Amazon along with vol.2 which hasn't had its solicits published as of yet and what to be certain they don't cut out issues from the original trades.

    The issues listed in the solicit have to be a typo. No way they would include all the batman issues but leave out most of the detective issues. That just doesn't make sense. Basically, the new trade will contain the contents of the two original trades, plus vengeance of bane.

    Yeah, I agree, there's no reason to leave out those issues. Granted, Bane appeared more in Batman than in Detective during the first part of the arc, but he was still a prominent part of the story.

    Its likely a misprint.

    It will likely just be a giant book that combines Broken Bat and Who Rules the Night and Vengeance of Bane. It would have been better if it also included some of the issues leading up to Knightfall.

    this! I am really interested in this trade and everything around it including Bane. Just really don't want to go online or various booths at wondercon this year to try to put it together nor do I know what all I need to get the whole treatment.

    It's a shame the stories are so poor.
