"I broke him. I made Gotham kneel" - Batman: Knightfall
Since we had the death of Superman, we can't fail to mention the second milestone in DC history.
A series that tells the story of Bane's quest to bring down the Dark Knight and take over Gotham.
Bruce Wayne in a situation where he cannot continue his mission, his successor Azrael, and many other plot threads have become permanent fixtures in comic book history, and the scenes of Bane's fight with Batman in the Batcave have become iconic.
A story I devoured right after it was published in Poland, and for a long time, I waited for some resolution, because how could Gotham exist without Batman?
The fall of Batman shook Gotham, but also its readers – let's see now what others think about this story:
“
One of the most important Batman stories ever created. Bane as an antagonist is terrifyingly consistent, and Batman's fall is depicted in a truly powerful and memorable way. It reads like a true comic book epic about the limits of heroism.

Knightfall is a DC classic and one of the comics that best shows that Batman is only human. The story with Bane, the appearance of Azrael, and the atmosphere of Gotham plunged into chaos make a huge impression even after all these years. A must-read for Batman fans.

A great, epic tale of a legend's downfall. The moment Bane breaks Batman is one of the most iconic scenes in comic book history. The entire saga is gripping and shows Gotham from a completely different, darker side.

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Nest of Tables – What Are They, Who Are They For and How to Style Them
Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.
