Key quotes

· 3 pulled
'Knightfall,' like 'The Death of Superman' (which was published around the same time), left a lasting impression not only on readers from the era but on the entire superhero genre.
It was a comic book 'event,' meant to capture the imagination of die-hard fans and casual readers alike through a bold shake-up of the status quo.
In 1993 and 1994, a comic book arc played out in the pages of 'Batman' that absolutely riveted comic book readers and casual superhero fans alike — one that brought the Caped Crusader to his knees and reset the established continuity of the character.
