AzBats vs Bane | Knightfall, Part 2: Who Rules The Night 

This video was amazing, my favorite part was the battle between bane and azbat. The music and tone fits the whole battle. I also liked when bane was bleeding and defeated, you looked back at the damage he caused to not only Bruce but the people who stuck with him. Great work as always!!!!

While DC did replace Bruce with Jean Paul they at least they had plans to bring Bruce back and simply did it to shake up the status quo for a bit. You hear that clone saga?!

R.I.P Jim Aparro. Salazar Knight what a batastic job you did. I'm looking foward to part 3 covering Knightsend the crusade and the search.

Jean-Paul’s Batman was an interesting parallel to Bruce in many ways. You’re right that his characterization often depended on the needs of the story, but I think he did have some interesting character moments while wearing the cape and cowl. Alan Grant’s issues seemed to be more sympathetic towards him than Dixon and Moench’s, from what I remember.

It's tragic that you content gets so little views

This is my favorite era of Batman ever. It needs to be a 2 part animated movie, or the plot of an entire series of television. So many iconic moments, and all of the characters are in their most iconic incarnations. Love the blue and gray costume, and I've been in love with the Azbats suit since I was a kid.

Azbat is the most aggressively 90’s thing ever… which hilariously was the entire point.

Jim Aparo was my favorite Batman artist of all time, there have been some mighty fine Batman artist through the ages but Jim always goes to the top of the list for me.

Surprised that they haven’t done an animated movie or series of this iconic comic book arc 🧐

I think that I never felt so satisfy since I read comics when Jean Paul Valley destroys Bane. Seeing Bane running away because he is scared. I think Knight fall is one of the best serie and most brutal and violent of Batman era in my opinion. Thanks for the video !

I deeply love Jean-Paul Valley as Batman: he was amoral, brutal and compassionless. But those traits are also the reason Valley never truly deserved the mantle, not only because neither he nor Bruce knew each other at all, but he was completely consumed by the very cult he belonged to. Like I told you in your video about Sword of Azrael, I deeply resent creators and executives are desperately trying to make Bruce behave more like Valley.

I think Azbats was probably the best replacement character that came out of these 90s DC's events, however, only because he becomes his own character afterwards.

One of my favorite differences between the comics and the Knightfall novelization by Denny O"neil is how Bane breaks Batman in front of 3 homeless people instead of the entire city. So when confronts the criminals underworld no one knows what he is talking about, Bane goes berserk and they let him take over anyways.

Wow! Knightfall was worth the wait. Y'know, I forgot the fight on the train car in Begins was inspired by Batman 500. "I won't save you" does kinda feel more like something AzBats would say, not Bruce.

Meant to say this on part 1, but my man over here earned his sub. Keep it up.

Amazing! Salazar Knight, you are a great artist. Thank you for your work and the time invested in your knowledge of Batman. You are the curator of the library of Batman's ecency. I wish you could continue with your channel in Spanish. "Arkham Komics"

I always thought of the Two-Face story as something that would've been okay on it's own, but it really interrupted the flow of things at the time that they showed it and that the main reason it was there might've been that they forgot to do anything with Two-Face in the story proper but that he also had escaped from Arkham. This video does provide another way of looking at it though.

Am i the only one who likes Jean Paul's Batman? The only thing i don't like about him is the lack of martial arts knowledge.

I actually prefer Azbats to the original Batman he was more brutal and effective

Image if Jason gotnhis hands on Azreal's bat suit

The only story that could rival this one is the Death and Return of Superman, especially the Reign of the Supermen storyline.

Bruce Wayne is Batman

Jean-Paul Valley as the New Batman draws paralellism with Ben Reilly as the new Spider-man during the Clone Saga. Both represent the violent period of the 90s. Futhermore, the fan backlash made both character change despite the original plan. In my case I believe the replacement was necessary for people to UNDERSTAND what they really liked about Batman. Futhermore, it provided a change of fresh air for the cape crusader in order to do not make him stale. PD: 8:12 I prefer BATZRAEL PD2: 1:52 This is Nocturna theme song for me after I watched your Bronze Bat video.

Bane got defeated too quickly, they should had given more time to prepare for the fight.

The bell is on, why am I seeing this a day late!? So HYPE!

I'm not sure if this was supposed to be coincidence or not, but I noticed you uploaded this video at 6:06 CTZ, and the closest to the number 666 (at least in time) is 6:06. Also, you got the picture of Bane from Detective Comics #666. I may be overthinking, but I just thought that was too much of a coincidence.

Azbats would be better received back then if his design was better. It just reeks of forced "coolness", with all the new flashy elements stacked on top of each other. He looked like an action figure at the end of toylines life, when usually gimmicks outweigh the proper design.

He is an athlete and he knows many forms of martial arts.

You're good with words

I guess I'm in the minority but I loved the JPV Batman (I find the term Azbats insulting). The costume was amazing (this version, the Knighrsend version less so) and the concept of the system was so cool (he could fight FYI this video and the Knightsend one both shortchange his combat abilities for some reason). I was disappointed in the direction Knightsend took him and was happy with the follow up series until the stupid human animal hybrid nonsense. I wish to this day to see the character and design return.

Jean Paul valley is a Martial artist

I noticed you skipped Birth Of The Demon (Ra's Al Ghul Origin), will you review that?

*His career ALMOST came to an end. Bruce eventually came back, defeating the delusional Azrael (Jean-Paul Valley) and takes back his mantle as the one true BATMAN. The Dark Knight of Gotham.

I have the whole volume of Azreal's time as batman. I did not enjoy it. I was looking for volume 1 where his back is broken or 3 when Bruce trains with Shiva regaining his skills.

Should do "Bane II", shows his aftermath and recovery from venom

you can't replace iconic characters, and its dumber to even try, it's like buying McDonald's franchise and changing the name, why would you do it lmao looking back this comic was trash, and Bane is a trash character. A boy born in a prison could never come up with a plan to beat Batman, he would be mentally underdeveloped, releasing all the criminals for Arkham was a good plot point but it was already done prior, and Bane figuring out who Batman is by seeing Bruce Wayne move is some of the laziest writing ever done. Batman getting into a fist fight with Bane on his own turf when he knows he is exhausted is something Batman wouldn't do, he has his entire arsenal in the batcave, and would've found some kind of way to neutralize him. Also Batman making a legit mental case his replacement is a decision he would never make and makes zero sense, especially since Jean Paul Valley was a relatively new character.

Parilized From his Neck Down Actually

Salazar Knight, could you cover Spider-Man in a similar fashion to Batman, or are you a DC guy only?

Could you do a video on all star batman abd robin?

Deathstroke would have Whooped his Ass. No matter the Gadgets and Armor and Misuse Of Weapons, Deathstroke Has Better.

Bane is my 3rd favorite character

I honestly think that Grayson should've filled in for Batman in Knightfall not Azrael but that's just me.

Man, first Jason Todd and now him.

We miss Jim Aparro.
