Knightfall" is the title given to a major Batman story arc published by DC Comics that dominated Batman-related serial comic books in the spring and summer of 1993. "Knightfall" is also an umbrella title for the trilogy of storylines that ran from 1993 to 1994, consisting of "Knightfall", "Knightquest", and "KnightsEnd".[note 1] Collectively, they are unofficially known as the KnightSaga.

The story takes place over approximately six months. Bruce Wayne (Batman) suffers burnout and is systematically assaulted and crippled by a "super steroid"-enhanced genius named Bane. Wayne is replaced as Batman by an apprentice named Jean-Paul Valley, who becomes increasingly violent and unstable, tarnishing Batman's reputation. Eventually, Wayne is healed through paranormal means, and reclaims his role as Batman.

"Knightfall" resulted in long-term ramifications for the Batman mythos, as Batman's trust from the police, the public, and fellow superheroes had to be rebuilt. Additionally, Wayne realizes the peril and burden of attempting to work in solitude, leading to the eventual creation of the modern incarnation of the Batman family. The events of Knightfall also led to the resignation of Wayne's loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth.

The entire "Knightfall" storyline took over a year to complete in the comic book serials, and in later years, the comics were compressed into a series of trade paperbacks, although these paperbacks do not include the "Knightquest: The Search" portion of the story.

Publication[edit]

The initial idea for the character of Azrael stemmed from a two-part story idea pitched by Detective Comics writer Peter Milligan circa 1991, as he was leaving that position.[1][2] After line editor Dennis O'Neil decided to expand it into a larger epic, he and the Batman line writers Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and Alan Grant convened an authors' summit over a long weekend to flesh out the details and story points. At the same time, the Superman team was planning for a similar character-altering storyline, and neither they nor the Batman group initially had any knowledge of each other's plans.[2] Dennis O'Neil denies the Knightfall storyline was in any way inspired by the Death of Superman and states that it was already in development by as much as three years, saying that if the Batman staff had known, the storyline would likely have been pushed down a year.[3]

The serial stories of the monthly Batman comics titles began slowly building toward the "Knightfall" arc several months prior, in conjunction with the publication of the Sword of Azrael miniseries and Vengeance of Bane one-shot which also laid foundation for the larger story.

"Knightfall" ran from April to October 1993, Batman issues 492 through 500 and Detective Comics issues 659 through 666, with the two titles sharing a single narrative during this time. The massive story was quickly collected into two volumes of trade paperbacks. Volume one was subtitled Broken Bat and the second Who Rules the Night. Knightfall was the first time that multiple Batman titles had shared a single narrative for an extended period since the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

"Knightfall" was immediately followed by "Knightquest" in the monthly serials. "Knightquest" is divided into two storylines, one following Bruce Wayne ("Knightquest: The Search") and the other on the new Batman ("Knightquest: The Crusade"). The

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration, or simply respiration, is defined as an adenosine triphosphate(ATP) generating process in which molecules are oxidized and the final electron acceptor is (almost always) an inorganic molecule (Tortora, Funke & Case, 2013). The movement of an electron transport chains plays a very vital role in respiration. Respiration is classified in two categories.’ The first category is if an organism requires oxygen for growth and survival; this category is called aerobe. The second category…

Both of these are important to us on earth because each one has its own role in bringing us life but depending on each other in a way. Photosynthesis is a process known to be performed by plants and cellular respiration is performed by organisms who need to fulfill this requirement to be able to produce…

1 Introduction to cellular respiration and fermentation: Aerobic Cellular Respiration: is the process that extracts energy from food in the presence of oxygen. The energy is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. The ATP molecules are then used to supply energy directly to the cell for their energy-demanding activities. The equation bellow shows how glucose and oxygen are used to release ATP: C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O ∆G = -2870 KJ/mol Aerobic cellular respiration can be divided into…

The formula for this is Co2 + H2O. Which are then releases the electrons and creates energy. Food materials are oxidized and energy (glucose) is stored in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds. Carbon dioxide (Co2) and water (H2O) vapor are released as a by-product. In contrast to photosynthesis, respiration occurs in…

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respirations The processes that support living organisms revolve around an intricate combination of exchanges on the cellular level. These exchanges known as photosynthesis and cellular respiration individually and collectively support the process called life by producing energy. Careful examination of the activities occurring at the cellular level in these processes reveals a kind of “subset” of tasks that explain the methodical order of events necessary to sustain a…

Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration As living things we all need energy to function and we get it from all food we eat. Cells get the energy from stored food through cellular respiration, an easy way for them to get ATP. ATP is an energy molecule. There are three phases of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. Phases #1: Glycolysis Glycolysis is the phase where sugar (glucose) is split into two molecule of a three carbon…

Cellular respiration can be defined as the set of reactions that take place inside a cell to convert energy from nutrients into the high-energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), this energy is used to fuel all the activities of the cell, with the release of waste products (Biology Online Dictionary , 2010). Energy can be defined as the ability to do work; cellular respiration provides energy to do this work in living organisms. Cellular respiration is important as it allows all organisms to…

It was hypothesized that as temperature increases, the rate of respiration will increase as well. Data in this experiment does not support it fully. As the temperature increased from 0°Celsius to 20°Celsius to 43°Celsius, the rate of respiration increased as well (Figure 4). However, at 74°Celsius, the rate of respiration was at the lowest (Figure 4). Cellular respiration may increase as temperatures increases up to a limit. At 74°Celsius, the temperature may have been too high for the enzymes…
