The next Batman movie from DC promises to be a thrilling continuation of the story begun in The Dark Knight Rises. DC is also planning a new animated film based on the classic 1993-1994 comic book storyline, Batman: Knightfall. This story is famous for showing Batman severely injured after a fight with Bane, forcing him to step aside and be replaced by a new vigilante named Azrael. Similar to how Superman was absent after The Death of Superman in 1992, Knightfall explores what happens when Batman is unable to protect Gotham.
DC Comics is planning to turn Knightfall into a series of films, similar to how they adapted The Dark Knight Returns and The Long Halloween. These stories are all considered some of the best Batman tales ever, and the previous movies were well-received, so fans have reason to be excited about this new adaptation. This will be DC’s first animated movie released since November 2024, and the first Batman animated film since March 2023.
Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Was Influenced by ‘Knightfall’
Warner Bros.
Whether you loved or hated Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, Tom Hardy’s performance as Bane was unforgettable. So many fans have tried to imitate his voice and mannerisms, which shows how different and interesting Nolan’s take on the trilogy was. However, Nolan’s version of Bane wasn’t very similar to the character in the comics, and the same could be said for the portrayal in Joel Schumacher’s Batman and Robin.
The image of Bane breaking Batman’s back is arguably the most iconic moment from this story, and it’s a scene Christopher Nolan famously used in his Dark Knight trilogy. Nolan clearly drew inspiration from this storyline, as he did with comics like Year One and The Dark Knight Returns, but this animated version promises to be a much more faithful adaptation. While James Gunn’s DC Universe might eventually give us a comic-accurate version of Bane, Batman: Knightfall seems like a great way to introduce the character to DC fans who aren’t regular comic readers.
As a Batman fan, I think Batman: Arkham Origins really nailed the character – it felt like stepping straight out of the comics. So, I’m really hoping Batman: Knightfall gives us a deep dive into one of Batman’s best villains. DC’s animated movies have been a bit inconsistent lately with the Tomorrowverse, but they’ve always delivered when it comes to Batman, and I have a good feeling this one will be another winner.
