  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, &lt;strong&gt;Greg&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Leon&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Rahul&lt;/strong&gt; are joined by special guest &lt;strong&gt;Marvyn&lt;/strong&gt; For the fifth and final installment in our epic discussion and breakdown of  &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Presenting &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/KnightsEnd" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;“BATMAN: KNIGHTSEND” &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Following the events of &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;“KNIGHTQUEST: THE CRUSADE” &lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightquest" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;“KNIGHTQUEST: THE SEARCH” &lt;/a&gt;, Bruce Wayne has returned to Gotham. Alfred has gone. Jean-Paul valley’s campaign of terror and one knight, deepy violent crusade on crime has ravaged Gotham. The mansion is in a state of disrepair and Gotham has lost trust in her champion. The mantle of the Bat now resides in the iron claw of a zealous dark paladin who has appointed himself judge, jury and executioner. Bruce is determined to take back the mantle and correct his mistake, to restore the Batman, as a symbol to its former glory. But first he needs to regain his edge, before going toe to toe with Jean-Paul for the title! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now there really is just one arc here that closes out the battle and puts the mantle back where it belongs with Bruce Wayne. But following Knightfall the story is not truly over. It isn’t a tidy ending, which is why we chose to cover the fallout for true closure! This is collected in two subsequent chunks &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Prodigal" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;“BATAMAN: PRODIGAL” &lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Troika" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;“BATMAN: TROIKA” &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's all here. The thrilling conclusion to the &lt;a href="https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Batman:_Knightfall" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL&lt;/a&gt; SAGA and the fallout of these explosive events! &lt;/p&gt;
