Welcome back to another edition of Deciphering DC. With the
Dark Knight Rises all the rage all over the media, I think it’s high time I
gave the whole saga a comprehensive look. DC thought the same, and that is why
we saw a collection called Batman vs Bane, that collected for the first time
ever, Batman: Vengeance of Bane 1 and the miniseries Batman: Bane of the Demon.
Among other collections released were a reprint of Batman: Venom (see review
here), with the first appearance of the drug of the same name, which the
antagonist Bane uses and Batman: Birth of the Demon (see review here),
featuring the trilogy of graphic novels featuring Ra’s Al Ghul, probably a
major player in this enterprise as well. And finally, an expanded collection
featuring the Knightfall saga and tie ins.
