Bruce W @MovieBuff95 9 hrs ago In less than 80 minutes it achieves not only to develop it's characters, unfold a solid storyline loyal to its source but also peak into a violent, shocking climax that leaves you without words. The best from DC since DKR & easily within Top Ten ever. See more Jason T @RT38646107 1 day ago Batman: Knightfall Part 1 is a thrilling and intense Batman story with great action, strong characters, and a darker atmosphere. It raises the stakes for Batman while introducing a formidable new threat without losing what makes the character so compelling. The pacing is occasionally uneven, but overall, it’s an exciting and memorable read for both longtime Batman fans and newcomers. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera 5 days ago A brutal, dark adaptation that remains extremely faithful to the spirit of the iconic 90s comic book. The greatest strength of this first part is how it builds the physical and psychological breakdown of Bruce Wayne, who is exhausted from trying to contain the absolute chaos that has engulfed Gotham following the destruction of Arkham. Michael Mando delivers a genuinely terrifying and calculating Bane, and Studio Mirror’s animation shines with visceral action sequences, though the fluidity still leaves room for improvement. See more MB C @MB.Cinema 5 days ago When Bane arrives in Gotham, he sets out to break Batman by exhausting him physically and psychologically, unleashing Arkham’s most dangerous criminals while Bruce struggles to balance his responsibilities to Tim Drake and Jean-Paul Valley. This first chapter builds tension through a compelling portrayal of Batman’s stubborn determination and Bane’s strategic intelligence. The dark, gothic animation captures the atmosphere of the classic 1990s comics, while Michael Mando delivers an imposing voice performance as Bane. However, Jean-Paul Valley’s storyline feels underdeveloped, and some character backgrounds could use more room to breathe. Still, Knightfall – Part 1 lays a strong foundation for the larger story, exploring how Batman’s refusal to rely on others may become his greatest weakness.

I think the animation style should've been more "Teen Titans" vibe, to match with the shallow understanding of much deeper concepts and situations. Batman should not be relatable. Year One and Gotham Knight did better. No more "big eyes" Ben Affleck please. See more Mars A @CountMonteKristo Sep 27, 2026 This is my all time favorite storyline in Batman (and Odin knows, I read em all). While I absolutely loved and appreciated the Dark Knight rises... this... was next level. An outstanding animated rendition of the comics themselves. Beautiful, terrifying, heart wrenching, and much more. See more Read all reviews
