Only a few days after the release of Batman: Knightfall Part 1, Warner Bros. had the second trailer for Batman Knightfall Part 2: Knightquest ready to go, showing off Azrael taking on the mantle of Batman. The first animated film took us through the character's origin story and told the original story of how Bane not only came to Gotham but also put down the Dark Knight in an epic battle for the ages. With Bruce broken, he makes one of the hardest decisions possible, passing on both Dick Grayson and Tim Drake to make Jean-Paul Valley the temporary Batman II.

Azreal Takes on The Mantle

For those who know the story to come, you'll know this is a major turning point for Gotham in many ways, affecting the characters and the city to its core for years to come. Well, until No Man's Land takes place, but that catastrophe is for another day. This is the piece of Knightfall that really got a lot of '90s kids back into the Batman comics, which is saying something, since the films and animated shows were already doing an amazing job of making Batman iconic in pop culture. Not to mention serving as an influence on many comic book writers and artists to come. Enjoy the trailer as we're still waiting on an official release date for the film.
