I remember how I anticipated this issue for many moons. It didn't fail to deliver the excitement I hoped for. It had everything. Batman tried to appeal to Azrael, but he was too arrogant and full of himself to listen, forcing an evenly matched battle. And a gangster shooting at them from a helicopter above didn't help matters much. And present was Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin. Like I said this one has it all.
This issue is exciting from its first page to its last. I remember how good it was to see the real Batman in action again and the "Fraud" as I dubbed him at the time finally getting his. If you haven't read the Knightsend saga you're missing a lot, especially since this issue alone is just one of 10 exciting chapters.
