This First Edition 1994 Novel is in Excellent condition!! Please note that there are 3 names written on the inside front cover...but all else is literally NM and unread! This does have the original dust jacket!
We learn of a child born in a prison, soon named Bane, who begins to take a hyper-steroid named Venom to increase his already awesome strength given by Scientists...he escapes and with 3 others goes to Gotham City...where he has heard about a mysterious Man-Bat who seems unstoppable!
Bane and his confederates raid a local Army depot, and use the pillaged weapons to free and arm the inmates of Arkham Asylum, who run amok in Gotham and Batman - true to Bane's predictions - insists on pursuing the inmates by himself, refusing help even from his new Robin, Tim Drake! Over the next week, Batman successfully recaptures most of the escapees, but severely overtaxes his mind and body doing so. At Alfred's repeated pleas, Batman finally allows assistance from Robin; further pleas persuade him to also enlist Jean-Paul Valley, a mysterious young man who had saved his life several years ago. Bane deduces Batman's civilian identity of Bruce Wayne. Subsequently, Bane invades Wayne Manor and lays an ambush for Batman. Already exhausted from his many battles (particularly a hunt for the Joker), the Dark Knight largely fails to defend himself against Bane, who beats him senseless and ultimately breaks his spine!!
Jean-Paul becomes the new Batman but is growing more and more unhinged, to the point of outright barring Robin from the Batcave. Indeed, the new Batman has become consumed by jealousy and bitterness towards his predecessor, especially after a recent failure to recapture serial killer Arnold "Abattoir" Etchison; when Bruce attempts to negotiate, he finds himself violently ejected from the Batcave! Things get heated and Valley is sent away.
Bruce and Tim reconvene and survey the aftereffects of the past year. Though Bane is still incarcerated, several of Arkham's inmates (including the Joker) remain at large; Jean-Paul has left for Europe, apparently in good health; Alfred remains unreachable; and Dr. Kinsolving, who helped nurse Bruce, while apparently incurable, has been given the finest caretakers money can buy!
