    Hopefully if this picks up we can make this into a new section dedicated to books This thread is to share books we have read, giving a synopsis, what we liked and/or didn't like. Myself took up reading for leisure only a couple years ago, prior to that, I honestly never read a book other then comics/graphic novels or text/educational books. Some of my favourite books of all time: Batman: Knightfall This book is about Batman and Bane. Bane is very cunning and powerful enemy of Batman. He makes it his goal to break and end Batman. The book is set in 3 sections. The defeat of Batman, The rise of a new Batman, and the return. Bane using his cunning and strength cripples Batman by 1st exhausting him mentally and physically to breaking point. Bruce realises Batman is needed in Gotham, a Gets a replacement, while travelling to follow up on a kidnapping. The new Batman however cares more for punishing the guilty then helping the innocent. The last section is Bruce returning, to have to face the Batman he left behind, who has forged the mantle of Batman to a new image. I loved this book because it explores the characters. Why is Batman the best, why is Bane a monster. That Batman above all else is a human. what i liked most of all was Bruce finally admits to himself he likes Violence, and dominating another in a fight, and how he relearns to be Batman. Overall, the book is an easy read, contains violence, blood, not a children's book, fast flowing story, not boring at any part. The climax of the book could be considered a let down, but on the other hand felt right. I would recommend this book to any fans of the Hero genre
