If you were reading DC comics in the early ’90s, you remember exactly where you were when it happened. Superman had just died, and before the comic book world could even process that, DC did the unthinkable to their other flagship hero: they let a roided-out mastermind named Bane snap Bruce Wayne’s spine like a dry twig.

It was the “Knightfall” saga, and for decades, fans have been begging for a faithful, sweeping adaptation. Sure, Christopher Nolan took pieces of it for The Dark Knight Rises, but the full, unhinged, multi-act story has never truly transitioned to the screen.

Until now.

DC Studios and Warner Bros. Animation just dropped a massive announcement: “Knightfall” is officially being adapted into a brand-new animated movie trilogy.
