Batman - Knightfall Saga - what am I missing?

[hyped78]

I have collected some TPBs from Batman's Knightfall Saga but I know/ assume that I am missing some TPBs to complete it. I've been looking around to see what I'm missing but it's not that clear to me - does anyone know what TPBs I need to get to complete the saga?
Thanks!

There's:

Prodigal
Troika

Both however are OOP and seem to go for quite a bit

Technically there is also the "Batman: Zero Hour" TPB that fits in between Knightsend & Prodigal in terms of publication order but that does break up the matching spines

Thanks! I will try to find those two somewhere

Happy to help!

The reading order is:

Batman: Prelude to Knightfall
Batman: Knightfall Vol. 1
Batman: Knightfall Vol. 2
Batman: Knightquest - The Crusade Vol. 1
Batman: Knightquest - The Crusade Vol. 2
Batman: Knightquest - The Search
Batman: KnightsEnd
(Batman Zero Hour)
Batman: Prodigal
Batman: Troika

There's also an Azrael trade that I'd recommend. It's called Fallen Angel and introduces the character.

Gotcha. I am trying to find the TPBs here in the UK, not an easy task

I'm from the UK too and I know what you mean. My LCS closed during the first lockdown and I picked up loads of old Batman singles from them which inspired me to hunt down all the trades I'd missed to have a complete run from Year One to the present day. It took the best part of a year, but I managed to pick up loads of OOP TPB's at a decent price. Except for the Black Casebook, which cost me £40! Bizarrely, I found lots of deals on the Oxfam website and Eaglemoss print some stuff that's OOP in standard TPB's. I picked up Batman: Second Chances 1-2 from the Eaglemoss collection for £25, which is a lot better than the £100 the standard TPB goes for on Ebay!

To summarize above:

Azrael Vol. 1: Fallen Angel (which has Sword of Azrael which is, I think, important prelude to Knightfall, this trade also has later issues that take place right after KnightsEnd with SHOWCASE ’94 #10 and most of Azrael #1 & #2 (from 1995) are like the very end of the Knightfall Saga in my book (unless you count maybe Nightwing: Alfred's Return), despite not being officially regarded as such)
Batman: Prelude to Knightfall
Batman: Knightfall Vol. 1
Batman: Knightfall Vol. 2
Batman: Knightquest - The Crusade Vol. 1
Batman: Knightquest - The Crusade Vol. 2
Batman: Knightquest - The Search
Batman: KnightsEnd
(Batman Zero Hour)
Batman: Prodigal
Batman: Troika
