Knightfall: The Mask of Tengu

Knightfall is a major Batman story arc published by DC Comics in the spring and summer of 1993. In Knightfall, Batman is crippled by the villain Bane. Wayne is replaced as Batman by Jean-Paul Valley, formerly known as Azrael, an unconsciously trained assassin for an ancient religious order.
As the new Batman, Valley has trouble reconciling his previous programming as Azrael with his new role as Gotham's protector. He becomes increasingly violent and unstable, tarnishing Batman's reputation.

Bruce Wayne realizes the error of handing over the Mantle of the Bat to Valley and decides to reclaim it. To rehabilitate his skills, Bruce asks the famed assassin Lady Shiva to retrain him. Shiva pits Bruce against several vengeful expert martial artists, making him don the Mask of the Tengu. In Japanese folklore, tengu were disruptive demons and harbingers of war.

DC Direct depicts Bruce Wayne's appearance as the Tengu with this 6" figure.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
