DC’s latest event, DC K.O., kicked off last month with a lethal first issue that took some of the publishers biggest names out of the fight. Today we’re getting a closer look at one of the event’s tie-in books, the first issue of DC K.O.: Knightfight from Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora.
”When you talk about an event like DC K.O., the assumption is always: ‘Batman’s going to win’” says Williamson. “So we wanted to subvert that expectation right away, by forcing him down a completely different path, into a tournament built just for him. It also showcases the true power of the Heart of Apokolips, how it can manipulate and reshape anyone who comes near it. That’s going to become a major factor as the event unfolds.”
The synopsis for Knightfight #1 teases the battle ahead of the Dark Knight:
