Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
I have heard that these three books are a kind of trilogy. BotD prequels legacy, and legacy orequels contagion. Is it some tpb that collects this books together?
There was a recent TPB called Batman vs Bane that collects Bane of the Demon,and the Bane one shot,I think it collects Tec 700 and 701 but those are only a part of the entire story line,to my knowledge Contagion and the rest of Legacy have never been collected. I personally consider the Brother Hood of the Bat/League of Batmen Elseworlds to be a part of that collection as well.
They lead into one another but aren't collected into a trilogy or anything. You'll have to buy all three of them separately, and then contagion leads into cataclysm which leads into No Mans Land and so forth.
Unfortunately Troika has never been collected into a trade, but jb681131 is right, That would be the actual running order. Some of the trades however omit some issues, such as a dozen or so issues missing from the No Mans Land TPB's, and as large as all three of the reissues 'Knightfall' books are, they are still missing many issues, namely parts of 'The Search,' which is kind of annoying because you don't get a full idea of how Bruce all of a sudden heals himself.
@azrael_online: Unless you are French like me. We have the full Knightfall saga in 5 HC, a deluxe Prodigal that includes Troika, a fat Contagion HC and No man's land in 6 books.

The exclusion of The Search from the latest release of the saga was infuriating. Makes zero sense and breaks up the reading order. Bruce doesn't show up for ages and then suddenly he's there at the end with his back healed, his therapist disappeared into oblivion, and Tim Drake's father saved. Terrible, just terrible.

Very true. I would have preferred that they kept The Search in and just made separate trades for Prodigal and Troika. I know they like to think that Prodigal is part of the whole Knightsaga, but it's not. It's Dick's turn to take the mantle so it should have been treated as a separate arc as it is. Troika should have been included in that big Kelley Jones trade, it would have made more sense.
