Knight Watchman (AKA: Reid Randall) is a fictional superhero from the Big Bang Comics universe, residing on Earth A during the Silver Age of comics. He first appeared in Berzerker #1 (February 1993), and was created by writer/artist Chris Ecker.

In the fictional history of Big Bang Comics, his first appearance was in Deductive Comics.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Knight Watchman is based in Midway City (not to be confused with the city featured in Doom Patrol), where he fought crime for fifty years while maintaining a career as a fashion designer.

As time went on, he became more of an anti-hero the same way Batman had become. By the time Big Bang Comics had entered the modern day (the 1990's), Knight Watchman was reluctant to come out of retirement despite attempts by Ultiman to place Randall back in the cape.

Reid's nephew, Jerry Randall, became Knight Watchman's sidekick, Kid Galahad. As he grew up Jerry went on to become a hero in his own right as Galahad (a reference to Dick Grayson's career as Robin and Nightwing.)

Although in comics continuity, Knight Watchman exists in Earth-A (Silver Age), Knight Watchman appeared alongside the Earth-B Golden Age heroes in the TV movie, Knights of Justice.
