Amazon.com Review:
It's refreshing when you find a Batman story that both is epic and successfully explores the core of a resolutely explored character. Taking as its catalyst a sub-plot from the seminal Batman: Year One, the story revolves around murders occurring on national holidays, the victims connected to Mob boss "The Roman." Dubbed "Holiday," the killer uses an untraceable handgun and leaves small trinkets at the scene. Plenty of suspects are available, but the truth is something the Dark Knight never suspected. This series scores two major coups: it brilliantly portrays the transfer of Gotham rule to the supervillains and charts the horrific transformation of Harvey Dent from hardened D.A. to the psychotic Two-Face. Both orbit around the sharply portrayed relationship between Dent, Commissioner Gordon, and Batman: a triumvirate of radically different perceptions of Justice. It is always great to see the formative incarnation of Batman, drenched in noir here.
Jeph Loeb's writing is keenly aware that Batman is a detective, and Tim Sale portrays a Gotham that is a fertile breeding ground for corruption and madness. Here, Batman is coming to terms with the potent image he projects and the madness it attracts. There are many fine Batman stories, but the ones that capture the spirit with extreme clarity are few. On this alone, The Long Halloween comes highly recommended. Masterfully executed, this is an excellent chance to revisit the world of Batman as fresh as in the summer of 1939. --Danny Graydon

- AmazingBatman Th Long Halloween is probably one of the best batman graphic novels I have ever read. I love the artwork. And the story line is brilliant especially the the fact that it includes Gotham's crime lords in the story.

- Review of Loeb's Long HalloweenIn my review of Frank Miller's 'Batman: Year One,' I longed for more material; I complained that the work was too short. Loeb's 'Long Halloween' is a perfect fulfillment of Miller's source work. It carries forward with the characters as they are revealed in the original work, and works especially to develop the personalities of the Gotham City crime families and Harvey Dent. It also features appearnces by a whole host of classic Gotham villains. Not to be missed.

- A most pleasuring detective novelThe way Loeb & Sale blended in the bas-fonds of Gotham's mafia with Bruce/Batman is so delightful that even the "clowns" just seem to fall in place and leave the stage in a natural way.

- Absolutely perfect!***It would be a good idea to have read Batman: Year One before reading this graphic novel.***
Batman: The Long Halloween is a master piece of literary and artistic craftsmanship from Jeph Loeb (Batman: Dark Victory, Batman: Hush, Superman/Batman Vol. 1: Public Enemies) and Tim Sale (Batman: Haunted Knight, Catwoman: When in Rome (Batman), Superman for All Seasons) that served as the inspiration for the 2008 billion-dollar-grossing box office blockbuster The Dark Knight.

- Wish I could rate at 3.5 stars.Batman: The Long Halloween is sort of a sequel to Batman: Year One by Frank Miller. It takes place not too long after that story ended. This graphic novel focuses more on Batman's battle with the mob than it does with other super-villains (though pretty much every super villain is in it... But more on that later). There is a killer dubbed the Holiday Killer who kills someone related to the mob boss every holiday. Not only does the Holiday Killer attract a team of Batman, Jim Gordon, and Harvey Dent, ...
