Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

- Halloween is now my favorite holidayThis was my first graphic novel and I have to say that it was awesome! The story is great and Tim Sale's art is just as great. Every chapter gets more and more interesting as the book progresses. It's just really good.
Rating:
- Heir to Dark KnightFrank Miller might have all the kudos, but Jeff Loeb's story and the artwork by Sale in this graphic novel deserve a place in the Comic Book Hall of Fame. The story takes place shortly after Batman: Year One ends, and Gotham and Batman are still getting used to each other. Selena Kyle is featured prominently in this novel, and though Batman is the main character the driving force behind this story is Harvey Dent's war on crime.
I will be rereading this for years to come (not repeatedly, ... Read More

- The Best of the Loeb/Sale Graphic NovelsBatman Long Halloween is by far the best batman graphic novel from Loeb and Sale. Kept me on the edge the entire time and its one of those books you can pick up over and over. If you love batman, you'll for sure love this.

- My first graphic novel.A fantastic read, I wasn't sure which batman book I would read first but I eventually came to the conclusion that The Long Halloween was the choice for me. A great murder mystery with the villains of Batman you've come to known well.
Rating:
- There are better BattalesThis book's elevated stature among all of the Battales is perplexing. The story has many flaws. It is a very sparse script. There is nothing to it. Many pages have so few words on them that your focus and time is spent on turning pages moreso than actually reading them. The rogue cameos are pointless and add very little to the plot, especially Catwoman, who is seen hanging around throughout the entire story for no apparent reason, for which we don't find out the reason until the end of Dark Victory.
