Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I recommend the book. Good buy!
I received the item perfectly and before I thought. And the prize was very cheap!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Long Halloween : Year One :: The Dark Knight : Batman Begins
The Dark Knight to Year One's Batman Begins, The Long Halloween tells not only the story of Harvey Dent, but also of Gotham's transition from organized crime to costumed "freaks" like Joker and Penguin. I enjoyed this a lot the first time I read it, but re-reading it after Year One makes it feel like a nice part of a larger story, and there are a lot of references to the first book I picked up on. More than that, though, Halloween stands well on its own; Year One finds itself co-opted by Nolan, but ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SUPERIOR TO DARK KNIGHT RETURNS IN EVERY WAY
After being somewhat underwhelmed by the supposed classic Dark Knight Returns I decided to check out the other most highly praised Batman tale. I have to admit, I was blown away. This is the perfect batman. Everything about this book was just perfect for Batman. Although this is not as good as the amazing watchmen, it is certainly on par. If you enjoy the recent batman movies this is sure to please you. It starts out somewhat slow but picks up considerably when we start getting more familiar with the ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is Batman at his finest!
This is without a doubt my favorite Batman story. Loeb & Sale throw so much action into this amazing mystery without any overkill. Fantastic from panel to panel. A+


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dont buy this!
This highly acclaimed book does actually start off strong as an exciting noirish Batman tale. Unfortunately it only gets worse and worse, concluding with a more than sub par ending. Terrible writing as usual from author Jeph Loeb, who's work as usual resembles terrible fan fiction rather than a professionallly written story. Avoid this and other works by Loeb.

For a really superb Batman story, look up Batman Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. Other excellent superhero works include, ... Read More
