Batman: Dark Victory basically picks up where The Long Halloween left off. Gotham city is still being over run with the different crime families, when Arkham Asylum is broken into and lots of bad guys are set free, including two-face. Once again, this is very much a dark detective story. It wasn't nearly as predictable as The Long Halloween. The unfolding of the details happens at a good pace until the end when we are able to piece everything together. Though not a major portion of the story, my favorite part was the origin and introduction of Robin (Dick Grayson) into the Batman Universe. Even though as an adult I enjoying comic books for the first time, there is something still child like about them. (even though most of the content is mature) So to have a kid in the story, with a history very much mirroring Bruce Wayne, adds a new, interesting and fun element to the story. The art was on par The Long Halloween. But as far as the story was concerned, it was probably one of my favorite batman stories so far.
