I have picked up a number of Batman comics recently. The Long Halloween is the third one I have read. Like many reviews have said in the past, The Long Halloween is a HUGE influence on all of the Batman movies by Christopher Nolan. We see a relationship between Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Bruce Wayne. We see the torching of a large warehouse full of mobster money. We have the Joker and Carmine Falcone. We have the origin story of how Harvey Dent becomes Two-Face. There are a lot things going on in this story. It all revolves around a murder dubbed "Holiday" because they preform a high profile murder on holidays over an entire year. I the end you find out who actually did the killing and the answers may surprise you. This isn't a story about Batman beating people up but is a detective story. A who-done-it. There are plenty of hint to help you figure out who committed the murders. But in the end, is justice really served? Just like Batman: year one, the are was good, but not my style. And as for the story, it is a must read for a batman fan.
