A good, self-contained Batman narrative which features plenty of the usual suspects. The art was decent, but I thought the writing particularly good. The story centers around a new villain called Holiday, but is also a heartfelt retelling of Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face. ( ) Batman: The Long Halloween (2011) by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. Christopher Nolan, while preparing for his Batman trilogy, was heavily influenced by Batman: Year One and this book. You can feel traces of Jim Gordon and Harvey Dent, not to mention more than a little of Catwoman, pulled from these books and strewn throughout the Nolan’s movies. The very feel of the one echoes the other so well. But this book should doff it’s hat at the same extent to Mario Puzo’s The Godfather as well as the brilliant movies made from the novel. No matter, what happens in The Long Halloween is a far different story than what came before. Here is Batman pitched against some of Arkham’s worst prisoners. The Joker is free about town and is looking for the serial killer the papers have dubbed “Holiday.” The murders begin on Oct. 31 and continue to occur on the following holidays. This is a dark tale, crammed full with mob bosses and hit men, revenge, insanity, most of Batman’s worst enemies, and more than one surprise. While the story covers a long period of time, the urgency of the hunt for the killer only intensifies. And we can see both Gordon and Dent as they prepare for insertion within the Chris Nolan world of The Bat. For fans of The Dark Knight or newcomers alike, this is yet another great adventure for the World’s Greatest Detective. Do you love Batman? Are you a fan of the "Detective Comics"? Do you enjoy a good mystery novel? Would you like to know more about Harvey Dent and his alter ego? If you answered yes to most of those questions, stop wasting your time reading this review and go pick up a copy of the book. You won't be sorry.
Still need a little more convincing? [b:Batman: The Long Halloween|106069|Batman The Long Halloween|Jeph Loeb|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350137101s/106069.jpg|680248] is, for me, one of the "must read" Batman graphic novels. It has a classic storyline that will appeal to fans both new and old alike. If you're a new fan, I'm going to assume that is mostly, in part, due to Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Good news for you, this particular graphic novel was one of the biggest inspirations for The Dark Knight. (The edition I own even includes an interview with Christopher Nolan and David Goyer discussing that very point.) If you're looking for a place to begin your descent into Batman comics, I would recommend you start with [a:Frank Miller|15085|Frank Miller|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1335457016p2/15085.jpg]'s [b:Batman: Year One|59980|Batman Year One|Frank Miller|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327940389s/59980.jpg|2501570] just to familiarize yourself with his origin story and the darker version of Batman he introduced. That being said, if you've never read a Batman comic before The Long Halloween won't give you any trouble. It offers up a classic Batman detective story spanned across 300 plus pages that is sprinkled with appearances from Batman's long cast of villains and allies. If you're not new to the world of the caped crusader and just haven't gotten around to reading this, what have you been doing? I highly recommend that you put this one high on your "to-read" list. Now to get along to my actual review. The story is enthralling and keeps you second guessing yourself until the very end. The artwork is not my favorite, but even saying that I acknowledge that it fits the story very well. It isn't polished like the art in many of the newer comics, but then again Batman has never really been a clean lines kind of guy. Please do yourself a favor and go pick up a copy so that you can rejoice in the kickassery that is Batman. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
