Description

Christmas. St. Patrick's Day. Easter. As the calendar's days stack up, so do the bodies littered in the streets of Gotham City. A murderer is loose, killing only on holidays. The only man that can stop this fiend? The Dark Knight. In a mystery taking place during Batman's early days of crime fighting, Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the greatest Dark Knight stories ever told.

Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman's deadly enemy, Two-Face.The magnificent creative team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale reach their apex in Batman: The Long Halloween. This edition includes original 13-issue series as well as four additional story pages cut from the original series, which are presented fully colored and restored to their place in the story.  Also featured are sketches and an introduction by the director and writer of The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer.

Nicht umsonst eine der beliebtesten Batman Geschichten. Mir gefiel besonders, dass in Story und Illustration man als Leser teils im Dunkeln gelassen wird.

Ein sehr cooler Einblick in die Rogue Gallery von Batman, generell war die Story wirklich spannend, jedoch bin ich nicht der größte Fan vom Artstyle, jedoch muss das jeder selbst entscheiden. Ich kann es wirklich als Einstieg für Batman empfehlen (und ja der 2022 The Batman ist auf jeden Fall davon inspiriert in teilen).

So ein guter Comic mit unglaublich tollen Bildern! Wenn doch nur der „Holiday“ Killer Sinn ergeben würde… Dann wäre das hier ein deutlich runderes Ding :(

When a cat visits Italy... story: In the third part of Jeph Loeb's and Tim Sale's "Long Halloween"-series the story focuses on Selina Kyle aka Catwoman. Upon finding clues about her supposedly real parents Selina travels to Rome together with the Riddler to solve the puzzle of her heritage. All tracks lead her to the Falcone family. Time for the pussy to work her magic! But obstacles are blocking the path. Gotham is never forgotten with Joker poison and Mr. Freeze's gun in the hands of the Italians. What's going on in the mediterranian country? rating: With the new German edition of "Batman: Dark Victory" just around the corner I was more than excited to be able to read "When in Rome". The reader witnesses a less mysterious, more straight forward yet equally engaging adventure as "The Long Halloween". However with the Riddler around luckily there are more than enough puzzles waiting to be solved. Selina can be found in her natural role of feline fatale. Brave, focused, self-confident and sexy. I really liked the (obvious) hints towards her relationship with Batman and the flashback to "Batman: Year One". The villain gallery is huge and really diverse. Many great choices. I loved to see the Riddler return. Combine this intriguing story with the amazing art. Nothing of the charisma of "The Long Halloween" is lost here. Rome at night as never looked better and you gotta love the play with shadows. I really can't get enough of this art style. conclusion: I always wanted to go on a trip together with Catwoman. That's a beautiful and engaging dream coming true. 5/5
