Book Reviews of Batman: Dark Victory
Book Review: Depth and loss
Summary: 4 Stars
Depth of character drives this story. See Batman dealing with loss of his friend Harvey Dent. A young Dick Grayson dealing with the loss of his parents and seeking strength.
Jeff Loeb's storytelling is as good as ever, and Tim Sale's Artwork is unique and engaging as ever. The Heavy dark shading and washed colors convey the grit and gloom of Gotham perfectly.
Book Review: Surpasses the first story
Summary: 5 Stars
Batman: Long Halloween was one of the best Batman stories I've ever read. When I saw Dark Victory was the sequel, I bought it out of curiosity, but didn't expect much. Was I ever wrong! Dark Victory perfectly picks up where Long Halloween left off, giving us yet another mystery serial killer (this time named The Hangman, for obvious reasons) that strikes on holidays. As in the first story, all signs point to Harvey Dent as the killer, but is he really? The introduction of Robin is a nice touch, but he really doesn't show up until the story's almost over.
The final reveal of the Hangman's identity really caught me off guard. While I guessed who Holiday was early into Long Halloween, I was never certain about the Hangman (and in the end, my guess was wrong). The buildup throws so many red herrings at you it keeps you reeling.
I loved this story and would love to see the next chapter in this storyline. Hopefully someday Jeph Loeb will give us another maxi-series like this.
Book Review: Meh
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved long halloween and i was very interested to pick up where the story left off, but this was pretty much a lame version of the long halloween. i definitely do not think this was worth any hype. if you enjoyed long halloween, read this, its a nice continuation, but remember where you came from. Book Review: another great addition to the Batman legend
Summary: 5 Stars
Dark Victory is basically Jeph Loeb's sequel to The Long Halloween. The tone and artwork are the same. THe story is close, really more of a continuation of the Harvey Dent story and Batman's early years. And, Loeb (re)introduces Robin.Book Review: Even Better than The Long Halloween
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is even better than its predecessor. I have never seen a book that presents such a great Boy Wonder and there will probably be a better Boy Wonder.
Recommended for all comic fans great or small.
