Book Reviews of Batman: The Long Halloween

Book Review: This is a classic. Fact.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is, put simply, the very best comic book I have ever read. It is a welcome break from the more child oriented style of comic book writing, to a darker, more adult world. It is set before some major events, such as Bane and Robin. It is during the time of gangsters, which in itself is not that much different from other comics, but the style of writing is so gothic that it makes you feel asif you are standing there, in Gotham, in the gang war, watching Batman try to catch the crooks. This book is actually less action based than some of its more brash cousins, due to it's murder mystery style. There is a power oriented gang war going on, with a serial killer in the middle striking down certain members of each family. Each side is suspicious of the other, with each rolling onwards to the inevitable appocalypse, unless the killer is caught. Batman plays the detctive, but not in the old, cheery way. He never appears in the day except in his Bruce Wayne form, and at night he is the cities master. He makes a pact with Harvey Dent, the D.A. and trusted friend, and Commissioner Gordon, the only other man who he trusts in Gotham. The swear to bring down the serial killer, nick-named 'Holiday' because he kills only on holidays, at whatever cost. The book weaves the dramatic and tragic tale of Two-Face into its plot, as well as a little drama on the side between Batman and Catwoman. That pretty much covers everything, so theres only one thing more to do; repeat after me: I WILL BUY THIS BOOK. I WILL...
