Mark October 26th on your calendars, because you’re going to want to add this book to your collection. Yes, this is a Batman and Two-Face story, but the supporting cast is vital and the antagonist essential. The choice of villain is inspired and the way he’s written is a revelation. My favorite part of this book is the way it answers all the questions left hanging but in a way that doesn’t make them the main focus of the plot… if anything they’re the catalyst for what actually happens.
I’m delighted to say that, in my humble opinion, this book lives up to expectations, silenced my doubts, and left me a very happy reader. The other qualm I had was, would this be as good as Batman: Year One – the book that started it all – the original Long Halloween, or its wonderful sequels Batman: Dark Victory, or Catwoman: When In Rome? The tale spawned two sequels (2011’s “ Pieces” is more of a tribute than a bonafide sequel, and it’s also by a completely different creative team), and this year saw the release of two excellent animated adaptations.Įveryone at Dark Knight News jumped for joy when DC Comics announced this 48 page, prestige format special back in July, but even so, I wondered what the story could be about, and asked myself whether it would finally answer the questions that left many fans bewildered at the end of the original series. The original Long Halloween is one of the most loved Batman stories of all time and is as brilliant today as it’s always been. It’s hard to believe that this week’s release, Batman: The Long Halloween Special, is the follow-up to a story that celebrates the 25th anniversary of its release this year.
