| Kurzbeschreibung: | | |  | | It is vastly refreshing when you find a Batman tale that is both epic and successfully explores the core of a resolutely explored character. Taking as its catalyst a sub-plot from the seminal Batman: Year One, the story revolves around murders occurring on national holidays, the victims connected to Mob boss "The Roman". Dubbed "Holiday", the killer uses an untraceable handgun and leaves small trinkets at the scene. Plenty of suspects are available, but the truth is something the Dark Knight never suspected. This series scores two major coups: it brilliantly portrays the transfer of Gotham rule to the supervillains and charts the horrific transformation of Harvey Dent from hardened D.A. to the psychotic Two-Face. Both orbit around the sharply portrayed relationship between Dent, Commissioner Gordon and Batman: a triumvirate of radically different perceptions of Justice. It is always great to see the formative incarnation of Batman, drenched in noir here. Loeb's writing is keenly aware that Batman is a detective and Tim Sale portrays a Gotham that is a fertile breeding ground for corruption and madness. Here, Batman is coming to terms with the potent image he projects and the madness it attracts. There are many fine Batman stories, but the ones that capture the spirit with extreme clarity are few. On this alone, The Long Halloween comes highly recommended. Masterfully executed, this is an excellent chance to revisit the world of Batman as fresh as in the summer of 1939. --Danny Graydon | | | | It's refreshing when you find a Batman story that both is epic and successfully explores the core of a resolutely explored character.

| | Wie mein Überschrift schon recht deutlich zeigt, genießt "Batman: The Long Halloween" in meinen Augen seinen Klassiker-Status zurecht. Selten habe ich Zeichnungen und eine Colorierung gesehen die mehr Atmosphäre erzeugt als in diesem Band. Die Bilder bringen die düster Film-Noir Atmosphäre einfach perfekt rüber!
Die Story in diesem Band zeigt Batman so wie er sein soll: Ein grimmiger Detektiv, der nicht viele Freunde hat und jedem misstraut. Obwohl die Geschichte ehre einem Krimi ähnelt werden auch Action-Freunde voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Jeph Loeb hat es wirklich geschafft Action und Spannung gleichermaßen in seiner Geschichte unterzubringen. Des Weitern hat die Geschichte ein wirkliches Star-Aufgebot an Schurken (Joker, Poison Ivy, Two-Face...) wodurch Einsteiger sich einen guten Überblick über Batmans Gegner verschaffen können.
Freunde von Krimi-Geschichten, die gerne eine ordentliche Portion Action und Spannung wollen, können hier genauso zugreifen, wie Fans des dunklen Ritters! Bei dieser Geschichte kommt jeder auf seine Kosten.
| | | Berühmtes Batman-Comic von 1997, das u. a. zeigt, wie der mutige Staatsanwalt Harvey Dent zu Two-Face wird. Die Zeichnungen sind detailarm, aber prägnant und scharf; wenige, kräftige, themenbezogene Farben unterstreichen eine dichte Story.
| | | Die Geschichte ist eine Art Kriminalroman, gesucht wird der Holiday Man, der nur an Feiertagen mordet. Batman, Harvey Dent und Commissioner Gordon verbünden sich zu diesem Zwecke und ermitteln gemeinsam.
Der Comicband ist mächtig, rund 370 Seiten, und im Großen und Ganzen spannend, besonders die letzten Kapitel über. Jedoch besitzt er auch seine Längen. Viele Handlungsstränge sind am Ende noch unbeantwortet, und auch wenn ich das normalerweise nichtmal schlecht finde, bei diesem Comic stört es ein wenig, weil man doch schon wissen will warum bestimme Personen hier und dort waren.
Der Zeichenstil ist geschmackssache, mir persönlich gefiel er nicht besonders. Alles ist sehr düster und farbarm, wohl angelehnt an Noir Filme.

| | Great story! Batman battles his usual nemesis along with a serial killer. Awesome story that shows Batman at his Detective roots, Harvey Dent as an upcoming lawyer, Catwoman as a seductive temptress, and Comissioner(sp?) Gordon as a Captain trying to save Gotham. This isn't a boring suspense type story either, there is plenty of action and a surprise at the end that will leave your mouth wide open.
| | Minimalistic format makes for interesting reading | |
| | Long after reading Batman:Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns, which are formidable in their own respects, I was fortunate to have stumbled across Batman as I always saw him in The Long Halloween. Whereas "Year One" and "Returns" rekindled a dying enthusiasm for Bats, "Halloween"'s minimal style in art and dialogue allowed me just enough information to let my imagination fill in some blanks. Characters are reduced to their basic shapes: the stocky rectangular Bruce Wayne, the aerodynamic, muscular Batman and Catwoman, the stick-like Joker and Scarecrow, and so on. Proportions are tweaked and played with to allow for some interesting encounters among the characters from the gigantic daughter of the Roman to Gotham itself as a flat black and blue backdrop for our story to unfold. While the character designs are sometimes too characature-ish especially among the villains there is a nice mysteriousness that is maintained throughout the story because of the outlandishness they convey. Don't look for mong diatribes from any one character as conversations are mainly one-or-two liners usually involving nasty confrontations. The repeated line:"Do what needs to be done" and variations of that display the self-rightousness that the characters evoke in their own vision for Gotham; that the obsessive mission of Jim Gordon and Batman are not too far off from the madness of Harvey Dent and Holiday is eerie, indeed. Dent is a tragic character in every sense. Its a shame that you never see the cynicism that he has for the Justice System save for a few freudian slips in the company of Gordon. That he is doused in the face with acid in mid-story by his star witness in the case of his career should be satisfactory enough, though. The story should be commended for weaving different members of Batman's Rogue's Gallery in the mix but it also makes for a couple of plot holes and even some uninteresting sidetracks. The Joker, the Mad Hatter, and the Scarecrow go on some pretty predictable escapades that seem to originate from an editor's memo reading "more action sequences!". Poison Ivy's seduction of Bruce Wayne is exception to these intrusions and you feel a chilly fall from grace as she arrogantly states that no man can resist her in their embrace. Falls from grace indeed are a theme rampant throughout the book from a mob king, to the D.A., to the reputation of Bruce Wayne. Despite its short-comings, it is still a well-composed retelling of Two-Face's origin as well as another good addition to anyone's Batman collection.
