It's refreshing when you find a Batman story that both is 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 stанявхory 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 truбавяоth 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 DA 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, drencheбназяd in noir hereJeph 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 Авторы Джеф Лоеб Jeph Loeb Тим Сэйл Tim Sale. |
