 Written on August 15, 2008 Summary: Surprised!! I had never read this book before, but had heard somany good things about it. I picked it up and read the whole thing in one sitting. An excellent story on Batman taking on organized crime in the early part of his crime fighting carrer. I read this stoy in one sitting. A very enjoyable story. Interesting to note how the mob seems to feel threatened by the new breed of criminals starting to take over Gotham(like The Joker, Riddler, Poinson Ivy, and such). Or as The Mob call them "Freaks". I do recommend this book, as I myself really enjoyed it. Written on August 4, 2008 Summary: Harvey Dent, Tragic Character This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, and Gotham's DA Dent. That is of course until The Dark Knight came in theaters. However you can see where pieces of this story inspired the feature film. Written on August 1, 2008 Summary: Gangsters, more gangsters, and Batman What drew me to this book is that the all the characters were portrayed the way they were meant to be portrayed none of that fancy computer animation manga type artwork that I got sick of. The story was a classic detective story in which Batman looks for a Holiday Killer dubbed "Holiday" who is killing off gangsters on holidays. It is truly a detective story genre and as like previous reviewers mentioned it has the whole "Rogue Gallery" cast throughout the story and if your not a true die hard batman collector like myself the story is interesting because the killer is not who you expect at the end and yes there are gangsters and shootings. The origin tale of Two Face is intertwined in the story as well so that is an added bonus for many. Written on July 23, 2008 Summary: The Birth of Two-Face Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale penned a dark, noirish tale that sent the Dark Knight on a year-long crusade to stop the mob killing done by a villain known as Holiday. It features appearances by the most infamous characters in Batman's Rogues Gallery (Joker, Penquin, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Mad Hatter, as well as the unfamiliar to me Calendar Man). Catwoman appears to be connected to the killings in a big way. What drew me to the book (it WAS first published periodically beginning in 1995) was the portrayal of Harvey Dent. The rise and fall of the DA was surely the basis for the character's portrayal in the movie The Dark Knight. Written on July 21, 2008 Summary: Trick or treat Jeph Loeb's and Tim Sale's maxiseries about the origins of Two-Face and Batman's attempts to solve the identity of a mystery of serial killer named "Holiday," who kills people affiliated with a Gotham City crime family on the year's major holidays, was something of a revelation when it was brought off in 1996-97. Loeb and Sale had successfully added to the story and mood begun in Frank Miller's and Dave Mazzuchelli's wonderful BATMAN: YEAR ONE, but had somehow also managed to bring in the more colorful members of Batman's rogues gallery (the Joker, the Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter--even Solomon Grundy) into this very noirish and moody world, and somehow they all fit right in. The result is not only one of the most beloved Batman graphic novels ever, but it was also a major influence on Christopher Nolan's extremely successful 2008 movie THE DARK KNIGHT. (There's even a later fine sequel in Loeb's and Sale's later graphic novel BATMAN: DARK VICTORY.) Pay attention here particularly to Sale's moody compositions and to the stunning use of muted color: this is really film noir translated to the medium of comics in a manner even more successful than Frank Miller's over-the-top SIN CITY works. |
