Batman: The Long Halloween

I have recently read this comic book and I loved the mystery which kept you guessing and also the relationship between Harvey and his wife. But there was a lot of unnecessary sub plots and story. Joker was unnecessary and so was Poison Ivy as they didn't do anything to the storyline. I also think that the character of Flacone was not as good as I expected. But don't let what I just said now make you think that this book is rubbish - I had quite a good time with it. I just think that if the main story was the only focus and if some of the characters were left out then I think this would be a better graphic novel.

Apparently iconic and cool, but really just repetitive with a stupid twist and artwork that can't decide whether to be cartoony or realistic. i especially don't like the repeated lines throughout the book, like how characters are introduced again every time they show up. i think they were going for a symbolic thing, but it doesn't work. Decent story.

Harvey Dent's almost inevitable transition into Two-Face is such a visceral tale dragged out in a Noire feel. The artwork and mafia characters throughout add to that feel, and with the mystery of who the Holiday killer is makes for a suspenseful tale.
