The Comics Canon

Episode 156 – Batman: The Long Halloween


Listen Later

Our Batman two-parter concludes with a discussion of Batman: The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, published by DC Comics! This popular miniseries serves as a de facto sequel to Batman: Year One, despite marked differences in size, tone and style, as a serial killer known as Holiday terrorizes Gotham City's underworld over the course of a tumultuous year, providing the backdrop for a shift in the city's criminal power balance from organized crime toward garish supervillains like the Joker, Scarecrow and Poison Ivy.

Can District Attorney Harvey Dent bring down Carmine "The Roman" Falcone with his sanity intact? (Spoiler alert: No.) And can this influential tale survive a night in that haunted house of crime capers known as ... The Comics Canon?
