I always thought The Long Halloween was a Scarcrow centered story. Man, was I wrong on so many levels.

@thebel-boy13 6 жыл бұрын

My interpretation of this is that Hilda was killing until New Year's, when Harvey failed to kill Alberto. Since Alberto escaped, he started committing the Holiday killings, particularly Maroni's men, the people in Maroni's restaurant, Maroni's father, the coroner, Carla and Maroni himself. Afterwards, Dent only killed Falcone and Vernon Fields. So basically: Gilda: First Halloween - Christmas Harvey: New Year's and Second Halloween Alberto: Valentine's Day - Labor Day

This was a damn good murder mystery. When I first read it that ending reveal blew my mind! I heard the Saw theme in my head. You know the one that plays at the end of the first movie when the twist is revealed? That one. I love this story and you can see elements of it being used in The Dark Knight. Particularly the Dent/Two-face stuff

@Savra 8 жыл бұрын

+Altar360 I really liked it too, but the ending is a little tricky... [SPOILERS] Theres no way a simple housewife could kill all the victims by herself, i always believe that she only kills some of the victims and the others were victims of Dent.

+Theodor Mauros I didn't like it at first either but eventually got sick the ultra sleek Jim Lee (and knock offs) style and started appreciating Sale's more raw and 'sketchy' style. It has a nice blend of the old comic sketch style and the more modern sleek and epic style. But to each their own.

@Frankenstein077 8 жыл бұрын

Stefan Kovacevic It's called "personal taste." For the record I didn't like the art style of Dark Knight Returns either.

@pishposh1504 8 жыл бұрын

personally it's really batman's design I don't care for. since the long halloween is the sequel to Batman:year one and year one was suppose to be somewhat realistic and batman's costume and design in long halloween is leaps and bounds away from that compared to his year one look.

+Afonso Lucas either both the son and dent killed members of falcone's family or dent did it all and the son made himself a scapegoat. Dent most likely did it all by himself though.

Afonso Lucas reading the story myself I always thought that Alberto killed everyone and two face only killed Carmine falcone. There wasn’t really much suggesting that Harvey killed all of them and Alberto did nothing, the only thing I didn’t get was Gilda at the end of the novel idk if she was involved with the murders or what because in the next novel dark victory she completely disappears and nobody knows where she is

Or and this is my favourite fight an evil superman or his mind control. We just need more store of batman solving murders and mysterys
