    So, okay then This is the sequel to The Long Halloween which I was not the biggest fan of to begin with Still, on the enjoyment scale, this one was better That was until I got to the last two issues Ironically enough, while The Long Halloween had a rough start but a nonetheless merciful albeit incomplete resolution, Dark Victory managed to get a stronger and concise beginning but a frustrating and pointless ending I don t understand this travesty The Knightfall series is honestly better writt [...]

    FINAL RATING 4.5 STARS Dark Victory lived up to my expectations I loved The Long Halloween, but I actually liked this a bit While I think this is an amazing follow up from The Long Halloween, some of my questions from the first one still remained unanswered, while some were finally put to a close The conflict The deceit The twists The turns The action I loved all of them.Full review to follow.

    New 52 Batman and Re birth batman fans take note HERE IS HOW BATMAN SHOULD BE DONE All Clear Good.Dark Victory is the superb sequel to the excellent The Long Halloween Brilliantly written by Jeph Loeb and artfully drawn by Tim Sale these two books were used, along with Frank Miller s DKR, to set the tone for Christopher Nolan s movies.Dark Victory takes up with Harvey Dent becoming Two Face There is a gang war going on in Gotham This is during Batman s earlier years You can see, as the story pro [...]

    I ve read Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale s Batman books in the order they ve written them with Haunted Knight coming first followed by The Long Hallowe en and finally coming to Dark Victory I suppose Loeb ought to be congratulated for bringing the Batman stories back to their original format, that is detective crime stories, where he brings the mob and Batman side by side as natural enemies Here s the story a killer is killing people by hanging them on holidays Hallowe en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc a [...]

    Dark Victory is the sequel to Batman The Long Halloween The Long Halloween tells the tragic story of Harvey Dent aka Two Face and his fall from grace Dark Victory follows this up by continuing the stories of Harvey, the Falcone crime family, and the Bat himself in the aftermath of Harvey s imprisonment.The book follows the exact same format as its predecessor, and somewhat surprisingly uses the exact same theme to tie the episodes together Each issue takes place on a different holiday, and each [...]

    Let s face it, a majority of Batman readers hate Robin Why No clue I always thought he was a nice contrast to Batman s loner characteristics A lot of people mention that Robin doesn t fit a Batman story, and that s because Robin is nothing like Batman because Batman has always fought alone Well, I would love to agree with those people, but I would be a liar if I did.First of all, about Robin, this graphic novel does explain Robin s origin Dick Grayson the first Robin loses his parents in an acci [...]

    I don t have a lot to say about this book It s a sequel to The Long Halloween, and the connection shows Ultimately, DARK VICTORY suffers from its similarity to its predecessor Aside from the details of who gets murdered, the stories are nearly identical An unknown villain kills his victims on holidays Harvey Dent Two Face is suspected in the crimes.Batman tumbles with all of his rogues gallery while investigating the murders.The killer is disappointingly revealed to be a character you never susp [...]

    You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.Another big piece of Batman history by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale But this time, we get to welcome with big open arms to the best this might be debatable, but not with me Boy Wonder As if the cover art doesn t already show you who we re talking about here, Dark Victory introduces Mr Dick Grayson into the Batman universe This trade paperback collects all 14 issues published back in 1999 and 2000 and follows the events of The Long Hallow [...]

    Batman Dark Victory An excellent follow up to Long HalloweenOriginally posted at Fantasy Literature Batman Dark Victory 2000 takes place immediately after Batman The Long Halloween 1997 In the aftermath of the Holiday Killer, Gotham s Falcone and Maroni crime families are in chaos Dark Victory is steeped in the same dark crime noir atmosphere as Long Halloween, so if you liked the first title you will like this one too It s all about mysterious killings, Mafia wars, the rise of the arch villians [...]

    Definitely one of my favorite graphic novels It s a combination of The Godfather crime family drama with Batman, all the classic villains, detective work and the introduction of Robin This is the sequel to Long Halloween and a major contributor to the recent Batman movies by Nolan Batman is his classic self with awesome detective skills, a larger than life presence, shadow and stealth, and a certain broken humanity Yet for all his demands of justice and beat downs and no nonsense there is a glim [...]

    The Long Halloween is a great book, but it did leave some loose threads hanging It was probably inevitable that a sequel could come along, so here we have Dark Victory The writing is pretty solid, but it s a little derivative of Long Halloween at times The stories mirror each other too much for me The best part is the introduction of Robin, done so many times over, but handled really well here It is a good read, but it could have been better.

    The Long Halloween was, despite its villain a month hook, a tight, compact murder mystery at its core With mob drama and crime procedural being flanked by Batman fighting the recognizable of his and Green Lantern s, I guess rogues gallery, the result was a well written, tightly wound whodunnit with just enough Batman flavour to justify being a Batman book As a sort of sequel to Year One, it works perfectly as far as the tone goes But the scope, as with Year One, was decidedly limited.Long Hallo [...]

    Dark Victory is a satisfying follow up to The Long Halloween, both in terms of plot and art style Even if it were a crime novel featuring a wealthy detective and his interaction with criminals, mobsters, and the local police force, it would still be thoroughly enjoyable to read The fact that said detective is Batman is just icing on the cake As in Long Halloween, there is a string of murders taking place on significant days during one year The difference is that the victims are members of the po [...]

    The follow up to Loeb and Sale s previous hit story, The Long Halloween, Dark Victory picks up one year after the events of the earlier story If you liked The Long Halloween s focus on a variety of characters and Gotham itself, this is a perfect follow up for you Let s be honest, Jeph Loeb is not writing Shakespeare That said, Dark Victory is pretty frickin Shakespearean The same emphasis on a variety of characters struggling against fate, destiny, responsibility and all the rest elevate this fa [...]

    This is a sequel to Loeb and Sale s classic The Long Halloween, and I had never read this one I think it is beautiful artwork by Sale, and the story is lonnnnng and mostly compelling, though there are no real surprises along the way It is curious why it garnered such high ratings, but maybe it has something to do with the initial expectations of the book when it came out, to such fanfare I liked it, it s kinda classic Gotham mob Gordon Batman Two Face stuff, far better than the average fare you [...]

    Batman Dark Victory, the direct sequel to Batman The Long Halloween, is not nearly as good as its predecessor.The problem is that it tries to do too much The second similar serial killer story, the Dick Grayson Robin story, the Batman Catwoman story, and the freak villains finally uniting all could have worked, separately Most of them probably could have been fit into Dark Victory successfully But not all of them, all at once, and certainly not in a shorter space than The Long Halloween was give [...]

    Two face is back, holding court in the sewers because where else is better, all your fave villains are in this, although could have done with a bit freeze he s awesome Really liked this one, alfred knows what up he s on point as ever We get to see lil grayson who is my fave robin although we could have done with a bit of his story The artwork has really grown on me i love how they draw joker s huge ass grin, takes up like most of the page, and also how flippin cute is penguin, he s meant to be [...]

    Batman Dark Victory has way so many things going on that Batman has to become an overly talkative narrator It revolves around a convoluted story of police murders These serial killings are uninspired with murder clues I didn t even bother to look at again and I m not even comparing this to The Long Halloween The Robin origin story is forced and Dick is a bit of a deus ex machina simply because the story is nearing its conclusion.I m okay with Dark Victory having a similar story with The Long Hal [...]

    This was my 2nd reading of Dark Victory An early story in the Batman world, and a very good one Follows the Long Halloween storyline Someone is targeting cops gangsters and killing them Batman has to work hard to figure out who, all while the whole villains gallery has been broken out of Arkham Great stuff, also the first appearance of Dick Grayson.

    Estuvo muy bueno, aunque se me hizo bastante largo en un principio Despu s engancha y me gust el final y al resoluci n Adem s, aparece Dick Grayson, y no hab a le do hasta ahora ning n c mic de Batman con l Bastante recomendable si te gusta el super h roe y los policiales y si te gust El Largo Halloween.

    Grand simo c mic Batman nos recuerda su verdadero yo y nos sumerge en una historia profunda y oscura en las entra as de una lucha por la amistad, y la justicia.

    The follow up to Batman The Long Halloween pales in comparison to its forerunner It started to feel rushed and then muddled towards the finale Also, the nods towards Puzo s Coppola s The Godfather are at times laid on a little thick However, despite that criticism it was still a reasonably good Batman book The scenes with Commissioner Gordon who has the largest supporting role , the introduction Dick Grayson Robin, and the wisdom of Alfred were definite assets to this collection.

    One of the most unique teams in comics is that of Batman and Robin Batman, the ultimate loner, takes on a young sidekick the first of many that form the Bat family , and fights crime with him Batman is all dark blues and grays designed to blend into the background, while Robin is bright depending on how he s written, almost gaudily bright colors, that are impossible to blend into any nighttime background Batman is a perpetually grim guy who has to fight hard to keep from becoming as evil as thos [...]

    This is a good continuation maybe not great of The Long Halloween I am so impressed with Tim Sale s artwork, which pleasantly reminds me of the Animated Series mixed with Christopher Nolan intensity, leaning toward a mostly realistic stylization Joker aside, not in love with that depiction , although occasionally Batman was as large as Solomon Grundy who is like ten feet tall I like the dialog overall, although as some reviewers have pointed out it does seem to borrow heavily from mafia film ste [...]

    This is a direct sequel to well not direct, but relies heavily on the events that happened in The Long Halloween It s practically mandatory to read to that before this one.Unlike the Long Halloween though, this story exceeds it The mystery is better crafted, the solving of it is a bit better but not by much, and pacing is far FAR better other than the character designs are the same, but don t bug me as much as they did the first time around It takes a darker approach, well not really, but it doe [...]

    The story is set right after the events of The Long Halloween Which I loved Robin is introduced here and was smoothly done Two face is a perfect antagonist as always.As usual the suspense was well maintained till the end The twist was worth the wait The relationship between Bruce and Alfred is beyond mothership.
