Dark Victory


Batman: Dark Victory
(2002)
Dark Victory (Batman: Dark Victory 0-13; w Jeph Loeb; a Tim Sale). [From DC Comics: In BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale (SUPERMAN FOR ALL SEASONS, Spider-Man: Blue) took a haunting look at the early days of Batman's career, revealing a Gotham caught between mobsters and freakish criminals...a Gotham whose defenders—James Gordon, Harvey Dent and the vigilante called Batman—were changed forever by the year-long hunt for the serial killer known as Holiday. Loeb and Sale then returned to the Dark Knight's early days in a staggering follow-up to THE LONG HALLOWEEN with BATMAN: DARK VICTORY—an epic sequel now collected as a massive 392-page trade paperback. DARK VICTORY contains all thirteen issues of the maxiseries, plus the #0 issue from Wizard: The Comics Magazine, and a cover by Sale! DARK VICTORY showcases some of the Dark Knight's deadliest foes, including Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze and the Joker, and introduces Batman's most trusted ally, Robin. As Gotham completes its journey from a city run by organized crime to one run by lawless freaks, the Dark Knight completes his transformation into the city's greatest defender while facing multiple threats, including the seeming return of Holiday. But, as readers of THE LONG HALLOWEEN remember, more than one person was responsible for Holiday's murders, so the question remains: Who is committing Holiday's crimes this time? And how many will die before Batman learns the truth?]
