Grey Liliy reviewed Batman by Jeph Loeb
Review of 'Batman' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Edition Read: Individual Issues on Comixlogy.
The Team Up of Loeb & Sale in The Long Halloween and Dark Victory is something I've seen referred to as a classic, and amazing reboot of the Batman story. And it is every bit as good as I had heard.
The Long Halloween manages to merge Gotham's Mob life and it's Rogue gallery together into a compelling mystery surrounding the killer Holiday. Everyone from Rogues to Mobsters get their moment in gorgeous artwork and compelling dialogue.
In particular, I can see why this is many people's favorite imagining of The Scarecrow & The Mad Hatter (their team up in the July chapter being the reason I eventually caved and picked up the book).
It's got a little something for everyone from Bruce & Selina's troubled romance, to family drama with the five mob families of Gotham. And of course, Commissioner Gordon & Harvey Dent take their spot alongside Batman and the Gotham PD.
It's a great story, with a great twist & completely worth reading. Loved it. Go read it.
