Batman: The Long Halloween

Have just finished re-reading Batman: The Long Halloween.  Did read this back in 2012.   But didn’t take my time with it since I borrowed.  Back then remember really like the story.  Have reading it again it was way better.  One of the best Batman stories I have read so far.  While all the Batman bad guys we all know and love are it there.   It is more grounded in a real world setting.  If you seen the best Batman movie, The Dark Knight, there are lots of elements taken from this story and worked into the movie.   This story is all most twenty years old and it could have came out yesterday.  Some times while older stories can be still good they don’t hold up well.  This not one of them.   I guess that this while to this day you can still buy new copies in stores.  This is well worth the time and money.  The more Batman in your life the better.

Batman: The Long Halloween

Have all ways heard lots of get things about Batman: The Long Halloween.  Have read that is is one of the best Batman stories every written.  The story line was first releases in a 13 issue arc.  Back in 1996/1997.  Know the story takes place early in Batman’s career.  A few days back while at the mall, went into the book store just to see what was there.  Had some money left on a gift card I got years back.  Seen that there was a newer looking cover on The Long Halloween.  So decided to buy it.  Most times I buy trade paperbacks off of Amazon.ca because it is so much cheaper.  Doesn’t really matter.  Now I have another Batman story to read.  Not sure when I will get to.  That is because have about four other trades to read first.  The more the better.

Batman: The Long Halloween

Got my hands on a copy of the trade paper back or graphic novel (what ever you call them) Batman: The Long Halloween.  Have heard from a few people that it was really good and it is good.  It first came out it was a 13 issues run.  That why these TPB are good, you get the whole story in one shoot.

As I said it is good and I will tell you while.  The story use a whole bunch of bad guys mixed in the the Falcone mob stuff. All so see how Two-Face came to be.  But the bet part is you can see that this story has influenced the movies Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.  After reading the first part it really stands out what stuff they used from this comic.  Now I am on a bit of a comic book kick.  Think I am going to have to go and buy some.
