Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Tim Sale, the story follows the Dark Knight's year-long hunt for a serial killer striking on holidays, while exploring the transition of Gotham's organized crime to its iconic rogues' gallery.
In "Crime," the chilling mystery of the Holiday killer deepens as Alberto Falcone’s arrest seems to bring closure—only for Harvey Dent to unleash chaos by freeing Arkham’s most dangerous inmates, setting off a violent chain reaction that ends with Carmine Falcone’s death. Batman swiftly restores order, but the true identity of the Holiday killer remains shrouded in doubt. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with haunting precision by Tim Sale, this pivotal issue from the acclaimed Batman: The Long Halloween series features cover art by Tim Sale, whose moody, noir-inspired visuals perfectly match the story’s dark, suspenseful tone.
In "Valentine's Day," the Holiday killer makes their first move against Salvatore Maroni’s gang, plunging Gotham into deeper chaos. Bruce Wayne spends the evening with Selina Kyle, but their night takes a dangerous turn when he’s captured by Poison Ivy.
In "Mother's Day," Batman confronts Calendar Man in Arkham Asylum on a tense Mother's Day, just as the Scarecrow slips free from his cell. Meanwhile, Sofia races to uncover clues in the Holiday killer’s latest trail, while Bruce Wayne finds himself on the run from the police, caught in a web of suspicion and secrets.
In "Roman Holiday," Sal "The Boss" Maroni’s courtroom outburst—flinging acid at Harvey Dent—shatters the fragile peace of Gotham’s justice system, leaving Dent scarred and the city on edge. As the Holiday Killer’s next target looms, the tension between law, vengeance, and corruption reaches a fever pitch.
In "Labor Day," Batman and Commissioner Gordon race to uncover the truth behind Harvey Dent’s sudden disappearance, following a brutal attack on Sal "The Boss" Maroni that unravels a shocking revelation about the Holiday Killer’s identity. As the investigation deepens, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur in Gotham’s darkest hour.
In "Punishment," Alberto Falcone’s shocking confession to the Holiday murders sets off a chain of violent consequences, as Harvey Dent unleashes Arkham’s most dangerous inmates—only for Batman to reclaim them all. But with Carmine Falcone dead and the truth still tangled, the real question lingers: was Alberto the killer, or just the latest pawn in a game far darker than anyone suspects?
