Tonight, we’re strapping on our trench coats and lighting a match on the most intense, year-long mystery in Batman history: Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s The Long Halloween.
Set in the shadowy days of Batman’s early career—right after Year One—this is the story that changed everything for Gotham. It’s a noir tale of crime, corruption, and the tragic price of justice. We're going to follow the Dark Knight, Captain Jim Gordon, and the idealistic District Attorney Harvey Dent as they form a desperate pact to bring down the mob empire of Carmine "The Roman" Falcone.
But their war on organized crime is overshadowed by a sinister, calendar-obsessed serial killer known only as Holiday, who strikes only on the city's major holidays. Every month, a new victim, a new clue, and a slow, agonizing descent for one of Gotham's greatest hopes.
Get ready to discuss a story that not only redefined the Caped Crusader's detective skills but served as the definitive, heartbreaking origin of one of his most iconic foes: Two-Face.
So grab your pumpkin spice lattes—or maybe just a two-headed coin—because we’re starting our year-long hunt for the Holiday Killer... right now!
