Two-Face is free, and the horror has only just begun. With the aid of a mad doctor, Two-Face will attempt to control his "Jekyll and Hyde" syndrome once and for all . . . even if it means experimenting on everyone in Gotham -- including the Batman! This book delves into the split personality of the popular Batman villain Two-Face, whose scarred face represents the two halves of his shattered psyche.

本书是现代漫画的经典之作，将一个黑暗的世界和一个更黑暗的人栩栩如生地重现在读者眼前。 编剧兼画家弗兰克?米勒在描线师克劳斯?詹森以及上色师琳恩?瓦利的配合下，完全重塑了蝙蝠侠的传说，将其放到了黑暗骑士退休十年后的近未来。哥谭市濒于腐坏，街头犯罪极其猖獗，蝙蝠侠虽已退休，仍受到父母遇害的记忆困扰。布鲁斯?韦恩所处的社会正走向崩溃，他长期压抑着的义警一面终于打破了自己设下的枷锁，破茧而出。 黑暗骑士在愤怒的火焰中归来了。他不仅要解决全新的一代罪犯，而且暴力程度也赶超了他们的水平。很快他有了新一代的罗宾——一个名叫嘉蕾?凯利的女孩，她证明自己和前几代罗宾一样，都是无价之宝。 但是，他们私自执法的行为引发了无数争议，新上任的哥谭市警察局长也下令逮捕他。蝙蝠侠同时与疯狂的犯罪者和恪守法律的警方交锋，而由于他出格的举动，美国总统甚至拜托他的昔日战友——超人来与他为敌…… 蝙蝠侠和罗宾能否解决他们最可怕的敌人带来的威胁？更重要的是，两大超级大国即将不宣而战，昔日的两大最强英雄也将展开对决，人类能否从中幸存？

It's refreshing when you find a Batman story that both is epic and successfully explores the core of a resolutely explored character. Taking as its catalyst a sub-plot from the seminal Batman: Year One, the story revolves around murders occurring on national holidays, the victims connected to Mob boss "The Roman." Dubbed "Holiday," the killer uses an untraceable handgun and leaves small trinkets at the scene. Plenty of suspects are available, but the truth is something the Dark Knight never suspected. This series scores two major coups: it brilliantly portrays the transfer of Gotham rule to the supervillains and charts the horrific transformation of Harvey Dent from hardened D.A. to the psychotic Two-Face. Both orbit around the sharply portrayed relationship between Dent, Commissioner Gordon, and Batman: a triumvirate of radically different perceptions of Justice. It is always great to see the formative incarnation of Batman, drenched in noir here.Jeph Loeb's writing is keenly aware that Batman is a detective, and Tim Sale portrays a Gotham that is a fertile breeding ground for corruption and madness. Here, Batman is coming to terms with the potent image he projects and the madness it attracts. There are many fine Batman stories, but the ones that capture the spirit with extreme clarity are few. On this alone, The Long Halloween comes highly recommended. Masterfully executed, this is an excellent chance to revisit the world of Batman as fresh as in the summer of 1939. --Danny Graydon
