  Perhaps that is why Batman has lasted 80 years. We root for Batman's fight because we each struggle with our own version of a long defeat.

  I wish Batman had events like this again, such a fun read.

  I always loved how the long Halloween showed the transition of Gotham being run by gangsters to then being consumed by super crime. It’s also more tragic how Batman can take out regular organized crime but he can’t take out the rising super criminals he helped to partially inspire

  For those who don&apos;t know, The Dark Knight movie took this comic as one of its inspirations.<br>This can mostly be seen through the close cooperation through Batman, Harvey, and Gordon.

  Imagine being as talented an editor as Matt Draper? I can&apos;t relate.

  In a way it&apos;s always Halloween in Gotham.

  I don&apos;t think you got the right takeaway from what the twist implied actually happened (because everything makes total sense).<br><br>Gilda was only responsible for the first three killings, which were all in direct retaliation for someone threatening Harvey&apos;s safety (Viti for mudering Richard Daniel, the Irish for blowing up their house, and accidentally the bodyguard in place of Joker after he broke into their home).<br><br>Alberto picked up the killings from then on in an effort to capitalize on the first three. Finally, Harvey killed Falcone, making him the final Holiday killer.<br><br>Gilda thought Harvey was the one who picked up the killings, but it was actually Alberto. Nobody knew anything about Gilda&apos;s involvement (which further emphasizes how the Long Halloween was Batman&apos;s greatest failure).

  R.I.P Tim Sale. We have truly lost an icon in the comic book world. His legacy will live on forever through his breathtaking and unique artwork.

  You can really see the influence of this on Arkham Knight, this idea that Gotham is not a city that Batman can properly save, it&apos;s completely spun out from beyond something that was once grounded crime to something that&apos;s out of the realm of the real world, super-villany that is defined by how utterly depraved it is.

  This just makes me want to read this comic a whole lot more. &nbsp;I wouldn&apos;t mind it being adapted into a miniseries or a film. Keep up with the brilliant work.
