The duo Loeb-Sale signs here a true masterpiece. They take us on an exciting storyline where Batman, Gordon and Dent face an unknown killer who spreads terror in Gotham. A real detective story where you look for the end of the story until the last page. The survey is very well written and shows several characters from the saga who are there to help or hinder the work of detectives that work each in their own way.
I had been warned that The Long Halloween was a must-have but I do not think it would be as good. We feel that this book was the inspiration for Christopher Nolan.
It is undeniably one of the first books in the collection Batman fans must purchase.
