Honestly this was a great Batman book and I enjoyed it from beginning to the end. The art was great the writing was great overall a great experience and its my first time i think to be impressed by jeph loeb, not sure if i seen art by tim sale before but glad i finally did <3.Ĥ.5 Stars! Before the long holloween, there was Batman : Haunted Knight. Third and last story is inspired by Christmas carol, after batman catches the penguin he goes to sleep and gets visited by three spirits poison ivy, joker, i am not sure whose the third one though is it his father or was there someone else !Īnyway the spirits teach batman to have some me time and to try and make a legacy for himself outside of crime fighting.

Oh and doctor Thompkins makes an appearance i know her from the tv series. Second story was about the mad hatter and it was inspired by alice in wonderland, it was a great story i specially liked the girl that jim gordon has adopted i never knew he had a girl from adoption before, maybe it happens in this story only i am not really sure as i am not an expert on all things batman. Last thing i'm going to mention is that all of the great writing comes to life by the exceptional art by Tim Sale.įirst story is about the scarecrow and a woman who batman falls in love with but she turns out to be a rich husbands killer, scarecrow kept evading batman many times in this story. Without him who knows how Bruce would turn out. Alfred is both a father figure and a friend to Bruce. I do appreciate when writers show the importance of this character, and Loeb definitely delivers here too. That also gives a nice contrast between Bruce and Batman.Īnother important aspect of the Haunted Knight is Alfred. You have empathy and sympathy for him and you want him to be happy. You understand why he risks his own happiness and life so others can live in a better world. You can feel the vulnerability and sadness in Bruce. Despite the many years that have gone by, that little boy who lost everything he loved that night, is still there. It's to make sure that as few people as possible will feel the same pain he does. Why does multimillionaire puts on a Bat- suit and fights crime?

What's even better is the reason he does it. Seeing Batman solving cases and going against criminals and villains is awesome. Such a story was 'The long Halloween' and now so is 'The Haunted Knight'. At the same time they lit the fuel of my enthusiasm and make sure, he will stay on the top for many years to come. These are the ones that remind me why for all those years, Batman stays on the top of the list of my favourite superheroes. There are some stories though, that i don't like.but i love. Some short, while some take you on a long journey before they finally conclude their run. Fans of the Caped crusader can find many good stories.
