I loved it! I thought the ending was a little convoluted, but that's just Jeph Loeb going for shock value, so I can live with it.

I haven't read it yet, but it's on my list of things to read along with Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. If it doesn't go off topic here, has anyone also read The Killing Joke? It's amazing! Really gives new tension between the Joker and Batman.

Both The Killing Joke and DKR are some of the finest Batman works ever produced. I've read the The Killing Joke more times than I can remember. DKR is excellent, and helped to redefine the character of Batman into what he's supposed to be. And the fight between Batman and Superman? It's great :evilgrin: . I don't own The Long Halloween, but I'm familiar with most of the major Batman storylines up to last year.

Year One by Frank Miller is amazing too.

Killing Joke and Death in the Family are my most-read Batman TPBs by far.

I like The Long Halloween, and thought it did a good job kind of fleshing out Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face, but the story did seem a little convoluted, especially the end. And correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Harvey's wife's name always been Grace? That really confused me at first...
