Another excellent graphic novel by Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale October 2, 2008 D. Tappan Just like Loeb/Sale's "Batman: Long Halloween" and "Batman: Dark Victory", "Batman: Haunted Knight" is another holiday themed graphic novel. It is a trio of short stories which are nothing short of amazing. In the first story, Scarecrow is prowling about Gotham on Halloween night. The second story is based around the Mad Hatter and his obsession with Lewis Carrol's "Alice and Wonderland". Finally, the third story is a batman christmas carrolesque story in which batman learns a life lesson from three spirits who take the form of people who have greatly influenced him throughout his years. ((Note: the final story is clearly meant to be like Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol". At the beginning of the graphic novel it says "Ghosts based on a christmas carol")) br /The artwork by Sale is amazing and as always, Loeb continues to prove he knows how to tell a great story.
Batman Fights Scarecrow and Mad Hatter September 7, 2008 dasn0wman (Brooklyn, NY United States) The Scarecrow and Mad Hatter as real Batman villains, the way it should be! Not as filler characters as in other Halloween books like The Long Halloween and Dark Victory. Only problem is they are short stories since there are 3 stories in this book. The last story sucks so much as Bruce Wayne gets visited by spirits of his past a la A Christmas Carol.
The worst of Sale/Loeb series April 8, 2008 J. Raheb (Ontario, Canada) This was the last of the three graphic novels by Sale/Loeb that I read (the other two being Dark Victory and The Long Halloween). It added no value and was not worth reading. The major plus is the art other than that I would skip this collection.
Good read, nothing special February 9, 2008 Tomas Siqueiros Lee (Mexicali, Mexico) It's composed of three stories, the stories are nothing special. They seem like just another day in the dark knight's life.
Pretty solid book December 14, 2007 Paul Polonskiy (St. Louis, MO USA) This book consists of three stories. The first one, about Batman facing off against the Scarecrow, is by far the strongest of the three. The second one, about the Mad Hatter, is still pretty good. It's more about Bruce Wayne, and I was appreciative of the fact that they showed that Batman is human. The third one is the weakest of the trio. However, the strength of the former two storeies more than make up for the flaws of the latter. The artwork in all three stories was superb by the way.
