DC's Batman: The Long Halloween gets a new sequel that doubles as tribute to the late Tim Sale
Holiday isn’t done with Gotham City just yet. Newly announced at MCM London, Jeph Loeb is returning to Batman to complete the storyline he co-created with the late Tim Sale — and, in the process, joining with some of the finest comic book artists in the industry to craft the ultimate tribute to Sale’s life and career, as well.
Loeb is writing the 10-issue Batman The Long Halloween: The Last Halloween, an all-new miniseries completing a story he and Sale had planned to collaborate on before the latter’s untimely death in 2022; he’ll be joined by an all-star collection of artists on the project, with each contributing one issue of the series before handing over to the next. The first issue will be illustrated by Eduardo Risso, with future artists including Klaus Janson, Mark Chiarello, and others to be named in the months ahead.
The original Batman The Long Halloween storyline was a 13-issue miniseries from 1996 by Loeb and Sale, in which the Dark Knight tracked down the identity of a killer known as Holiday, with the path to Holiday’s identity leading him into conflict with a number of his regular rogues gallery, including the Joker, the Riddler, and Poison Ivy. A critical and commercial hit, the series had two direct comic book sequels — Batman: Dark Victory and Catwoman: When in Rome — and inspired both Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves’ takes on their respective live-action Batman movies.
