Batman Noir - Dark Victory

comic strip

Author Name: Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale

Here, writer Jeph Loeb shines at one of his finest. - IGN "Dark Victory owes more to the crime and gangster genre, especially The Godfather, than it does to traditional superhero stories." - David S. Goyer, screenwriter of The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel "Dark Victory, the sequel to The Long Halloween, takes place in the early years of the Dark Knight's career. Batman tries to stop "The Executioner," an elusive killer who targets cops, before he leaves more victims in his wake, and more of those papers on their bodies, the only clues to who the Executioner is. The finger of suspicion points to Batman's traditional foes: Two-Face, the Joker, the Riddler, and Catwoman. This time, Batman can't even trust the police, under the leadership of their new commissioner, Jim Gordon. To find the solution, Batman will have to go where no one imagines. To an orphan boy whose life will change forever. "Batman and Robin" will be their names. And this will be their story.
