Spending Halloween with Batman is a Delightful Treat
Batman Haunted Knight is a collection of three Halloween themed stories by Jeph Loeb and art by Tim Sale. If you liked their work on the Long Halloween and holiday based stories, then should like this as well. The stories are fairly simple, but the art is the true star of this comic. Sale's art really works well with Batman as he draws him as a creature of the shadows who preys upon the criminals of Gotham City. The coloring was also very nice and moody. The three of these aspects together help create an atmospheric and entertaining collection of Halloween stories. Each story has its own tone while also maintaining a consistency to the stories. I also liked how it touched on his relationship with his parents and him struggling with crime fighting and enjoying himself. The only complaint I really have is Scarecrow seems a little off in his story. Other than that I would definitely recommend this story and I know I will be reading it again next Halloween.
