Your thoughts on Long Halloween and Dark Victory are pretty much in tune with mine. I sort of forgave the "different villain for every chapter" thing in Halloween because, when it first came out, that was sort of the gimmick. Basically, it was a "Legends of the Dark Knight" maxi-series, in which all the hype around it focussed more on the villains and the holidays, and the mystery itself was sort of peripheral. In the end, it was kind of a surprise for people that it came together into this brilliant little murder mystery. Unfortunately, with Dark Victory and Hush, Loeb kind of fell into that pattern instead of doing something new and different. Still, though, great stories. Great article, HM!

I knew there would be some that I missed, particularly Dark Knight Returns (can't believe I forgot that one!) Killing Joke in particular turned out to be very important in The Dark Knight, you could really tell they had used a lot of the feel of that story when crating this version of the Joker.
