comics i read > Batman: The Long Halloween

(wiki)
Batman: The Long Halloween was a 13-issue comic book limited series written by Jeph Loeb with art by Tim Sale. It was originally published by DC Comics in 1996 and 1997.

The Long Halloween, along with Batman: The Man Who Falls, Batman: Year One, and various comics from the 1970s, all served as inspiration for the 2005 film release Batman Begins, as well as the upcoming sequel, The Dark Knight.

The Long Halloween is heavily influenced by film, The Godfather. This series continues the story of Carmine Falcone introduced in Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. Set early in Batman's career a few months after the events of Year One, the story revolves around the gradual transition of Batman's rogues' gallery from simple mob goons to full-fledged supervillains.

Overall i prefer the story than the art, the art is very frank miller's style which is not i detest but would prefer the original.The story is much better than most of the batman comics I've read. Highly recommended for fans. No wonder it's inspired the recent new batman movie.
