Batman by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Omnibus

This omnibus gathers Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's interconnected Batman epics. In The Long Halloween, a killer known as Holiday murders a mob figure on each major holiday, forcing an early-career Batman, Jim Gordon, and Harvey Dent to hunt the culprit while Gotham's crime families tear themselves apart — a case whose fallout directly creates Two-Face. Dark Victory continues the aftermath as a new killer targets corrupt cops and Batman takes in a young Dick Grayson, while the Haunted Knight one-shots offer three atmospheric standalone tales.

Sale's noir-inflected, high-contrast art and Loeb's whodunit plotting made this run one of the most influential Batman stories of the modern era, shaping later film and television adaptations of the character's early years.
