DC Comics delivers a new edition of "Batman: Dark Victory" and does what any great publisher would do to pull in more sales. They add new content to give readers who already have it another reason to grab an updated copy. It also gives folks who haven't picked it up or read it a chance to dive into what entertainment website IGN calls the 10th greatest Batman graphic novel ever released. The title is justifiable as made visible by a wonderfully complex crime tale and top-notch artwork.
Gotham City is once again gripped by fear as a serial murderer copying the "Holiday Killer" is taking out police officers once a month. Is Alberto Falcone finding a way to commit the crimes even though he's on house arrest? Could it be Commissioner James Gordon and Bruce Wayne's good-guy-gone-bad friend, Harvey Dent/Two-Face? Only the Dark Knight can uncover the clues to these sinister crimes.
At the same time, Batman finds himself taking in a kindred spirit. A young trapeze artist whose parents tragically fell to their deaths suspects that it wasn't an accident. He will go to any extremes to uncover the mystery of who might be behind their untimely demise.
Writer Jeph Loeb certainly knows how to keep readers on their toes. "Batman: Dark Victory" keeps you guessing until the bitter end by steering you in one direction and then yanking you in another. This is the shadowy Detective the way Bob Kane originally designed him to be.
Tim Sale's art is one of a kind. He's the type of illustrator where you know his work as soon as you see it. It has a classic golden age style to it, but uniquely blends it with a pop art flavor.
