‘Batman: Last Halloween – Noir Edition’ Will Pay Tribute to Tim Sale with a Captivating Mystery

Jeph Loeb is bringing us back to Gotham’s darkest holiday with Batman: Last Halloween – Noir Edition #1, arriving January 29, 2025. This 10-part story picks up from The Long Halloween Special (2021) and pays tribute to the legendary Tim Sale.
Known for his unforgettable collaboration with Loeb on The Long Halloween back in 1996, Sale’s influence looms large over this gripping new tale.
In the first chapter, Gotham’s eerie Halloween traditions take a sinister turn. A life-changing crisis shakes Jim Gordon to his core, testing Batman and Robin in ways we haven’t seen before. The noir aesthetic strips Gotham of its usual vibrance, amplifying its shadowy, tense atmosphere.
Loeb teams up with Eduardo Risso for this debut, showcasing stunning black-and-white art to honor Sale’s iconic style. This issue promises a haunting start to a mystery where trust is scarce and danger lurks everywhere. It’s all packaged for $4.99, making it a must-have for fans of Gotham’s darker side.
Published by DC Comics, Batman: Last Halloween – Noir Edition offers a compelling new chapter for Gotham City, cementing Loeb’s and Sale’s legacy in Batman lore.
