Description
The action of the comic takes place at the time of the beginning of Batman's fight against crime. The plot of the comic is based on the story of a mysterious killer nicknamed "Holiday", which kills people only on holidays. With the help of District Attorney Harvey Dent and Captain James Gordon, Batman is trying to figure out who Holiday really is until the villain declares his new victim, provoking a war between the two most influential families of Gotham - Maroni and Falcone. It is in this comic that the reader becomes acquainted with one of Batmanβs most famous enemies, Calendar, who knows the true identity of Holiday, but refuses to share information with Batman. Instead, he only gives small clues. The transformation of Harvey Dent into Two-Faced also plays a major role in the plot. In addition, Batman's enemies such as the Scarecrow , the Joker , the Mad Hatter , the Poison Ivy and the Riddler appear in the comic.
