Carla is in turn being watched over by the Roman, spying from his office and ruminating on his less-than-smooth relationship with his sister. Selina seductively convinces Bruce to stay, and their dancing attracts the attention of Carla Viti, mother of the groom and sister to the Roman.

Bruce is eager to leave and pursue his regular night activities, until he meets up with Selina Kyle. The Roman confides in his bodyguard Milos that he is disappointed at Wayne's refusal, but that the deal still has enough votes to get through.īruce listens in on the conversation from the hallway until he is discovered by Alberto Falcone, the 'good son' who shows Bruce the door and eyes him menacingly as he goes. Falcone takes advantage of the occasion of his nephew's wedding to similarly convince Bruce Wayne, but Bruce is not swayed and leaves in a huff. To that end, the Roman has used his influence on several members of the bank's board of directors, including bank president Richard Daniel, to persuade them to accept his family's business. However, the Falcone mob is in desperate need of a means to launder their ill-gotten gains, and the Roman sees the Gotham City Bank as a likely source. The Roman rules over an intricate crime family which in turn rules over Gotham. It is June in Gotham City, and Johnny Viti, nephew of Carmine 'The Roman' Falcone, is getting married on the hottest day of the year. In 2021, the storyline was adapted into two movies, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One and Part Two. As the story unfolds, Carmine Falcone hires 'freaks' ( Poison Ivy, the Riddler, the Scarecrow, and the Mad Hatter) in an attempt to stop the Batman and restore power back to the family, only to discover that the freaks are more powerful than he expected. The plot follows Batman's struggle to find a mysterious killer, while Harvey Dent's and Jim Gordon's marriages are strained during the process. This story has been accepted into continuity after Zero Hour erased the events of Batman: Year Two from the canon. It follows the events in a few months following Year One and examines an entire year of Batman's career as a crime fighter, so it could be considered a 'Year Two'/'Year Three', in some form. 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. The series continues the story of Carmine Falcone introduced in Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. The Long Halloween is a Batman storyline by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, published in the limited series of the same name.

I believe someday I will make good on that promise.

No matter what that evil looks like or becomes.

I made a promise to my parents that I would rid the city of the evil that took their lives.
