I just read Batman: The Long Halloween for the first time. It's probably my favorite mystery ever. So, I want to know if anyone was able to predict the ending.

Edit: I forgot to say, spoilers for Long Halloween show be alright, but please don't spoil Dark Victory, etc. I haven't read those yet.

I don't quite remember, I read it so long ago now... should re-read it sometime. I loved the book, I didn't guess the ending at all though.

Dark Victory is good as well, it has a similar theme.

I read it several years ago when I had not read nearly as many Batman comics as I have now. I did like it at the time, and I figured nothing out, but I usually do not try to figure out mysteries. I just enjoy the ride.

Nope i didnt see it coming lol

Yeah, Long Halloween totally threw me. I'll always love that story. Shows a younger, more unexperienced Batman. I'm also a huge fan of Tim Sale's art.

I will say after that, Loeb's technique became more predictable though. I didn't predict Dark Victory's ending either, but I remember it crossing my mind briefly before getting to the end. After that, Hush's ending was easy to see before it happened.

yeah that happened to me too, except the part where Riddler figures out Batman's identity and how he was the mastermind.
