With nearly eight decades to his name, Batman has embarked upon some of the most thrilling, awe-inspiring, and influential adventures in all comics. Fighting against iconic villains such as the Joker, Two-Face, and so many more, Batman’s tales of crime-fighting have taken him across the globe and to the darkest pits of his home, Gotham City. While the ’90s may be considered a dark time for comics, some truly amazing stories were still published. Batman, in particular, has several definitive tales released in the ’90s, many of which are still celebrated today.
Stories such as 1990s Batman: Prey (by Doug Moench, Paul Gulacy, and Terry Austin), 1991’s Batman: Venom (by Denny ‘O Neil and Trevor von Eeden), and 1993’s Batman: Knightfall event are all classic Batman stories that were released throughout the decade. Among them is 1996’s Batman: The Long Halloween (by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale), a miniseries that chronicles a string of murders within Gotham City. But another truly fantastic story that has flown under the radar over the years is the prelude to The Long Halloween, a trio of Halloween-themed stories that not only inspired Batman’s classic tale but even surpassed it in its own way. Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Halloween Special puts the Dark Knight through his paces while exploring the vulnerability he fights so hard to hide.
What makes “Choices” such a compelling Batman story is how it puts Batman on the back burner, instead choosing to focus on the complexities of Bruce Wayne’s life. As much as he attempts to repress it and ignore it, a large part of him yearns for happiness. By choosing to forsake his own desires so that he can fully dedicate his existence to being Batman, Bruce Wayne has ignored a growing need to simply…walk away. But the ramifications of leaving Batman behind, even for a single night, can have catastrophic consequences. It’s a sorrowful development for him, but it’s a mind-clearing revelation that helps Bruce Wayne and Batman understand their symbiotic relationship.
