| Storyline |
Captain Gordon, D.A. Harvey
Dent, and Batman were attempting to take down Carmine "The
Roman" Falcone. Falcone was trying to launder his money through one
of Bruce Wayne's banks; Dent and Batman set fire to his storehouse of
cash. On Halloween, two key players in the case were murdered and Dent's
house was bombed. On Thanksgiving, 5 more were killed. The Joker escaped
from Arkham and began searching for the "holiday" killer. He
killed a man from a rival gang and attacked Dent in his own home. On
Christmas, one of Falcone's men was killed. Batman caught the Joker;
Falcone's son was killed on New Year's Eve. More were killed on
Valentine's day, and Bruce was taken under by Poison Ivy's spell. Catwoman
was able to break the spell, but more died on St. Patrick's day. April
Fool's Day brought out Holiday again, but this time, no one was killed.
More were killed on Mother's Day; based on a connection to Falcone, Dent
and Gordon went after Bruce Wayne. Another murder on Father's Day, this
time a former mob boss. The coroner was found dead on Independence Day.
While prosecuting, Harvey Dent had acid thrown in his face by Maroni. Dent
later escaped from the hospital. Holiday showed himself: Alberto Falcone,
thought to be the New Year's Eve victim. Dent, now "Two-Face",
released the deadliest from Arkham and killed Falcone. Dent was arrested
and the Holiday killings were over. |
