Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman's deadly enemy, Two-Face.This edition includes original 13-issue series as well as four additional story pages cut from the original series, which are presented fully colored and restored to their place in the story. Also featured are sketches and an introduction by the director and writer of The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer.

""But in Gotham City, on Halloween...all hell breaks loose!" <br/><br/>Batman: Haunted Knight was my Halloween read. I'd been holding on to this one for a couple months & looking forward to it. The stories weren't bad, but they weren't anything super memorable, either. My favorite of the three was probably Fears. I loved the idea of this book, but it just didn't really work for me as a collection."

"Best installment yet. Jason Todd lives!! I'm interested to see if he makes an appearance in the next issue. Batman and Jack Napier work together with the police to find the Neo-Joker and Batman takes consequences for his actions. Good choice, Bruce."

"A non-canon story from Batman’s early days when he was more concerned about the mob than those so called supervillains. As Batman takes on the Falcone family mysterious murders happen on every major holiday. It’s much more of an atmospheric story than a mystery. The art can be wonderfully moody or laughably bad."

"I read and enjoyed this book, but it's been two and a half years so I forget it. I just noticed it wasn't listed. I do remember it had a "The gang's all here!" kind of feel to it."

"Events from the big two comics companies can be exhausting and often aren't very good, with characterization sacrificed to plot. While Cataclysm isn't the best event out there, I think it's one of the better Batman crossovers. Perhaps that's because many of the issues (especially at the beginning of the crossover) can stand alone and showcase various members of the Bat Family doing what they do best. We're also treated to a Batman in this volume who isn't a psychotic; he's a driven man, but he cares deeply for his friends and loved ones and for his city. Unfortunately, this event would lead into some truly ludicrous story lines, but taken on its own, I think it's worth reading."
