'''Batman: Dark Victory''' is a 13-part comic book series written by [[Jeph Loeb]] and drawn by Tim Sale. The series is a sequel to ''Batman: [[The Long Halloween]]'' and was originally published from 1999 to 2000 by DC Comics. The series takes place primarily during the third/fourth year of Batman's career. The plot centers on a series of murders involving Gotham City police officers by a mysterious serial killer only known as The Hangman. Central to the storyline is a territory war between Two-Face and the remnants of the Falcone mob, led by Sofia Falcone. The story brings closure to many characters introduced in Frank Miller's [[Batman: Year One]], and also re-tells of the origins of [[Nightwing|Dick Grayson]], the first [[Robin]], and his adoption by Bruce Wayne.
