Ultimately, there are just too many villains to stop, too much corruption to end and too little time to find "The Holiday Killer". In Loeb and Sale's tale, Gotham City chews up and spits out Bruce Wayne every night. The common thread between all these stories is that Batman cannot defend Gotham on his own. The irony, however, is that Nolan's understanding of Batman and Gotham once again stems from The Long Halloween. Interestingly enough, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman: The Court of Owls reflected Christopher Nolan's take on Batman's role in Gotham City. Through its realistic portrayal of Two-Face, The Long Halloween shaped Nolan's more grounded approach to the villains in The Dark Knight Trilogy.
Even though he still succumbs to fits of violent rage, Loeb and Sale's Two-Face retains his humanity by trying to save his failing marriage. Much like Dent's relationship with Rachel in The Dark Knight, the comic spotlights Dent's struggle to love his wife as a newly disfigured man. After Dent transforms into the monstrous Two-Face, Loeb and Sale continue to humanize the villain through his relationship with his wife. Nolan even lifts "I believe in Harvey Dent" from the comic, as well. Character-wise, Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent is a near replica of Loeb and Sale's heroic yet unhinged depiction of the character. In particular, Nolan's The Dark Knight draws heavily from The Long Halloween's grounded portrayal of realistic villains like Two-Face and Salvatore Maroni.
