The Tim Sale appreciation thread

[Keyser Soze]

I just finally read The Long Halloween and am up to Dark Victory, TLH is not that bad but it doesn't have that epic scope like Dark Knight Returns and like Frank Miller's art, it takes time to get accustomed to Tim Sale's art but it's still a good mystery story to read.

WHAT!? The Long Halloween definitely has that epic scale to it. It feels like "The Godfather", meets "Se7en", spliced with "Batman." And "Dark Victory" is just as good. Two of the best comics i've ever read.

But DKR had Batman more involved as he takes out Two-Face, then he fights with the mutant leader in a boxing ring type, then he eludes the police as he's trying to reach Joker after he's killed those people at the David Endochrine show and then Bats fights Joker in the carnival and finally his take down of Superman.

TLH was just "meh".

TLH is not meh.

I love DKR, DV and TLH. Some of my favorite comics. All amazing.

Long Halloween was not epic. It was incredible, but not epic. DKR was written in full fledged operatic mode. THAT was epic.

DKR was great, it was the first Batman GN that I read, but I thought TLH, HK, and DV were better Batman stories. They were more in depth and covered the Detective aspect of Batman much better. (well TLH and DV did) I thought DKR, TLH, and DV were all epic. DKR was just a diffrent kind of story, it really wasn't the version of Batman I liked the most. I still love it, but it's not my favorite.

TIM SALE

 

[Benstamania]

I agree that Sales art takes some time to get used to, I was kinda iffy on it when I first picked up TLH last year. Now though I really enjoy his art, he's very different from everyone else and that's what I like.

Although I doubt I ever really care for his Joker....I just don't like the way he draws him.

 

[Benstamania]

Just to keep this thread going.

I like his Haunted Knight Joker, his Long Halloween Joker.....eh, not so much.

 

[DarkKnightJRK]

He's good, but some of his stuff bother's me.

His Batman, muscle-wise, makes Jim Lee's Batman look wirey. I didn't know that human beings had THAT many muscles on their sides.

Plus, his Catwoman is MEGA-BUTCH. His Selina is awesome--reminds me of Michelle a bit--but Catwoman makes Alex Ross' Wonder Woman look feminine.

The long lower teeth of Joker's just pull me away. GODDAMN.

Still like most of Sale's stuff, but that stuff bothers me a bit.

Does anyone have this image in a wallpaper size? I love it.

 

[Benstamania]

Not sure about wallpaper, but it IS a screen saver from DC. I believe the link is even in this topic. That's where I got it.

 

[spdrknight]

yeah I know about the screensaver but I if a full size version is available I would love it.
