Small Easter eggs
The artist of "Dark Victory", Tim. Purcell refused to join the project because he didn't like the role of Robin. Tim. Purcell said Batman should be more lonely and shouldn't have a partner. And Jeff. Loeb believes it is this loneliness that has led to the collaboration between Batman and Robin.
"The Long Halloween" and "Victory of Darkness" are very good comic books, which reflect the tragic sense of the Batman world as a whole, the more Batman yearns for the light, the closer he is to the darkness, originally he was allied with Harvey Dent and Director Gordon, Harvey Dent was considered to bring light to Gotham City, but Harvey Dent finally fell into the darkness and became a two-faced man after failing again and again in the face of darkness. Commissioner Gordon and his police don't trust Batman either, and even shoot him.
With darkness comes loneliness, and Batman can only face loneliness alone, until Dick Grayson, a boy who resembles him, appears and is no longer lonely in the dark world.
