with which the original Legends utilized a similar literary format. DC has stated that the 2012-2015 stories of the series are not set in the current Batman continuity. Specials In the 1990s, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale collaborated on three Halloween specials collected as Batman: Haunted Knight that led them to create Batman: The Long Halloween as stated in the introduction to the book by Jeph Loeb. The three specials are titled "Fears" (1993), "Madness" (1994) and "Ghosts" (1995). In the third and last one, based on Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol, Bruce is visited by three spirits on Halloween, that of Poison Ivy (the Spirit of Halloween Past), the Joker (the Spirit of Halloween Present), and a cloaked, skeletal version of Batman (the Spirit of Halloween Yet To Come). Having been immersed so much in stopping crime for nearly two years (the time being Year Two in which the story takes place), Bruce undergoes a change, much like Ebenezer Scrooge, in which he is reminded what it is to be human. Another special released was Batman: Jazz (1995), a three-issue miniseries written by Gerard Jones and Mark Badger.
