Summary

Batman: Dark Victory is a 13-issue limited series (1999–2000) by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, following Batman: The Long Halloween and regarded as its sequel. Set in Gotham early in Batman's career, the story follows a serial killer known as the Hangman who claims the lives of police officers one after another, leaving a children's-game clue beside each body as the only lead. Trust between Commissioner Gordon and Batman fractures, former ally Harvey Dent has fallen into Two-Face, and Two-Face, the Joker, the Riddler, Catwoman and a host of other villains all become suspects. Batman must seek the truth in the most unexpected place while an orphan boy enters his life—a bond that ultimately leads to the birth of Batman and Robin. This volume is the 13th installment of the series, the concluding part of the 13-issue story; a Chinese-language collected edition was published by World Publishing Corporation in 2024.

Editor's review

穿越武侠的题材并不稀奇,难得的是《逆行武侠》把这些世界当成需要认真经营的地方,而不是简单打卡。作者让主角风萧萧顺着“静心诀”从现代一路向古代“逆向飞升”,每到一个世界都要面对真实的人与事,先知剧情只是起点,如何改、改到什么程度、代价由谁承担,才是故事的重心,这也是很多读者觉得它“值得一看”的原因。全书十余个世界分卷推进,金庸的端正、古龙的奇诡、黄易的宏阔轮番登场,读者可以在一部书里来回换口味;篇幅长、章节多,也让它更适合当作长期的睡前或通勤读物。如果把它看成一部穿越者的长线修行史,那些不断累积的选择,与最后那句“终将回来,把留下的尽数带走”的伏笔,往往比一场场打斗更耐人寻味。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 喜欢金庸、古龙、黄易作品,愿意重走这些武侠世界的读者
  • 偏爱无限流、时空穿梭和多世界长线布局的网文读者
  • 能接受几百万字篇幅、习惯长周期追读的书友
  • 对武侠同人、改写原著命运这类设定感兴趣的读者

Not a good fit for

  • 时间零碎、只想读短篇快节奏故事的读者
  • 对原著人物被大幅改写、剧情被介入较敏感的读者
  • 不习惯网文连载节奏与超长篇幅的读者

Reading tips

  1. 按卷阅读,每读完一个世界稍作停顿,再进入下一个,能更好体会各卷风格差异。
  2. 读到先知式布局时,不妨回想原著中人物的原本走向,更能看出作者的改写用意。
  3. 中期剧情跨度大,可在各卷开头留一份人物笔记,避免遗漏前后呼应。
  4. 主线与“静心诀”相关的伏笔散落全书,结局前可回看早期章节的相关段落。

FAQ

《逆行武侠》是改编还是原创?它与金庸作品是什么关系?
它是萧风落木创作的原创网络小说,但借用金庸、古龙、黄易笔下的武侠世界作为故事舞台,主角以穿越者身份进入这些世界并介入其剧情,属于武侠同人向的无限流写法。
这本书和同名的其他作品是同一本吗?
不是。网上另有书名相似的《逆命武侠行》等作品,作者与内容均不同。《逆行武侠》的作者是萧风落木,首发于起点中文网,主角为风萧萧。
全书有多少字、多少章?完结了吗?
据公开资料,全书约403万字、共530章,最后一章为《沧海桑田(大结局)》,已在2021年完结。各来源统计口径不同,字数略有差异。
需要先读过金庸原著才能读吗?
不必。书中会对所处世界的背景作交代,没读过原著也能跟上主线;但熟悉原著剧情,会更容易理解主角的判断依据与改写的妙处。
