Alberto FalconeAlthough the youngest Falcone appears to meet his end on New Year's,
Alberto Falcone turns up alive and well in September. After the murder of
Sal Maroni, Falcone is captured by
Batman and
Jim Gordon and is sentenced to death for all the Holiday murders.
It becomes clear that Alberto faked his own death on New Year's Eve. A number of the killings after this point are to cover up that fact. Carmine Falcone's daughter
Sofia tracks down the Gunsmith with intentions of finding out who Holiday is, but finds him dead.
Dolan, the Coroner, is killed because he knows that Alberto is still alive.
Carla Viti is killed as she searches through the police files on Holiday, possibly because of some clue to Alberto being alive is held within. Although the lack of a body cast early suspicion on Alberto, unused
Tim Sale-drawn panels cut in early drafts showed Carmine Falcone weeping over a badly-decomposed corpse after New Year's. These pages were published, in penciled form only, in
The Long Halloween' s hardcover edition.
Alberto's identity as Holiday becomes problematic when the first three attacks are considered.
Johnny Viti was his cousin, albeit a traitorous one.
The Irish were on Falcone's payroll, and
Milos Grapa was Carmine Falcone's trusted bodyguard. There are many theories as to how or why Alberto committed these attacks, but since he has now expired, the truth may never be known. From
Gilda Dent's confession, it can instead be taken that she committed all murders until New Year's. Post-New Year's, after Gilda ends her part in the murders (assuming that her husband,
Harvey Dent, was continuing them), the killings generally benefit the Falcones: Sal Maroni's soldiers, guards, father (who had once attempted to kill Carmine Falcone, Alberto's father) are killed, along with finally Maroni himself.
Alberto's reasons for becoming Holiday are also the subject of debate. In the final issue, he claimed to have been lashing out against his father for never taking him seriously or including him in the family business. Alberto also seemed to be addicted to the dubious fame of being a wanted serial killer, as he appeared proud of his actions to the police in his confession. Also, one of the running themes of the story seemed to be the change in Gotham City from one plagued by mobsters to one ridden with "freaks" such as
The Joker, Poison Ivy, and
Two-Face.
During the follow-up,
Dark Victory, after being released and placed under house arrest, a now-free Alberto was tormented by the voice of his father, which was actually the voice of the
Calendar Man distorted by
Scarecrow's fear toxin, under the orders of Two-Face. During this torment Calendar Man attempted to coerce Alberto into murdering his sister,
Sofia Gigante, and toppling the Falcone crime organization. Alberto rejected the voices before he would shoot Sofia in the manner of a Holiday killing. Two-Face then attempted to use the voices and the corpse of
Janice Porter to convince Alberto to commit suicide, which backfired and allowed Alberto to discover the deception. Calendar Man shot Alberto during the subsequent fight, becoming unable to prevent Sofia from smothering him to death. The character will be portrayed by
Joseph Gordon-Levitt in
Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman film,
The Dark Knight Rises.
