Gilda Dent, occasionally referred to as Grace, is a fictional character who has appeared in Batman comic books since Detective Comics #66. Associated with her fiancé Harvey Dent, who becomes the criminal mastermind Two-Face, she has since been a recurring character throughout various Batman stories involving him. Her largest role is in the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale collaboration Batman: The Long Halloween, where she became the criminal known as Holiday, a serial killer who killed members of Gotham City's crime families in correlation with holidays in the yearly calendar.
“Remunerated joy, weekends off or annual holidays paid by the boss is like paying to make love. It seems the same but there is something lacking.”
“We take notice of all feasts, and the almanack is part of the common law, the calendar being established by Act of Parliament, and it is published before the Common-prayer Book.”
“I have a theory that "holidays" evolved from the medieval pilgrimage, and are essentially a kind of penance for being so happy and comfortable in our daily lives.”
“Being holiday, the beggars shop is shut.”
