  Carmine Falcone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carmine "The Roman" Falcone is a fictional character, a villainous Mafia don in Gotham City, who made his debut in the four part story Batman: Year One, written by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, in 1987.
Falcone's nickname was "The Roman," referencing at least once to his control over Gotham City's mob as "The Roman Empire." Falcone later appeared in a major role in the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale mini-series Batman: The Long Halloween.
Falcone's son, Alberto, confessed to all of the Holiday killings, as he wanted his father to accept him into the family business, but it is important to note Harvey and Gilda Dent are at least somewhat responsible for them.

 Batman: The Long Halloween--Alberto Did It
Carmine mentioned to Maroni on New Year's that all the blood was on his side to make it look like he was NOT backing Holiday when he really was.
Carmine told Carla to go up on deck that same night because he KNEW Alberto was going to fake his own death (because how could he survive a plunge into the icy cold waters of the harbor without some help?) and wanted a witness (118).
Carmine kept up a front of Alberto's non-involvement in the family business in front of everyone (including his sister Carla and his daughter Sofia) so that he would not be suspected.

 BATMAN-IN-COMICS -- COMIC REVIEW: "THE LONG HALLOWEEN"
Carmine Falcone still holds a tight grip on Gotham City, and the threesome of Batman, Captain James Gordon, and D.A. Harvey Dent make a pact to bring down The Roman’s empire without crossing that moral line between the good guys and bad guys.
His nephew, bodyguard, henchmen, and even his son, Alberto Falcone, are all killed.
While the actual story will not be adapted, as Falcone’s movie counterpart was last seen going bananas in Arkham, the themes are what are important.

 KMC Forums - Carmine Folcone:Would he of pulled it off?
I thought it would work quite well,Afterall this movie was more about the origin of Batman and not the villians,so it wouldn't of hurt to have the enimies a bit more ''low key'' so to speak......
Right, because in comics Batman dealt with Falcone in about twenty minutes and totally didn't need to spend two years trying to take him down with no success whatsoever, only to have him actually go down when Harvey Dent murdered him after a series of events that never actually yielded a victory for the protagonist
To think that a man who dresses up as a bat and fights crime couldn't be sufficiently challenged in a plot by a man with Falcone's resources (effectively having sole control over Gotham's underworld) is simply idiotic.
