Alberto Falcone is a fictional comic book villain appearing in books published by DC Comics, in particular the Batman books. In addition to being a mobster, he has also made appearances as the Holiday Killer, a serial killer featured in Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory.

Luke Brandon Field portrayed Al Falcone in the DC Extended Universe film The Flash. The character also appeared in the HBO television miniseries The Penguin (2024) set in The Batman shared universe, portrayed by Michael Zegen.

Alberto Falcone first appeared in Batman: The Long Halloween #1 and was created by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.^[1]

Born as the middle child of Gotham City crime lord Carmine Falcone on February 14, Alberto earned a scholarship to Harvard University and received post-graduate education at Oxford. As a young man, he is eager to follow in his father's footsteps as a crime boss, but Carmine rebuffed his son's efforts; it is suggested that Carmine wants him to have a normal life but does not know how to express those feelings. Alberto is nevertheless hurt and angered by the perceived slight, and grows pathologically jealous of his siblings Mario and Sofia.

In Batman: The Long Halloween, Alberto is apparently killed by the Holiday Killer, a vigilante and serial killer known for striking on holidays. It is later revealed that Alberto is the Holiday Killer and faked his death. Following this, he is imprisoned in Arkham Asylum.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}
