What makes this movie Worth Watching
The Long Halloween delves into the transition of Gotham from being ruled by traditional organized crime to the era of the 'freaks,' iconic supervillains that Batman would become synonymous with. It highlights the vacuum of power and the chaos that ensues when the old guard is challenged, forcing Batman to confront a new type of criminal element.
- Excellent voice acting, particularly Jensen Ackles as Batman/Bruce Wayne, delivers a nuanced and compelling performance.
- Faithful adaptation of the acclaimed comic book storyline, capturing the mystery and intrigue of the Long Halloween case.
- Exploration of complex themes such as corruption, the blurring lines between justice and vengeance, and the psychological toll of Batman's crusade.
- The stylish animation and noir atmosphere perfectly complement the story's tone, creating a visually engaging experience.
Fun Facts
- The Holiday Killer's victims are all murdered on holidays, with the weapon of choice often reflecting the holiday itself.
- The Long Halloween story arc significantly influenced Christopher Nolan's film 'The Dark Knight', particularly the portrayal of Harvey Dent's descent into Two-Face.
- The brief appearance of Calendar Man is a nod to his comic book role and provides a subtle hint regarding the nature of the Holiday Killer, though not a direct reveal.

Conclusion to the The Long Halloween is solid and taken as a whole, a fine adaptation to a great graphic novel. It's not to the standards of The Dark Knight Returns animated movie but a step up from Batman: Hush and its lame change to the villain's identity. Some nice character moments and decent voice work but no real stand outs. Looking forward to the release bridging the two parts together and checking it out in one sitting and see how it holds up.
