Batman: The Long Halloween Deluxe Edition (DCU) (Blu-ray)

This is based on Batman's famous graphic novel "The Long Halloween" which served as a big template for Nolan's "The Dark Knight" as it tells the tale of how Batman, Harvey Dent, and Gordon join forces to take down a new mysterious serial killer. It has a few action scenes that were added on which I think help out the pacing of this 3 hour long movie (Both parts 1 and 2). All the performances are stellar, especially Jensen Ackles who I wish could play him in live action as well. The animation is solid and I enjoy the style a lot more than the crayon like outlines of the recent Crisis movies, but it sometimes can feel a little too Archer-like, Bruce Wayne looks incredible similar to him here. The story still resonates all these years later and makes for a great watch for Halloween, as despite it taking place across a year, it still preserves those dark muted tones and scenes inspired by the season. I enjoyed the film more than the actual comic as I feel the comics art style was a bit too abstract for my taste. A great Batman film for fans, but casual viewers may find the excessive length a little distracting.

Great movie

Great deal! This was the first time I was about to find part one and two in the same case. Great movie!

The two individual, animated parts of this feature length film are fantastic, but as a whole, extended movie — THE LONG HALLOWEEN is a truly fantastic spectacle, that extends its reach far and between the world of THE BATMAN. If you haven’t seen the two-part film, this is the one to beat, but strap yourself in — it’s a long narrative and its scale is huge! It’s worth the time and the investment; fitfully entertaining and one of the best adapted screenplays from a graphic novel. There are shapes in this film that will feel familiar to fans of the most recent big-screen THE BATMAN, but this is where it started. Enjoy this THE LONG HALLOWEEN in all its grandiosity!

Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition is a must-watch for any true Batman fan. The animation is stunning, the story is gripping, and the voice acting is top-notch. It masterfully blends mystery, crime, and psychological tension, staying true to the noir roots of the original comic. The pacing is strong, and the Deluxe Edition presents the story as one seamless experience, which makes it even more enjoyable. It’s a perfect mix of detective work, Gotham’s dark atmosphere, and Batman’s inner struggles.

Excellent cartoon

Two movies combined as one! "Batman: The Long Halloween" is one of the greatest Batman stories ever told!
