"Batman: The Long Halloween, Parts 1-2" Animated Feature News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Animation looks very slick. Is that Solomon Grundy at the 1:10 mark?

Yep! Born on a Monday!

Yeah, Joker is all over this. In the comics, he definitely isn't all that prevalent. Doesn't matter too much. I'm interested in seeing if they do fix some flaws of the series.

Such as what flaws?

Joker's role in this is kind of giving me Mask of the Phantasm vibes.

IMDb accepted my submission for adding an entry for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two. I was very conservative in what data I included in the submission, not even including writer or director credits until we have some confirmation. Feel free to point out any errors or omissions or submit any corrections or additions yourselves! I know there will be more information in a few weeks or months. I just ask that you don't submit data that has not been verified.

I know.

Isn't the Constantine feature the one collecting all the Showcase shorts together?

Oh, okay. Well, the anchor shorts have so far been longer than the others and have not been used as extra features for the full-length DC Universe animated movies. That's likely to be the case with the Constantine short.

I don't know about 'Part Two', but the title 'Halloween' has been misspelled in the 'Part One' entry.

Well, that will just have to be fixed!

EDIT: Correction submitted.

Well, that's why there's spoiler tags.

Basically, the idea of Holiday being both Harvey & Gilda, in hindsight, was a problem for me. If we had some M. Night-esque flashbacks of the TWO of them colluding . . . maybe. However, we never saw that.

After awhile I chalked it up to Loeb, who can be hit-or-miss.

Earlier than expected (in my view, at least)! Very exciting!

Is this the first DC Universe Movie with no featurettes? Deluxe edition for me 100%!

 

[Yojimbo]

"Interesting" move to make the single releases Blu-ray only on the physical edition side and the deluxe one is exclusively 4K. The featurettes are hit or miss, imo, so it not being there... eh.

There is bonus content, just no documentaries. I guess that's what you mean. I would appreciate the addition of a commentary track though!
