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

[Otaku-sempai]

IGN already has the trailer for Part 2.

Cast & crew details.

I found the article at The Beat about the trailer. Data has already been submitted to IMDb and the page is being updated. As always, feel free to correct any mistakes or omissions.

I'm guessing Part 2 will be released in early September (the 7th or 14th) since the initial announcement listed this for "Fall 2021". Unless things changed.

Honestly I was expecting clips from Part 1 before a trailer release for the sequel. At this rate we will probably see a trailer for the Deluxe version and have a release date before Part 2 comes out.

 

[SweetShop209]

The description here says Part 2 comes out July 27 (the 11 hear anniversary of Batman: Under The Red Hood, where Jensen Ackles voiced Red Hood) on digital and August 10 on Blu Ray.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has provided the press details for Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two. Click here for more details!

I'm shocked this is all coming out so quickly. The wait between installments for the last two part projects was much longer.

Also, a little weird that they have again separated the digital and home media release. In fact, the whole rollout of this project has been bizarre.

Still, it looks great and that's the important thing.

Shrug. Ok.

I guess it's possible the deluxe edition will come out in October/November instead of early next year.

Super PR Guy is still saying 2022 for the Deluxe Edition on his twitter. Should hear about it later this year, so presumably an early release.

I'm aware but it's very odd they're staying clear of late 2022. Hmm... but come to think of it. Perhaps the bean counters have determined that September to December has a terrible history of sales for new releases.

And looks like the next DCAMU movie is going to be Injustice according to the special features of the blu-ray

There's already a separate topic for Injustice here - "Injustice" Animated Feature Pre-Release News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers). Let's keep this topic about The Long Halloween.

Well, there's the Mortal Kombat Legends sequel (Not confirmed, but the composer has it listed on his site) and the Scooby/Courage DTV, so perhaps they are taking the Fall slots.

Here's a clip from part 1.

Sometimes Alfred must wonder why he even bothers .

Alistair Duncan's now on his third Batman .

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Duncan is brilliant as Alfred. Kudos to Lukic/Gleason for bringing him back once more.

 

[ShadowStar]

I don't see a voice actor for Riddler listed anywhere. Am I missing something? Is his actor one of the additional voices?

Definitely DON'T WATCH the trailer if you don't know the story already. Overall its not very spoiler heavy but Im surprised they include

Spoiler

Two-Face in it, and even more, have him on the cover art

.

I don't like Poison Ivy's voice at all. Everyone else sounds great!

This is so weird!

Spoiler-tagging a certain character out of respect for the fact that you've done the same and I'm replying to your post.

I think he's on the cover art because given the look of the Part One home video release, they need another iconic villain to take centre stage on the Part Two cover. It's Joker for Part One, so

Spoiler

Two-Face

makes sense for Part Two. I agree that it's a spoiler for those who aren't familiar with the story, but I can't imagine who else they would use for the second cover, to follow in Joker's footsteps. On a related note, it's kind of weird that Batman is on both covers. Obviously he has to be, since he's the protagonist and these are both Batman films. But if you put both covers together (as is the temptation, since they look as though they should be paired side-by-side), then it's weird to see two Batmen. Batman doppelganger/clone, anyone?

I don't like watching clips but I couldn't help myself for this one. Alastair Duncan sounds amazing and I love the warmness he brings to the role. One of my favorite Alfreds. Jason sounds great as Bruce.

Hasn't been confirmed to be appearing. Don't think he's appeared in any of the trailers either.

 

[Frontier]

Riddler is kind of...I don't want to say "bit" part, but he's mostly used as comedy relief and not in a very flattering way so I can see some sense in cutting him out. Calendar Man basically makes him redundant in the entire story anyways.

If he's still in it it'll probably just be for a cameo.

 

[Yojimbo]

Tim Sheridan confirmed the scene in the clip was one of the few new ones added to help the narrative structure and it was a nod to another Loeb/Sale story, "Ghosts".

Hmm, didn't think of Riddler as comic relief at all. Though in this adaptation, maybe. Calendar Man should be bit roles as he is the obvious red herring. Bats needs both of them, but to keep story flowing, they should be backgrounds. 5-10 mins of each max.
