Batman: The Long Halloween animated movie reportedly in development

January 6, 2019 by Gary Collinson

If a rumour from Revenge of the Fans is to be believed, Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are currently working on a two-part animated movie adaptation of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s classic Dark Knight tale Batman: The Long Halloween.

According to the site, The Long Halloween won’t take place in the shared DC Universe Animated Original Movies universe, but rather a standalone story similar to The Dark Knight Returns, The Killing Joke and Gotham By Gaslight adaptations, and will feature a voice cast that includes Troy Baker, Jensen Ackles, Naya Rivera, Titus Welliver and David Dastmalchian.

If you’re unfamiliar with Batman: The Long Halloween, here’s a synopsis:

“Christmas. St. Patrick’s Day. Easter. As the calendar’s days stack up, so do the bodies littered in the streets of Gotham City. A murderer is loose, killing only on holidays. The only man that can stop this fiend? The Dark Knight. In a mystery taking place during Batman’s early days of crime fighting, Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the greatest Dark Knight stories ever told. 

Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman’s deadly enemy, Two-Face.”
