Posted by The anticipation grows as the Blu-ray release date of a beloved Batman graphic novel adaptation approaches! Inspired by the 1996 DC Comics story, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One circles around a brutal murder on Halloween night connected to The Falcone Crime Family. Recently appearing in Gotham City, Batman works tirelessly to solve the case with GCPD Captain James Gordon and Gotham DA Harvey Dent. As more murders take place on the following holidays, the case grows as the suspect list shrinks. Few are the cases where the World’s Greatest Detective is tested and challenged to his limits, like the Holiday Killer.
The cast and crew behind Batman: The Long Halloween
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the new Batman adaptation consists of a stellar cast including Troy Baker as the Joker, Alastair Duncan as Alfred Pennyworth, Titus Welliver as Carmine Falcone, and Naya Rivera as Catwoman. Praised for his 2010 performance as Jason Todd in Batman: Under the Red Hood, Jensen Ackles returns to the DC animation ring. Ackles will be taking on the voice of Batman/Bruce Wayne for the first time.
At the helm of Director is Chris Palmer (Superman: Man of Tomorrow), and adapting the source material is screenplay writer Tim Sheridan (Superman: Man of Tomorrow). Behind the film curtain are producers Jim Krieg (Batman: Gotham by Gaslight), Kimberly S. Moreau (Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles); Butch Lukic as Supervising Producer, and Michael Uslan and Sam Register as the Executive Producers.
