Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition Review By James Harvey

Collecting the acclaimed two-part animated adaptation of one of Batman’s most iconic tales, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition presents arguably the best presentation to date for the engrossing DC Universe Movie title. Stacked with a fantastic cast and slick script, this adaptation aptly lays out a curious whodunit? and successfully ramps up the intrigue right to the final moments. While the gradual, building pace of Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition might not sit well with some, this single-narrative version propels the viewers deep into Gotham City’s underbelly for an intriguing and skillfully crafted mystery.

Inspired by the iconic mid-1990s DC Comics story from Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition starts with a string of atrocious serial killings on holidays in Gotham City, sending The World’s Greatest Detective into action. Here, Batman must confront both the city’s organized crime ring and a unified front of costumed foes while also attempting to apprehend a holiday-themed serial killer bumping off mobsters left and right. Originally released as a two-part film, here, the mystery behind Batman: The Long Halloween unfolds as an extended single-feature narrative.

While this animated adaptation already worked nicely in the two-part format it was originally released in, Batman: The Long Halloween legitimately plays out stronger as a single 168-minute feature film. Screenplay writer Tim Sheridan deserves a nod his commendable work on this adaptation, which holds strong in this iteration. It still hits all the right notes as it did in its previous form, but there’s something here that makes this iteration feel a little more grander. Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition feels more lofty in this extended form, and more like an appropriately weighty interpretation of the popular Batman comic book.

This is helped tremendously thanks to the film’s seamless transition from Part One to Part Two in this form. The use of the end-credit scene from Part One – a funeral scene and the introduction of Poison Ivy – as a bridge to connect both pieces keeps the film moving without any type of awkward bump. The film’s stride never really breaks. Now, the entire adaptation unrolls with a slow, deliberate pace from start to finish for over two-and-a-half hours, though it’s occasionally disrupted by flashes of violence.

When it comes to the touted “mature content” added to this release, it amounts to really nothing more than slightly bloodier violence. This includes more red splatters, bloodier wounds and victims, and the occasional teeny-tiny bits of added animation here and there to accommodate the intense fisticuffs. The Chinatown fight sequence and the New Year’s Eve murder are very noticeably punched up, for example, as is the film’s climactic set piece.

batman the long halloween movie review

Looking first the video, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition comes with a bold 2160p UHD 4K transfer, with deep blacks and crisp colors. The transfer here makes the assorted shades of black, brown and grey distinguishable and deep (Batman’s cape and cowl look especially glorious on occasion). Colors pop and look crisp, are nuanced and complimentary to the darkened look and feel of the film. It looks fantastic, with every last bit of detail as clear as can be, and a visible step up from the regular 1080p version. Any issues with the transfers are essentially non-existent.

Similarly, the DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio mix is a powerhouse of a sound mix. Action scenes pack a punch, sounding full and robust, and quieter scenes are as clean and clear as can be. Everything about this transfer is stellar with nary an issue to be found.

Bonus extras are, unfortunately, not as brimming as the film’s transfer. Outside of the new 25-minute featurette, all other additional content is either promotional or previously-available material. The “Batman: The Long Halloween – Evolution Of Evil” featurette is a legitimately interesting look at the different themes and characters who inhabit Batman: The Long Halloween , along with the origins of the original comic’s creation. Members from the animated adaptation chime in here, including producers Krieg and Lukic and screenplay writer Sheridan, along with original Batman: The Long Halloween scribe Jeph Loeb, among a few other others. It’s an informative featurette which does a nice job of spelling out some of the themes and motivations present in Halloween , and we get a neat look at some film noir classics from 40s, but it’s unfortunately not a particularly deep dive into the movie itself and its production. Still, a lot of what is covered here applies and makes for an entertaining companion watch to the main feature. There are also spoilers, including Holiday’s identity, so don’t watch this before the main feature.

From there, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition features four episodes of Batman: The Animated Series – “ Two-Face, Part One ,” “ Two-Face, Part Two ,” “ Christmas with the Joker ,” and “ It’s Never Too Late ” – and a smattering of trailers and previews for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , Batman: Gotham by Gaslight and Batman: Hush . The release wraps up with regular Blu-ray and digital copies of the movie.

Not ported over from the original Blu-ray releases are a couple Sneak Peek featurettes and the two DC Showcase animated shorts – The Losers and Blue Beetle – but those shorts can be found as part of the recent DC Showcase – Constantine: The House of Mystery release. To note, neither Part One or Part Two included any type of featurette or documentary on either release.

While it’s not as robust as it should be, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition is still a fine showing for the excellent animated feature, especially the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray edition. Given the ambitious animated feature, and even the pedigree of the source material, it does feel as though there should be more bonus features celebrating both. That said, the feature itself looks fabulous, surpassing any of the other different releases out there, which does help make up for the small bundle of bonus content. It is worth the upgrade for those who already own the two Blu-ray releases, but no one would be faulted for waiting for a slight price dip or sale before purchasing.

Even though it’s hard to shake the feeling that this release should’ve been better, Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition is definitely worth scooping up. Whether it’s an upgrade from the previous Blu-rays or purchasing the film for the first time, the movie’s 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release is unquestionably the way to go. With a video and audio presentation that can’t be beat, and a small but enjoyable smattering of bonus content, it’s the best edition on shelves. Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray comes Highly Recommended to Own! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided The World’s Finest with a 4K UltraHD Blu-ray copy of Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition for the purpose of this review, though that had no impact on the product’s final assessment.

batman the long halloween movie review

When I was just entering high school in 2012, Warner Bros. had plans to release  The Hobbit –  a brand new movie set in Middle Earth, and a sort-of prequel to Peter Jackson’s  The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Having seen all three of the LOTR movies several times (because who hasn’t), obviously I was very excited to see what the creators were going to do with this new peek into J. R. R. Tolkien’s world.

I was a  little less excited when they said they’d be making it two movies instead of one – and a little less again when they suddenly revealed it was going to be three, with the final movie being mostly one or two chapters from the original novel. But hey, who cares? This was clearly a creative decision, and not an attempt to make one movie’s worth of content and stretch it out over multiple releases for maximum profit, right?

Anyway, welcome to my review for The Long Halloween, Part One.

batman the long halloween movie review

Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One is a partial adaptation of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s graphic novel of the same name – specifically covering the first four issues of the thirteen-issue series. If you’re concerned that the movie is leaving too much content for  Part Two to cover, you’d be right: the first four issues of the comic do very little in the grand scheme of the story, which has plenty of more natural places to end on. It does, however, have the Joker, who’s marketable enough to give this movie a reason for existing.

The original comic is considered one of the greatest Batman stories of all time, and one of the biggest influences on movies such as  The Dark Knight. That said, people might give several different reasons as to why they think this book is so good. Some would argue it’s an excellent noir that crafts a complex and intricate political thriller for Batman to navigate in his early years, showing the downfall of one of his first and closest friends. Others – insane people, probably – would argue that it’s a genuinely good mystery with a satisfying conclusion. Meanwhile, many would point to Tim Sale’s incredible art, which has cemented itself in Batman’s hall of fame for its iconic mood and style.

batman the long halloween movie review

Naturally, it’s a DC animated film, so you’re going to see almost none of that art style here. However, what we’ve got actually isn’t that bad of a substitute! Beginning with Superman: Man of Tomorrow , recent DC films have had a blockier style to them, thicker lines making the characters stand out among some incredibly detailed backgrounds. While I sometimes feel like the lines can be too thick, the style actually lends itself quite well to an animated noir – it was probably a better idea than attempting to emulate Sale’s style with the budget that they had.

This especially bears fruit during action scenes. There’s some really crisp motion on display here: the choreography of the fights isn’t anything mind-blowing (though that’s a pretty high bar to reach nowadays), but the polish that the staff put into bringing those scenes to life really shows. There’s a high energy to the fights that contrasts well with the slow, ponderous nature of the rest of the movie, so it gives me hope for the apparently faster-paced Part Two .

batman the long halloween movie review

Unfortunately, one of those well-animated fights involves Batman beating up a group of Chinese gangsters, who were created for this movie to replace an Irish mob from the original comic. The creators of the movie said they wanted to put more diversity in their adaptation – Loeb’s comic is incredibly white, and he’s had serious accusations of racism before. That said, I don’t think changing the villains from Irish to Chinese was the way to go, considering their role and fate in the story… especially when you hear screenwriter Tim Sheridan’s explanation as to why they were added.

“There were two reasons why the Irish mob was changed to be the Chinese Triad. One of the reasons was we were looking for opportunities to have more diversity in our cast so it seemed like a place where we could do that. When you look at the original book, there’s not a lot of instances of diversity like that so we felt like that was a good thing to do. More importantly, at the time in which the book was written and released, we looked at Irish gangs much differently then; we were in a different place politically, with things like the history of the I.R.A., which were very relevant and topical. When Jeph and Tim did the book about the way we saw the Irish back then is not as relevant today. Today, I think the idea of Chinese mobsters is fresh and in our minds now and feels more like a real thing today.” (Source: CBR )

The last sentence honestly makes me a little frustrated, and I’m struggling to find a generous interpretation for it. It’d be different if the movie did make a genuine attempt to diversify its cast, but the only other characters who aren’t white are Montoya, who’s relegated to a non-speaking cameo, and and a black nurse who’s in the movie for only a couple of shots. Judging by this, The Killing Joke and Hush , it feels like DC can’t help but adding new things into their adaptations that serve only to backfire in their faces.

batman the long halloween movie review

Not everything about this movie backfires, though – the characters and the actors performing them are actually really well-done. Many of the characters have one too many cliched lines that bring the movie down a little – Batman, Carmine Falcone and Catwoman specifically – but their actors deliver them with sincerity, and clearly put the work in to make their characters feel believable.

Jensen Ackles has grown up since his performance as Jason Todd in  Under the Red Hood , and I mean that in a good way. While his Jason is still my favourite of the two performances, there’s not a single moment where I didn’t believe him as Batman. His Bruce felt a little flat at points, but I feel like that was more to do with his lines – which really aren’t much to write home about. One change to Batman’s character that I did like was that he didn’t expect to be a detective in this universe, which puts him on the back foot and justifies why he doesn’t do the best job of solving this mystery.

When it comes to supporting characters, Josh Duhamel’s Harvey Dent is fantastic. It becomes incredibly easy to believe him as a character on two sides of the law – especially seeing as the movie likes to hit you over the head with foreshadowing, as if we don’t know exactly what Harvey’s going to become in the next movie. The late Naya Rivera’s performance as Catwoman is great, and she balances her double life as Selina and her masked counterpart with a lot of authenticity and respect to the character, playing a wide variety of different emotions throughout the movie. Troy Baker’s Joker is exactly what you heard in Arkham Origins , so do with that information what you will. I’d also like to give shoutouts to Jack Quaid’s Alberto Falcone and David Dastmalchian’s Calendar Man, who both do a lot of work with what little they’re given.

batman the long halloween movie review

Honestly, my main problems with the movie are all pretty fixable: really, I don’t think it would be too hard to cut this movie down significantly and edit it into Part Two . This is about an hour and a half-long movie, and it can certainly be shorter – almost every scene has a second betweeen each line of dialogue where absolutely nothing happens, and it makes the scenes feel incredibly stilted and unnatural. If you, as an editor, do nothing but cut out the awkward silences in this movie, I genuinely think you could get this movie down to a length where it could naturally fit into the second half of the story. As it stands, the movie is frankly pretty boring.

The mixing of the music is also  incredibly weird, because what appears to be a fantastic soundtrack is often completely forgotten in long scenes that could do with, at the  very least, an ambient noise befitting the tone of this noir movie. Instead, we have to sit down and watch a long chase scene between Batman and Catwoman, accompanied by nothing but the rain and their footsteps. It gets to a point where a music swell will happen and I’ll find myself visibly excited, only to sit back down when the music cuts out again.

The second half of the movie is, admittedly, a bit more interesting than its much slower first half. I hate to say it, but Joker really does breathe some fresh air into the film, and it’s exciting to watch Batman balance his fight with the clown prince while still attempting to figure out the mystery looming over him. I don’t think this completely saves the movie, but it does manage to give me hope that this will play a lot better when watched back-to-back with Part Two.

batman the long halloween movie review

All this being said, what I REALLY want to talk about is how they handled the ending. This movie adaptation changes a lot of little things from the book while trying to keep in the spirit of the original, and those decisions range from harmless to… well, what I said earlier about the Chinese Triad. However, the ending of the movie does make one decision that I worry will seriously affect how the creators conclude the story. See, at the climax of the movie, Batman arrives on Carmine Falcone’s ship to find–

Oh, I’m sorry. You’re going to have to pay twenty dollars to read part two of this review.

I suppose it must be frustrating to get cut off in the middle of reading this, abruptly and unnaturally – as if I didn’t know how to write a proper ending, so I just sort of peetered off into nothing. I wouldn’t know what that sensation’s like, of course.  Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One has far too much respect for its audience to do that.

batman the long halloween movie review

Recommended If:

  • You like going to a restaurant where the staff kicks you out after they feed you the appetizer.
  • Jensen Ackles’ Batman is enough to get you interested, seeing as he’s finally got the time to do roles outside of  Supernatural .
  • You’re impatient and can’t wait for the inevitable  Parts One and Two double-release, like we got with  The Dark Knight Returns .

This might be the greatest adaptation of Two-Face in a motion picture yet – because in DC’s obsession with splitting things in half, they accidentally released only 50% of a movie. There’s some stuff to like here, from the animation to the music (when it actually shows up) to the performances (when the actors are given something to do). But this is a film that relies entirely on its second half – and seeing as that isn’t out yet, I can only give this half-movie half of a good score.

Score: 4/10

(P.S. Watch out for a pretty good post-credits scene that’s going to be important for the next film!)
