To everyone who made comments about The Batman not being at the top of his game, you have to remember he has only been active around 18-22 months at the start of this case.
@@MarvNARK I've been trying to reconcile the disparate accounts of The Batman's past, and if we accept 1937 as the starting date for Bruce's career, then this takes place only 5-7 days after his first battle with Dr. Karl Hellfern, a.k.a. "Dr. Death", and 13 days before he faces The Monk for the first time.
Batman sure is fortunate to have access to Arkham Asylum where they conveniently have a villain obsessed with the calendar so Batman can ask when the next holiday will be. Otherwise Billionaire Bruce Wayne might have to send Alfred to Walgreens to buy a calendar for $1
I thought the same thing! 😂 Perhaps buying a standard calender would spark rumours that his wealth was almost out, causing WayneTech stocks to plummet, so that was unaffordable - yet he simply didn't want to spend on a custom gold-plated one? Idfk, but it's hilarious!
@@RemyJackson Alfred is worth more than Bruce last I checked and is a stone cold killer from a time period where tactical insanity was a standard. He was a mercenary in the Congo amongst other things.
I appreciate the restraint The Long Halloween had when using Joker. He didn't upstage the main villain. In fact, the joke is he was *trying* to. It's very tasteful usage of the character.
Well she is super fit, that drives up your testosterone. Testosterone drives aggression. It is why black women, who on average have higher testosterone than other females, have a high rate of aggression and violence. So it tracks that Selina being super fit would make her much more aggressive and territorial.
I love when Batman isn’t portrayed as an invincible, “thought of literally everything”, hero. I know he kind of has to be portrayed that way when pairing up and facing against super humans in the justice league, but the best Batman is the one that sticks to Gotham with mostly human villains.
Finally! I love Batman but that love means accepting Batman for who he is, a human that is a great detective and other exceptional human skills. When they try and force Batman on the level of supes.... it does not feel natural I am happy for Batman to fight crime (vs psychos).
so in this version, Catwoman (Selina Kyle) was one of Falconi's illegitimate children I don't think Selina's mother was even shown in the comics, but Selina's father was often portrayed as a gangster in any case, neither of her parents were in Selina's life much, she grew up an orphan and taught herself how to fight, eventually becoming Catwoman
Personally i like the way the tv show Gotham handle her backstory mostly. too bad they didn't go for the longest night in the series but i know they were copyright issue with what character and storyline they could use.
Gotta respect how Hatter and Scarecrow never bothered to try and take off bat's mask and see who is underneath, even when they had him tied up. I wouldn't call it honorable, but more like there is simply a sense of decorum. Also, who would believe them if they tried saying they knew Batman's identity? But still. Very decent of them.
reminds me of a scene where harley unmasks batman "for the joker" but he loses it on her...but at the same time its so true....who the hell would believe them even if they said who he was...I mean for us yeah its blatantly obvious the richest man in gotham...kinda has to be the dude going around with billions in tech and equipment acting as a vigilante... but meh can't really talk shit about that that trope when superman just wears glasses lol
@@chrisnotyou Eh, not really. Bad writing is when you don't create any reasonable answers to such important question. For example joker? It's fun, discovering his identity would run the mystery. Scarecrow? He wants to cause fear, if he reveal batman identity, there will be no fear of anyone discovering it. Hatter? I dont know who that is
@@michasokoowski6651 Its just a hand wave. Its a kids show, I doubt they are putting too much effort into it. I can see the Joker not wanting to know, or at least not revealing it. The rest tho, the rest of them would be chomping at the bit to find out who he is as their motivation is just crime and not fun chaos. Crime that they would be far more effective at if the Batman were out of the picture.
@@chrisnotyou Well, it still depends on the writer. If they make penguin not take the occasion? Then yeah, it's weird. Also, a "kid's show"? If you treat anything as a "kids show" when writing , then yeah, it will be a bad writing, there are many "kids shows" with writing far superior to popular movies... not to mention that a lot of batman movies/comics aren't for kids at all.
Not gonna lie, my favorite part is seeing Selena there and Wally and Ollie coming over for Halloween like it's nothing, cuz they're in costume. Best buds. Also, seeing Two Face being an absolute unit, willing to take the blame for his wife, you gotta admit... he's dedicated as all hell. He took the hit for his wife.
@@joshuarobinson6011 "Sorry I wasn't anywhere to help you through this whole year, Bruce." In all fairness Bruce is kind of a jerk who rarely accepts help, but they didn't even try. In the comic it isn't shown Batman even knew them around that time, at least.
Lol she started off as a sinister femme fatale that manipulates men and actually has ambitions to take over the world, and now her entire identity is reduced to green hippie lesbian who just wants her safe space, yeah she can control plants too i guess.
The main thing I hated about this/bugs me is letting her go. "Holiday's done." Walks off. Like wtf Bats? She's a serial killer. You wouldn't let Joker walk off if he decided to stop killing. He'd have to answer for his crimes
@@jonnypena7651 He had it but he just stood there and watched her continue to burn them. Specially the gun with her fingerprints. And yea if he did bring her she probably would've told the cops anyway. The crime family, maybe slide but Alberto was just guilty of not being able to stand up to his father when she was pregnant. And he got shot and sliced up. Where be the justice for him Bats?
@blackbirdfilms1966 the only thing is that she had already destroyed all the important evidence, like the marriage photos and her connectionto the Falcone family. Harvey had already taken the fall for everything so the last couple of guns she is destroying wouldn't matter. It's all still in Harvey's house and Batman probably realized even if she confessed that Harvey would still try to take the heat. Meaning in the eyes of the law it would just look like a wife trying to save her husband. In the end nothing would change since they still have other cases that prove Harvey is a killer, like killing Carmine. So Harvey is taking the rap for everything whether Batman brings her in or not.
In the comic, Batman didn't show up when she was destroying the evidence. His scene ended with 2face saying "You do know there were two holiday killers, right?" And Batman and someone (Its been a while, so I think it was Gordon) were both talking about the possibility of him telling the truth, or if it was just his fixation on 2s acting up.
It's more that Calendar Man has a madly obsessive streak for committing murders and crimes on specific holiday events. While Batman can easily deduce things and do detective work, and sure, he can buy a calendar like anybody else, he doesn't have the same obsessive compulsive nature of villains like Calendar Man. Due to Holiday seemingly sharing some similar traits to Calendar Man's own modus operandi, Batman essentially used Calendar Man's deductive streak based on his own obsessions for holiday events to figure out when exactly Holiday is most likely to strike. My guess is the narrator for this video left out a great deal of context or worded things in such a way it downplayed Calendar Man's use and value to Batman who has a very logical and rigid mind that is a bit more broad spectrum and not obsessed with holidays to do things. Also Calendar Man and Holiday know way more about celebratory events than anybody else, I would say, so much so, Batman probably couldn't figure out which holiday the criminal would strike. I suspect Holiday didn't kill on EVERY single event, making it harder to predict when they'd strike.
I was honestly just wondering why they didnt give that money to some random charity. I mean like cmon. Imagine the irony of using crime money to fund a reform program to help criminals. Gotham certainly aint lacking criminals.
@@schnitzelfritzel6287 Cus the villains would prolly just track it back to the charity and either destroy it out of spite or take it over as another front to recoup their losses. If they can get Poison Ivy to mind control Bruce for a couple of weeks for his wealth, what makes you think they wouldn't do the same to a couple of higher ups in the charity that suddenly and miraculously got tens of millions of dollars right after they lost tens of millions recently?
Which shows how stupid the writers are, Batman is captured next scene is a clip worth of bullets emptied into his head no more vigilante beating them up.

On of the best animated Batman movie I've watched. The art style really strick to the original design of the series, and the story is great. It's one of Batman best Two Faces origin, it made sense and really see that he's not a literally lunatic or an insane man. He's still seek justice and even willingly given himself up to Gordon. The death and end of Falconi's family was very unfortunate, yet I like how it was laid down. One by one, they get taken down and they still don't know who really did it. Feels bad for Calendar man though, that scene was funny when he just goes "Oh sure, leave me here...not that I'm important. Break the crazy midget why don't you- oh you did..." Really wish I could find the comic to read.
@discorddiscord2647 mate, if you did watch the whole video from the first place, you wouldn't need to come here asking me. It's literally said in the intro.
It's wild just how bloody and brutal this movie is. People getting body-horror modified into mummified smiles, a guy getting slashed apart by a propeller, another dead with gunshot wounds in a bathtub, etc. This is why DC has its niche and is loved by a lot of people; it's not afraid to portray its own stories. Meanwhile Marvel heroes have full-blown smash fights thrown through buildings and the damage is some scuffed clothing or a bruise. Civilians basically never die, too. No collateral damage. It's wild that Marvel has world-ending threats but never seems to have a big death toll. I know there are exceptions to this, like the Hulk various comics being particularly gruesome, but in general you can watch a Marvel movie of any sort and know what's going to happen 5 minutes later at all times.
@@lolstalgic9602 The fantasy of having fights in populated areas without significant collateral damage is pretty ridiculous. It shouldn't be portrayed as heroic to even perform such acts unless there is no other way. It is such a basic principle that police and military answer to oversight for just one gunshot with innocent people around the area of plausible collateral damage. We're talking instead about strength far beyond something as pitiful as a gun. The strength to break buildings in half, for example, which often happens while fighting (with no deaths). I'm not a Dragonball fanboy or anything, but a part of what makes that show so appealing to people is the wholesome worry the heroes have for civilians, going out of their way to insist on fights being out in the middle of nowhere.
@@fuzzwobble Realism died along time ago in the world of superheroes. If I recall correctly, the Daredevil show did mention that hundreds died in the Chitari attack during the Avengers movie, so it's not completely absent. Still, the less casualties the better, even in a fictional setting
The only problem here is that she's not shown to be a martial artist or expert of any kind. Just one day she thought of killing major people in the city and everything went to her favor no matter if it's Batman or the expert Villains, she's shown to be above them all. Just kill and escape meanwhile no other villain is that lucky to do that multiple times. Either she has Flash's powers or Martian Manhunter's invisibility.
this is why I preferred the comic ending: it was the people you'd least suspect, but could feasibly do it. Alberto Falcone, because who is going to suspect a man of killing his own family, and Harvey Dent, because who would suspect the district attorney (... In Gotham? literally everybody)
Having always been a fan of animated batman movies I have had this on my watch list for months and so this video definitely gives me more of an idea to what I would be getting into if I ever watched the movie. Thank you for the great video.
The long Halloween pt. 1 & 2 are probably the best animated Batman movies ever. In terms of story, comic accuracy (I know I know, its not 100% faithful but it is close) and character design, it is amazing. Voice acting is also perfect. I often forget I am watching animation because I get so immersed in the acting and world they have created. 10/10. I think Jensen Ackles has a real shot of becoming the new voice of Batman after Conroy's passing. Big shoes to fill, but I like his portrayal quite a bit. It's not that awful, goofy voice Bale did in the Nolan trilogy.
It would've been the best animated film if it didn't wanna pull a fast one and change the ending and make Batman act in a way completely out of character. If Batman knew Gilda was involved that chick would've gone to prison, not be allowed to destroy vital evidence right in front of him. That's my biggest problem with many of these comic to animation adaptions DC have been making. They constantly change certain plot points or characters. It ruined the ending to this movie, it completely demolished the entire plot of Hush and that extra original Batgirl story added to The Killing Joke took a spin that made both her and Batman act in way that's so waaaaaaay out of character the entire rest of the movie was tarnished by it.
What would happen when you mix Poison Ivy's phytopheromones and spores, Scarecrow's fear toxin, Joker's laughing gas / poison, and *another random substance of similar yet different origin / nature / etc.* ?
Batman(and a lot of other people) is sure lucky to have Catwoman on his side!!! HOW many times did she save him??? I think I counted 4 times AFTER I started counting...
One change in the of interest to me from the comic to the animation is the mobsters son. In the comic he was straight up creepy, you could practically hear the Evil Scientist voice from those Bugs Bunny toons. In the animation he suddenly becomes almost sympathetic, a regular college kid with big dreams who wants nothing to do with his Mobster father's plan for him. It's an interesting change, but I wonder what brought it about? What was the process that lead to this redesign?
The Quality of Animated Movie also depends on voice acting crew and the animation apart from the Stroyline. So it is a major concern and needs a lot of care
Yeah. It none of them actually teamed up or aides batman in finding out who Holiday is more action happened at Arkham Asylum than any aiding batman did
20 Million? That literally looks like 20 Billion. Which leads me to the thought of, how much it costs to make that much money. What a perplexing concept. Paying, for money.
i always thought the bat signal was some special private meeting. but if others are shown here, why not just jump batman and gordan and off them both if youre a villain?
@@SecondLookTM You are telling me that Joker could hijack a plane, tv station, heck WHOLE arkham asylum if game is cannon etc. but sneaking in a single building which might not be the tallest one is something he could not manage. PLOT HOLES.
Most of Batman's villains are insane. Heck, it's called Arkham Asylum, not the Gotham City Jail. Those that have the power to fight Batman and the entire Gotham PD on their own turf either have better things to do or are having much too much fun playing games with "Batsy" to end it all in such a dull yet efficient fashion. The rest are trying to avoid Batman altogether.
@@hamzaahmad1345they probably see it as too easy. Joker is all about theatrics as much as actual destruction, baiting him at the bat signal sounds so low brow that he’d chuck that plan out almost immediately.
I mean from my understanding like 99% of villains actually respect batman. Although to be fair I cant see why some lowlife criminal couldnt just set up a sniper position on a neighbouring roof and do so at his own violition. But honestly them not getting assasinated on the roof is literally the least plot-holey thing in the DC universe. Not gonna talk about how theres like 50 villains all locked up in a little asylum, all of which repeatedly break out and could easily just destroy the entire police department and thereafter city?
I love this animated show of batman. it shows a real crime detective of batman's purpose and not jut him being a plot armor all the time, it also showed his vulnerability.
I loved the tone and graphics of the movie, really gave off that Gotham feel from the show and from Christopher Nolans movies. What I didn't like was the title because I was literally expecting it all to be on Halloween you know?
I was thinking the same thing like Batman on trash in this, getting poisoned, mind controlled, captured and shit lol. Then he is taking uneducated guesses about who Holiday is, Finds out, and lets her go, he is clowning right now like "bro, wtf are u doing?" lol
Wait, ain't no way that big pile of cash at 2:02 amounted to over 20 million. In $100 bills... And it's definitely NOT a penthouse; that's a warehouse if you didn't notice
is anyone else concerned about how the physical body of Holiday is clearly a buffed up and beefed up man? Not a petite woman in disguise? It's like either sloppy animation or a subtle suggestion that she's not the killer
Why Gilda got the abortion is beyond me. If she had truly wanted her baby she would have fought Falcone like a mad fiend to keep it and her marriage to Alberto. She had a choice, but she refused to use it. If anyone ever demanded that I got an abortion, I would fight them on it. Let this be a lesson to you ladies, if someone wants you to get rid of a baby that you love, fight for that baby like your life depends on it.
@@thekirbycrafter7229 so she couldn't have just shot him when his back was turned? If you love the baby in your belly then you will do anything to fight for its life. There are no excuses for her actions.
@@SecondLookTMThat is not true, as was already pointed out to you in another comment thread. Falconi was a main villain in the story but Batman wasn't after Falconi for the whole movie, he was after Holiday, since Batman doesn't believe in killing his enemies but Holiday is going around killing and Batman sees that as being just as evil. Plus during the fight scene in Faconi's office Batman is protecting him from being ganged up on by all the other villains but fails to protect him. Batman wants him to go to prison, not be murdered.
Appreciate the thoroughness and effort that went into this, but, they really need to check the verbiage used it really detracts from the overall enjoyment of the video.
DAMN, id hate to have to live there bruh. If it ain't mobster shit going down its crazy ass villains in the loose lol I feel bad for bats even tho he kinda bat shit crazy himself lol
Never felt that Batman and Catwoman are incompatible, and here’s why: “Batman! Why aren’t you pursuing the notorious cat burglar, Catwoman?” Batman: “Once I’ve captured all the murderers, rapists, drug kingpins, hitmen, and deranged meta humans posing imminent threat to life and limb, I’ll get right on with the nonviolent offenders.” Reporter: “But, this is Gotham! You’re *never* going to be done with those on that first list!!!” Batman: “………”
I mean, it IS low priority. Few gems or cash or whatever is nothing next to human trafficking, drug trafficking, murder and all other crimes, that involve actual human life.

It's one of Batman best Two Faces origin, it made sense and really see that he's not a literally lunatic or an insane man. He's still seek justice and even willingly given himself up to Gordon.
The death and end of Falconi's family was very unfortunate, yet I like how it was laid down. One by one, they get taken down and they still don't know who really did it.
Feels bad for Calendar man though, that scene was funny when he just goes "Oh sure, leave me here...not that I'm important. Break the crazy midget why don't you- oh you did..."
Really wish I could find the comic to read.
Which movie is this ?
@discorddiscord2647 ....mate did you watch the video?
@@AngeryCrow I did but if you write justice league 100+ movies show up
@discorddiscord2647 mate, if you did watch the whole video from the first place, you wouldn't need to come here asking me. It's literally said in the intro.
@@discorddiscord2647Batman Long Halloween , it has a pt 2 as well.
It's wild just how bloody and brutal this movie is. People getting body-horror modified into mummified smiles, a guy getting slashed apart by a propeller, another dead with gunshot wounds in a bathtub, etc. This is why DC has its niche and is loved by a lot of people; it's not afraid to portray its own stories.
Meanwhile Marvel heroes have full-blown smash fights thrown through buildings and the damage is some scuffed clothing or a bruise. Civilians basically never die, too. No collateral damage. It's wild that Marvel has world-ending threats but never seems to have a big death toll.
I know there are exceptions to this, like the Hulk various comics being particularly gruesome, but in general you can watch a Marvel movie of any sort and know what's going to happen 5 minutes later at all times.
Marvel heroes kill their villains DC don't
You say that as if it's a good thing. Superheros are supposed to minimize casualties and collateral damage, even if it's not realistic.
@@lolstalgic9602 The fantasy of having fights in populated areas without significant collateral damage is pretty ridiculous. It shouldn't be portrayed as heroic to even perform such acts unless there is no other way.
It is such a basic principle that police and military answer to oversight for just one gunshot with innocent people around the area of plausible collateral damage. We're talking instead about strength far beyond something as pitiful as a gun. The strength to break buildings in half, for example, which often happens while fighting (with no deaths).
I'm not a Dragonball fanboy or anything, but a part of what makes that show so appealing to people is the wholesome worry the heroes have for civilians, going out of their way to insist on fights being out in the middle of nowhere.
@@fuzzwobble Realism died along time ago in the world of superheroes. If I recall correctly, the Daredevil show did mention that hundreds died in the Chitari attack during the Avengers movie, so it's not completely absent. Still, the less casualties the better, even in a fictional setting
Green Arrow and Flash show up.
Bruce, "Aren't you both a little too old to be Trick or Treating?"
Or not helping as a whole year of Holiday murders happen
The only problem here is that she's not shown to be a martial artist or expert of any kind. Just one day she thought of killing major people in the city and everything went to her favor no matter if it's Batman or the expert Villains, she's shown to be above them all. Just kill and escape meanwhile no other villain is that lucky to do that multiple times. Either she has Flash's powers or Martian Manhunter's invisibility.
this is why I preferred the comic ending: it was the people you'd least suspect, but could feasibly do it. Alberto Falcone, because who is going to suspect a man of killing his own family, and Harvey Dent, because who would suspect the district attorney (... In Gotham? literally everybody)
Having always been a fan of animated batman movies I have had this on my watch list for months and so this video definitely gives me more of an idea to what I would be getting into if I ever watched the movie. Thank you for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
what movie is this one?
Batman Long Halloween
The long Halloween pt. 1 & 2 are probably the best animated Batman movies ever. In terms of story, comic accuracy (I know I know, its not 100% faithful but it is close) and character design, it is amazing. Voice acting is also perfect. I often forget I am watching animation because I get so immersed in the acting and world they have created. 10/10. I think Jensen Ackles has a real shot of becoming the new voice of Batman after Conroy's passing. Big shoes to fill, but I like his portrayal quite a bit. It's not that awful, goofy voice Bale did in the Nolan trilogy.
Even better than under the red hood?
No Two Faces Tragedy is close but Jason's story is so much more tragic
I imagine mind control attacks the victim's mind, whereas the pheromones merely rewire or work with it in a way.
I mean, in Bale’s defense, the mask apparently contributed a lot to his voice.
It would've been the best animated film if it didn't wanna pull a fast one and change the ending and make Batman act in a way completely out of character. If Batman knew Gilda was involved that chick would've gone to prison, not be allowed to destroy vital evidence right in front of him. That's my biggest problem with many of these comic to animation adaptions DC have been making. They constantly change certain plot points or characters. It ruined the ending to this movie, it completely demolished the entire plot of Hush and that extra original Batgirl story added to The Killing Joke took a spin that made both her and Batman act in way that's so waaaaaaay out of character the entire rest of the movie was tarnished by it.
What would happen when you mix Poison Ivy's phytopheromones and spores, Scarecrow's fear toxin, Joker's laughing gas / poison, and *another random substance of similar yet different origin / nature / etc.* ?
It creates the most evil Super Villain ever. My Mother in Law!
Watch Young Justice and find out!
@@bigcountry5977 dudeeeeeeeee😂
You forgot to add bane's venom
What you get is Solomon Grundy, minus the mind of Cyrus Gold.
Wow. That title is not even remotly true.
Batman(and a lot of other people) is sure lucky to have Catwoman on his side!!! HOW many times did she save him??? I think I counted 4 times AFTER I started counting...
One change in the of interest to me from the comic to the animation is the mobsters son. In the comic he was straight up creepy, you could practically hear the Evil Scientist voice from those Bugs Bunny toons. In the animation he suddenly becomes almost sympathetic, a regular college kid with big dreams who wants nothing to do with his Mobster father's plan for him.
It's an interesting change, but I wonder what brought it about? What was the process that lead to this redesign?
I'm guessing because no one these days likes the 'Evil for evil's sake' villain, they want nuance and character depth.
@@SH-qs7ee Could be.
But isn't that ,Joker's whole thing? And Evil Morty?
This Animated series was very very good due to the stellar voice acting crew and the animation.
Who cares
The Quality of Animated Movie also depends on voice acting crew and the animation apart from the Stroyline. So it is a major concern and needs a lot of care
Catwoman is the real hero in this movie! ☺️💯❤️
But Poison Ivy is the best part of this show.
I like how the title has nothing to do with the video
Carmine was Batman's Enemy after all. All the Villains came after Carmine too.
Yeah. It none of them actually teamed up or aides batman in finding out who Holiday is more action happened at Arkham Asylum than any aiding batman did
RIGHT! Lol
One of the most interesting Recaps I've seen! Really enjoyed the spooky theme!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Could you please tell me the name of this movie 🎥
@@SecondLookTMcould you please tell me the name of this movie 🎥
Batman Long Halloween
@@SecondLookTM thanks
You know, they didn't HAVE to show Albeato being slashed up by the ships propeller, I love that DC shows aren't afraid to show brutality
Wow I wonder how the kid would’ve reacted if he knew that he showed up dressed as Batman and got candy from the real Batman. And the Batman’s house.
20 Million? That literally looks like 20 Billion. Which leads me to the thought of, how much it costs to make that much money. What a perplexing concept. Paying, for money.
I had seen part 1 of this movie...part II was unavailable...So thank you very much for making this video.
It was well done. (Y) A big thumbs up, sir.
Thank you very much for the comment. it means a lot to us. keep watching sir
What movie is this
I got part 2 also
@jacorianallen8757 Batman Long Halloween
@@SecondLookTMwhat’s it called?
One of the best Batman animated movies
Also, who in their right mind would stick a baby nipple to a muzzle? And how many lugers Gilda has???
Its more of a calling card
I think a woman who lost her child despite wanting the child 's existence and gone rather cuckoo from it. Pacifier seems to be prefered choice
Every villains had own roles to help, others to make own fight. - Batman.
The hell is this. Batman losing every fight, being saved by someone?! The hell!?
Selena the real MVP
Did his wife put on a muscle suit because the Holiday killer looked pretty buff to be her 😂😂😂😂
i always thought the bat signal was some special private meeting. but if others are shown here, why not just jump batman and gordan and off them both if youre a villain?
It is on the Rooftop of Gotham Police Depratment
@@SecondLookTM You are telling me that Joker could hijack a plane, tv station, heck WHOLE arkham asylum if game is cannon etc. but sneaking in a single building which might not be the tallest one is something he could not manage. PLOT HOLES.
Most of Batman's villains are insane. Heck, it's called Arkham Asylum, not the Gotham City Jail. Those that have the power to fight Batman and the entire Gotham PD on their own turf either have better things to do or are having much too much fun playing games with "Batsy" to end it all in such a dull yet efficient fashion. The rest are trying to avoid Batman altogether.
@@hamzaahmad1345they probably see it as too easy. Joker is all about theatrics as much as actual destruction, baiting him at the bat signal sounds so low brow that he’d chuck that plan out almost immediately.
I mean from my understanding like 99% of villains actually respect batman. Although to be fair I cant see why some lowlife criminal couldnt just set up a sniper position on a neighbouring roof and do so at his own violition. But honestly them not getting assasinated on the roof is literally the least plot-holey thing in the DC universe. Not gonna talk about how theres like 50 villains all locked up in a little asylum, all of which repeatedly break out and could easily just destroy the entire police department and thereafter city?
This is actually a great story and doesn't make batman all powerful with plot armor
Thanks for sharing this, truly excellent content!
Much appreciated!
Never seen Batman take so many L 😮
That may just take the prize in the 'WTF Vid Title' competition.
Bruhh they made batman soft ash in this movie catwoman stay saving him
So they overshadowed Batman in his own show.
I love this animated show of batman. it shows a real crime detective of batman's purpose and not jut him being a plot armor all the time, it also showed his vulnerability.
I loved the tone and graphics of the movie, really gave off that Gotham feel from the show and from Christopher Nolans movies. What I didn't like was the title because I was literally expecting it all to be on Halloween you know?
Great video, appreciate you sharing it!
Having already seen both parts and now watching this man was the bottle nipple such a clue.
Dunno why when i saw the title my mind instantly went to "batman has cancer the villains go to visit him for their goodbyes"
That's some imagination you got
lol
strong independent catwoman saves helpless batman on multi-ple occasions
Just realized that Alberto tried to kiss his sister...
So Catwoman saved Batman thrice here? What a joke!
Man hasn’t read many Batman comics
Batman let the holiday killer go so I dunno y he was investigating in the first place smh
I was thinking the same thing like Batman on trash in this, getting poisoned, mind controlled, captured and shit lol. Then he is taking uneducated guesses about who Holiday is, Finds out, and lets her go, he is clowning right now like "bro, wtf are u doing?" lol
Wait, ain't no way that big pile of cash at 2:02 amounted to over 20 million. In $100 bills... And it's definitely NOT a penthouse; that's a warehouse if you didn't notice
is anyone else concerned about how the physical body of Holiday is clearly a buffed up and beefed up man? Not a petite woman in disguise? It's like either sloppy animation or a subtle suggestion that she's not the killer
Epic video as always 😏
Thanks 😋
Yet another great Batman story.
I loved the art style in this show
Batman: My identity is a secret.
Hood and Flash: How bout we just show up?
This seems like it’s less like a superhero film and more like a murder mystery.
You have a point
That's not a bad thing with Batman. He is a detective, and a lot of stories forget that.
Great show guys, thank you
The pistol in the video that Holiday is using might be a Stoeger Luger.
Poison Ivy hypnotising Carmine Falcone would have led to dominion over all of Gotham.
That would be a great thing
Poison Ivy has to be one of the sexiest female villans ever
THE sexiest by far. DC has destroyed her character. She needs to get away from Harley and return to her early roots including her original outfit!!!
@@randydownes9116 to mke Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy was the only good thing about teh Batman And Robin movie
@@wolvie667 I can’t disagree with that. She did a great job as Poison Ivy.
The fact that villains respect batman and actually care for him
Why Gilda got the abortion is beyond me. If she had truly wanted her baby she would have fought Falcone like a mad fiend to keep it and her marriage to Alberto. She had a choice, but she refused to use it. If anyone ever demanded that I got an abortion, I would fight them on it. Let this be a lesson to you ladies, if someone wants you to get rid of a baby that you love, fight for that baby like your life depends on it.
Dude, its a mafia family. If you dont comply, its either you or your loved ones. In her case, it was probably her or the baby
@@thekirbycrafter7229 so she couldn't have just shot him when his back was turned? If you love the baby in your belly then you will do anything to fight for its life. There are no excuses for her actions.
@@thekirbycrafter7229 there is a difference between being reasonable and being crazy.
Your point would get both of them killed abortion or not.
Fantastic vid!!! Thanks a lot!
Catwoman is a G in this one
That's an odd but welcoming way to ask someone to like and subscribe lol.
I subscribed
Thank You for the compliment mate
When you can’t tell the difference between captain and commissioner, and a warehouse and a penthouse
Ha ha... Mistake
You forgot to mention that the only trick or treater was Dick Grayson. Also, I hope they do a Dark Victory WB animated movie.
"All the Villains come to Batman's Aid against His Ultimate Enemy" when exactly did this happen? lol
Actually Batman's True enemy was Falcone, and All the Villains came to attack him
@@SecondLookTMThat is not true, as was already pointed out to you in another comment thread. Falconi was a main villain in the story but Batman wasn't after Falconi for the whole movie, he was after Holiday, since Batman doesn't believe in killing his enemies but Holiday is going around killing and Batman sees that as being just as evil. Plus during the fight scene in Faconi's office Batman is protecting him from being ganged up on by all the other villains but fails to protect him. Batman wants him to go to prison, not be murdered.
You have a point there
Appreciate the thoroughness and effort that went into this, but, they really need to check the verbiage used it really detracts from the overall enjoyment of the video.
Appreciate your honest feedback
@SecondLookTM hope I didn't come across to harshly. I was simply trying to be as open as possible.
You were nice and Glad you shared your seuggestions
8.45 is the best scene in this whole movie
8:45
There is some kind of late XIXth century feel to Joker's suit and hairdo. It looks good on him.
DAMN, id hate to have to live there bruh. If it ain't mobster shit going down its crazy ass villains in the loose lol I feel bad for bats even tho he kinda bat shit crazy himself lol
Never felt that Batman and Catwoman are incompatible, and here’s why:
“Batman! Why aren’t you pursuing the notorious cat burglar, Catwoman?”
Batman: “Once I’ve captured all the murderers, rapists, drug kingpins, hitmen, and deranged meta humans posing imminent threat to life and limb, I’ll get right on with the nonviolent offenders.”
Reporter: “But, this is Gotham! You’re *never* going to be done with those on that first list!!!”
Batman: “………”
I mean, it IS low priority. Few gems or cash or whatever is nothing next to human trafficking, drug trafficking, murder and all other crimes, that involve actual human life.
to be honest they did a okay adaption on the dc comic the long halloween
Thank you for the upload
My pleasure!
I love when Joker thieves the plane and Batman wars with Joker to seize him down. That part makes me happiness.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Mad Hatter was just happy to be included.
Cat woman really carried in this, didn't she?
Of course they’ll go to his aid, Batman is the only one crazy enough to put homicides in a mental facility to avoid well deserved death penalty.
This commentary feels very much created by AI.
No. This is Voiced by My Voice Over Artist
This is young batman, two face was just created and no robin yet.
The English was bad in the narration.
i remember the first time reading this. the final reveal was amazing
Just curious, Will anything change if you remove batman in this story? He seems like the most useless person character here.
**Just want Second Look to give me random heart like**
And You deserve it
@@SecondLookTM THANK YOU! (batman forever fan~)
Just curious, why dont villains follow the bat signal to its source and blow it up, or set a trap?
It is on the Rooftop of Gotham Police Depratment
@@SecondLookTM 😂😂 good point
@@SecondLookTM The same police department that has been raided by villains before.
I've never heard batman fuck up so much in 1 anime movie. I mean cat woman seems to be the real hero in the movie!
Bruce keeps getting drugged by villains in this. Thank goodness for Selina.
This seems like an Anime without the girls stuff and more realistic face structures
