I really like how amateurish Batman was in this movie. Seeing him make fatal mistakes and lose certain confrontations was refreshing. Also, Two-Face was brilliant in this movie possibly in my top 3 favorite Harvy Dent adaptations.
The only problem I have with this list is that they have to be ranked at all! 😉 They are all definitively awesome and every batman fan always chooses these 5...its just a matter of how they order the 5. 🙂
@@StandOnTruth2010 for me theres a clear best. The others im alright not ranking tho, all fantastic. Wish we got more of this in the live action movies
Batman The Long Halloween was pretty interesting. I also loved the ending with Bruce & Selina being together and whatever happens in the next one they better just STAY TOGETHER this time!
@@flashbarry6838 I felt man of tomorrow was slow and really did norhin for his legend and then ww 2 they wont say is this time travel, different universe or what
watching this movie makes me appreciate nolan's trilogy even more. although he created original stories for the movies, he was able to weave in many of the themes and story lines from actual source material. I'm usually not a nerd about loose adaptations, but it's pretty cool when the adaptation sticks very close to the original.
this was so goooooood! oh my goodness this was up to par with Red Hood for me. which is the best animated dc film imho. this was on the same level or arguebly even better!
I had to come back here when I saw the beginning of crisis on infinite earths part one..I realized that flash and green arrow visiting Bruce Wayne felt familiar..so the story just continues from the long Halloween part 2...
I'd imagine it was to fool Sal into suspecting the Roman, to motivate Sal into killing Carmine over Luigi. Instead Sal suspects Harvey Dent, so Gilda's plan backfires and she creates Two Face indirectly who then does kill Roman. Of course the flaw in the film is that if revenge against the Roman was the bottom line why was she hesitant to kill him herself directly, and why wait so long to do it?
Didn't completely love all the changes, specifically Batman just letting a serial killer go. Sorry, would never happen. It also closes a few holes in the original story while opening a few new ones. What I didn't realize on first viewing is that Gilda lied to Batman. Because we SAW the Holiday killer as a man several times. Which means harvey Dent was also Holiday, which never made sense in the original comics (the timeline was wonky there). Him killing Alberto out of Jealousy, and for his role in making Gilda barren makes sense as well. We simply cannot be expected to believe that Gilda is the only Holiday Killer, she can't be.
I hope that we get the injustice animated movie soon and hopfully it means that injustice 3 is the next game coming out from netherrealm and the sequal book should also be made into an animated movie they really should bring back the animated Batam series and Batman beyond those were really great
I really enjoyed this film adaptation both parts 1 & 2. The way things ended with Gilda is very intriguing. Two Face tossed a coin 🪙 before entering the filthy sewage system to decide if he would be infected.
If only they didn't have only 1 Holiday, which was just terrible and had Bruce and Selina get together lmao. Should never happen. They're values clash and they make a terrible long term couple
That was the only part that seemed a lil bit off to me. It would have made more sense for her to have her hypnotized Harvey and he started to break loose and did that on his own other than that one part I think both parts are solid 9/10
Totes unrelated but what else is new. I’m all the way up to Spider-man : Homecoming and here’s my list in order from fave to…not so fave. 😉 What do you think? • Avengers • CA : TWS • CA : Civil War • GotG • GotG vol 2 • Dr. Strange • Ironman • Ant-man • Thor • Thor: TDW (only so high bc Loki) • Ironman 3 • Avengers : Age of Ultron • Ironman 2 (i really hated whiplash) • CA : 1st Avenger
@@heavyspoilers i didn’t hate it per se, i just thought it was super boring. Esp compared to TWS or CW. I mean, TWS is like..what a superhero movie should be. You were right though, there was a marked increase in overall enjoyability in Phase 3. Making this list is a bit of a challenge since some are different genres…Dr. Strange I thought was awesome bc it was like being on acid while also watching an acid trip while then also simultaneously standing inside a Salvador Dali painting (plus, since Mads Mikkelson played my beloved Hannibal, I enjoy him in most everything) but bc GotG 1&2 was just so fun to watch (except for Ego spending 1/4 of the movie barfing up exposition) Strange got moved down. You really can’t go wrong with a dancing Baby Groot though. lol I live over by Disney World in FL and watching GotG made me feel like i was on a ride lol Will get thru Homecoming today for sure bc I am REALLY looking forward to Ragnarok and Black Panther!!!
Both part 1 and 2 were great! I loved how Batman felt very much at the start of his career (getting bested/called out by even some of his c level rogues) which still being extremely competent. My only complaint is the portrayal of Selina Kyle/Catwoman, which may be unfair given that Rivera passed away. But that never once felt like Selina Kyle. Ackles’ voice work as Bruce Wayne was also distracting, but not as much.
I never read the comic, but it still doesn't make any sense to me how Gilda was able to carry out the assassination so flawlessly, like she was able to kill all the guys during the Thanksgiving dinner without any problem. Also Holiday was built like a man and there were many times we got to see the face closed up that looks nothing like her.
@@ryantheanimator1156 I agree with you, the movie is great but the killer model made it physically impossible for Gilda to match. I would have to add that for an unknown reason Batman let her off the hook, we see a Batman with a gray path since Harvey made it clear that he down himself to catch the Falcone Family and Batman arrested him but on the contrary he knew Gilda commited all the assassinations (according to the animation) without any remorse and seems that he left her go, lack coherency.
Gilda had all the time in the world- because she had no family to tend to. And Harvey was always busy. Being that holidays are a time for family, she had no one to hold her back from committing these murders. It fits so perfectly, I almost think this was the exact point of the holidays being chosen for murder. Also, Batman letting Gilda go makes sense. He blames himself for what happened to Harvey. He also recognized that Harvey took the blame for Gilda and as an act of remorse, he let her go.
@@IAMTHESTARMAN Great points, I agree that according to the plot they use in the movie it makes total sense about gilda being the killer, but u can clearly see on those two scenes were the killer is portrayed, the killer has a bigger and manly figure (thats my point). About Batman i have to say that the one described in the movie is a more human one that we are use to see in most of the comics, but you have to consider that batman also gained some accute sense of justice so if thats the case, he should have arrested her and put on trial. Otherwise he would be compromising the very oath he made himself about bringing criminals to justice.
I have every single Batman animated series, film, and live action movie, and you're so right........they almost never disappoint. I can rewatch so many of the animated Batman films and never get bored. And it's long tradition of churning out TOP quality animation all began with Batman TAS back in the 90's. Which in part owes a lot to Tim Burton.
@@CayeDaws Very true. Still can't believe how disappointing The Killing Joke was, even though it had Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil voicing Batman and Joker. The first act, namely the plot that involved Batman and Batgirl, pretty much ruined it.
I hope the romance between Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie is just like their romance in The Long Halloween Part One and Two.
@@firstlast9846 Whilst Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' will show The Dark Knight in his second year as Gothams Caped Crusader, the film won't be a direct adaptation of the four part 'Year Two' story arc penned by Mark Barr. It will incorporate bits from 'Year Two', as well as a little from 'The Long Halloween' (in particular several plot elements involving Catwoman and Falcone). The first genuine live action take on (most of) 'The Long Halloween' was done by Chris Nolan in 'The Dark Knight'.
The Long Halloween has always been one of my favourite comic book stories and made me fall in love with the character of Batman when I was 11 and this animated film only reinvigorated my love for the story. I really loved how the film was very faithful to the comic while taking creative liberties and changes to the source material, which gave new readers to the story a welcomed presence. The art style and animation were great, and although I do prefer Tim Sale's gorgeous artwork, I still really liked the animation choice and how fluid and dynamic characters were presented in the film. The detective atmosphere and noir tones were great and really felt like I was watching an animated mix of Se7en, The Godfather and The Dark Knight. The cast was also fantastic as well, Josh Duhamel had to be my favourite performance in the film and his Harvey Dent/Two-Face was superb, you really feel bad for Harvey while also intimidated with how cunning and skilled he can be and I like how they subtly foreshadowed his evolution into Two-Face, without it being too on-the-nose, thus making us the audience fully invested with his character even more. Also, the level of gravitas he puts into his performance was great and It made me feel like I was hearing Richard Moll's Two-Face from Batman: The Animated Series. Jensen Ackles also did a good job as Batman and Bruce Wayne and I think he really delivered it when Batman was under Scarecrow's fear toxin and Jensen Ackles' Bruce Wayne performance was quite compelling. Since this was Naya Rivera's final role, I can honestly say she nailed it, she was also great as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, where she shines in delivery, making Selina both a feared yet compelling character. Titus Welliver was great as Carmine Falcone and showed how many layers this character can have, as well as Troy Baker always delivering it as Joker. Not to mention David Dastmalchian giving an excellent performance as Calendar Man, being both creepy and caviler at the same time, real Hannibal Lectur vibes. Overall, despite the insane amount I have said, I think you can guess that I loved this film, both Part 1 and Part 2 (liked Part 2 just a little bit more), and all I can say is... I hope we get a Dark Victory animated sequel. (P.S. Siverely underrated story as well)
I loved the film until the end. Never read the comics so I didn't see Gilda being the murder coming. Mainly because the holiday killer was shown as a man, the man in this clip as black eyes and different hair than she does. Shit her eyes are the brightest blue I've ever seen. Plus it's hard to believe that a small woman with no training or previous knowledge of firearms, could kill so many people.
@@thomassmith2891 WARNING EXTREME SPOILERS AHEAD!! She didn’t kill them all. There was at least 2 Holiday killers, if not 3. As for the ending of this film, I really disliked it compared to the GN for a completely different reason, as Batman wasn’t in the end sequence,where she’s throwing all the evidence into the basement furnace. I mean Batman didn’t even know ‘Dents wife was 1 of the Holiday killers in the comic. I can’t even remember her being mentioned whatsoever in the sequel to the The Long Halloween, which was the great ‘Dark Victory’. The film should have carried out that end reveal in the exact same way as the book did, which just used an inner dialogue of ‘Dents wife explaining her own actions,as she throws all the evidence into the basement furnace, with NO BATMAN IN SIGHT. So yeah, Harvey’ committed some of the murders & his wife committed the others,without either knowing about the other ones actions, with Alfredo Carloni only committing one of the murders if I remember correctly. The book probably made this a bit more clear,but also more open ended & subjective in that sense. Which is what made the comic book ending a brilliant curve ball, with no need for Batman being there for what should have been an inner dialogue scene only.
Batman: Year One Batman: The Long Halloween Part One Batman: The Long Halloween Part Two Batman: The Killing Joke Batman: Assault on Arkham Batman: Under The Red Hood Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
The Flash and Green Arrow in the end credits scene were in the art style of Superman Man of Tomorrow and Justice Society WWII. This is the new animated movie universe
I read the book and loved this one. They're not all gems, but this one was good (and I can't unhear Jason Todd's voice in this one). Under the Red Hood still might be the best. Year One and Dark Knight Returns are in a different league though.
Love the long Halloween, the writers wanted it to be a spiritual successor to Millers year one. I may have to pull it off the shelf and read it again before I watch this animation. Are they doing the sequel too?
If it weren't for Gordon's Daughter in the movie this could have easily been connected to the Year One adaptation. Falconer even has scars from Catwoman on his face
The long Halloween and Dark Victory. Two absolutely AMAZING comic books. Hardly felt like graphic novels tbh. Both movies with the intro art being a copy of the comic art was so great to see
Batman giving Harvey the coin and getting it originally from Falcone is highly symbolic. Especially because the coin reappears whenever a good guy needs to make a bad decision.
Like you, I started re-reading graphic novels in the mid 20 starting with The Dark Knight Returns, I happened to find The Long Halloween and its additional books. I loved TLH so much that for 5 or so years it became a year's thing for me to read as it was such a gripping and well-told story. Now I have seen the film in both parts I loved it also. For me, this animated film is the best the WB has made with the exception of Death In The Family/Under The Red Hood. TLH is a perfect blend of Noir and action with just a gripping story. It's a 9.5/10 for me...
She looks like she’s Dent because we are seeing in the eyes of the victims and all they see is a man doing the job and being blinded by not considering it could be a women killing all these strong men. Everyone sees it as if it’s a man and if you think about it most people when they see a figure there eyes will make up the rest of them specially when they can’t get a good look at them.
So in the movie, gilda and alberto are ex lovers and gilda is holiday because she hates falcone for what he did to her relationship with alberto. Then she kills alberto, im confused.
You must have low standards if you consider a killer who looks nothing like herself to be the “best” I mean, everyone is allowed to enjoy what they enjoy but it just doesn’t make sense objectivley
I encourage EVERYONE here to rewatch these two movies like I just did, because the clues that were left to indicate Alberto and Gildas relationship as well as Selinas link to the falcones were wonderful. The latter is especially prevalent in the scenes where Carmine speaks to Alberto and during Carmine's "family" speech in the yacht. During that speech, we get close ups of Alberto and Selina. Selina asking Alberto what it was like to grow up in the Roman Empire and her being the one to lead Bruce to the Falcone money vault was awesome too (idk if this was in the original comic). Also, it was extremely poetic that Gilda shot Alberto just as he was admitting to Bruce and Selina that all he wanted was to live away from Gotham and start a family with a very unknown person. Making Gilda the sole killer was a solid choice to me. She, imo, embodies the reckoning that the Roman Empire had to face for its crimes against Gotham, and she (as well as the Falcone-Wayne connection) also represent(s) how personal the war on crime in Gotham can be. Gilda also shows what can happen to the innocents of Gotham when Batman and the GCPD are NOT good enough and are unable to solve the case in time. Wonderful movie, RIP naya rivera. Fantastic performances all around.
I’m still upset that Gilda didn’t get arrested. I don’t understand why, no review of this movie gave me an answer I could accept. Crimes should be punished, end of story.
Yeah, the lack of critique shows how one should not take the movie seriously. Not only should she have been arrested for SURE but it’s incredibly stupid to the level of anger from a viewers perspective that the killer who is drawn as a man is now somehow a woman - that’s not clever, that’s just literally making stuff up. As I say, why not just make the killer Calendar man or something since logic is meaningless in this film - in fact, that would even be a better ending. A lot of time wasted watching this film.
If this movie is supposed to portray some kind of message, make that message clear, don’t make them work for it, cause there’s a chance people won’t want to see it a second time to understand it.
Hi everyone. 😉😉 We will probably never meet, yet I greet you with respect and best intentions. Never give up in life and learn to accept that there will be challenging times too. Nevertheless, whatever life has in stock for you, good or bad, keep on believing in yourself and keep on going. Don't you ever forget that there are people who will be on your side, who will love and respect you. Learn to appreciate the world around you, and you will always win. 🌷🌷🌷
Ooo I wouldn’t say one of the best ever, not even one of the best Batman animated movies if I’m honest with you as there’s been sooo much better, for me anyway! It was a good watch it just didn’t have that typical punch and I got bored watching it at some points 🤷🏽♂️
Can’t wait to see what the end-credit scene leads to. The Superman film as well as the JSA film established that the heroes are at least remotely aware of one another, though not to the extent of knowing secret identities. So it’ll be interesting to see what’s developed and what will! So glad we have this as opposed to the previous new-52 inspired DCAMU
Part 2 was terrible compared to the first. Whoever animates these needs a sit down. Sloppy ending. Also why would Batman allow Holiday to just be free? She murdered people for revenge. Also that was pretty unbelievable. But hey strong WHAMEN. Sofia's death was laughable and made no sense. Falcone is shooting a 50 cal barrett like its an m16. Sloppy transition from part 1 to 2. Bad ending. Batman barely does anything in this dang.
Yeah whoever wrote this adaption clearly either has a poor understanding of Batman or is agenda-driven and has a very different idea of justice than the one portrayed in the comic. Batman would never willingly let Gilda go free.
I was very hesitant about this adaption, especially after the butcher job they did on Hush, and the killing joke, which I own the graphic novels of all of them. However, you make this sound watchable so I will give it a chance even though I cringe at some of the changes you mentioned are in the adaption. Thanks for what you do. Great job as usual. Now can I have my box set????
@@dominiquejones3805 interesting. For me it was the exact opposite. I was fine with what they did with hush. But the killing joke I thought really sucked. The thing with hush is that... don't get me wrong it's a great comic but that Tommy Elliot reveal was kind of a swerve for the sake of a swerve. There was no reasoning behind it other then Jeph Loeb going "haha gotcha!"
Hush was great, the original comic was always overrated. The long Halloween was good but it was just a carbon copy of the comic which to me is boring since they didn’t do anything new or take any chances.
Gilda made no sense. How do you have a child out of wedlock when you are married? And why the fuck did she kill Alberto? Dude the writers were trippin'.
The post credits scene most likely connects it to the the Justice Society WWII Movie with Flash as the lead character which featured the appearance of the 2020 Superman from the Man of Tomorrow movie where they discussed the creation of a team.
@@oq_pz just because you don't see events happen doesn't mean it didn't. That scene didn't show how Ollie and Barry met either. But my guess why they chose Barry and Ollie is because Jensen Ackles was from Supernatural a CW show and CW has both Green Arrow and Flash. It's just a nod to fans and an assurance that yes, they are building the universe.
Both the parts were good , but comics suspense was just too good especially the end part it's a special comic of BATMAN ever 🦇🦇🦇🔥🔥🔥 , Riddler role was more amazing in the comic in the movie they focused more on Poison Ivy which is good my ratings for both parts 9.5/10 and 10/10
This adaptation of The Long Halloween is on par with The Dark Knight Returns two part animated movie. Easily one of the best Batman/DC animated movies.
for some reason i really didn't like any of it. it felt cheap rehashed and mashed together just for the sake of it. To me, all it felt like, was known material put to some form of animation, just to sell and make some money out of it. As such, it really did not do anything for me. I loved the Dark Knight movie trilogy because it was a refreshing and new approach, and it really worked. Looking at the Snyder-verse, that too was different and interesting, and as such worked. I haven't liked any of the Suicide Squad material though. What i did really like animation-wise was The Red Hood and Flashpoint Paradox. Both felt much better written and made. I was expecting a lot from this 'animated' movie, but sorry to say i was disappointed with it. Not that it was bad. I just don't think it was any good either. Each to their own i guess.
I was okay with the changes with this 2-parter - it turned out to be a solid story. Everything lined up, and was paced nicely. I actually liked being surprised with this one haha. But for the love of the Bat, I have no idea why they made the changes they did in Hush and The Killing Joke - I hope those get do-overs lol. Looking forward to Dark Victory next!! It would be a mistake not to do a follow-up.
@@kingstarscream3807 absolutely for Hush. They were clearly doing their own thing with it to line up with the continuity they had going on - Hush would have benefited being it’s own contained story. Killing Joke was okay, but I would have preferred a different style of animation, and less of the weird Batgirl stuff in there.
@@PhilChoArt The Killing Joke needed to cut the Barbara part, and just extend the main story, take some time letting each scene breathe. Too many amazing panels from the GN are glossed over in a second, when they needed minutes to drink in the atmosphere.
The ending completely destroys Batman's character. Batman would never let a criminal get away, just because the victims where bad people. Batman stands for order, justice and light in a world of darkness. He uses darkness but is not himself dark. I don't know who that character with the bat costume at the end is, but it's not Bruce.
I wanted to like the long Halloween movie. But I found the animation to be lacking. And for whatever reason the story just seem to be really slow. Is it just me? 🤷🏻♂️ I'm going to watch it again and see if I look at it differently.
I hate that the movie did not end with the iconic line "I believe in Harvey Dent" by Gilda. I'm the only one? It was something that relly gives me goosebumps in the Comic.

What I don’t understand is why did Gilda kill Salvatore Maronis father for what did have to with what happened to her
The Amazing, Spectacular, Sensational Spoiler-Man is here!
Awesome movie but why did Gilda kill Sal Maroni's father? I thought she only wanted revenge to the Falcone family members.
I'd imagine it was to fool Sal into suspecting the Roman, to motivate Sal into killing Carmine over Luigi. Instead Sal suspects Harvey Dent, so Gilda's plan backfires and she creates Two Face indirectly who then does kill Roman. Of course the flaw in the film is that if revenge against the Roman was the bottom line why was she hesitant to kill him herself directly, and why wait so long to do it?
Why the fuck did she kill Alberto? I'm so lost.
Thanks for the heads up. I didn’t even know that was out
Looks good. I'm going to see it. Thanks for the Heavy Spoilers!
Love the video Long Halloween is one of my favorites
0:10 lol collecting stamps 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Flash from the credit scene is the one from the animated movie Justice Society: World War II
Catwoman when in Rome takes place during dark victory not the long Halloween
Didn't completely love all the changes, specifically Batman just letting a serial killer go. Sorry, would never happen. It also closes a few holes in the original story while opening a few new ones.

Exactly. The only way it makes sense is if Two-face killed Alberto.
Animated batman is always the best. Mark Hamills joke makes me giddy with joy... hehe ahahaha ha ha ha

I hope that we get the injustice animated movie soon and hopfully it means that injustice 3 is the next game coming out from netherrealm and the sequal book should also be made into an animated movie they really should bring back the animated Batam series and Batman beyond those were really great
I really enjoyed this film adaptation both parts 1 & 2. The way things ended with Gilda is very intriguing. Two Face tossed a coin 🪙 before entering the filthy sewage system to decide if he would be infected.
i liked both....want to see them continue the bat and cat romance
Like the review
DC movies may not be good but they always do fucking great with the animated movies
it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. he spent fifteen years claiming to be batman and now he finally is
Is this on HBO MAX?
If I haven’t read the comic and I’ve watched part one and two is there any point in reading the comic?
will i guess the movie was good i just want to see it go shot for shot just like the comic book you know
This was a great adaptation of the book imo
If only they didn't have only 1 Holiday, which was just terrible and had Bruce and Selina get together lmao. Should never happen. They're values clash and they make a terrible long term couple
0:07 anybody know the lady asking for my dog
I wonder how different the batman and this one will be I'm sure there's many differences but what are they
Who is the holiday
batman catching straight Ls in this movie. he didnt even win a brawl or solve a mystery, he's just there
Stop crying. Batman doesn’t need to dominate in every single movie.
If the long holloween, what happen to dark victory???
This movie was awesome
Suicide squad 2021 reports are outstanding guys..get ready
The fact that Batman let her go, ruind part 2 for me...
BOTH MOVIES ARE ABOUT CATCHING HOLIDAY!
*Finally finds holiday, lets her go.*
Total crap.
I loved this movie
I'm confused. Who shot Alberto on the yacht? Was it Gilda?
yes she is the holiday killer
That was the only part that seemed a lil bit off to me. It would have made more sense for her to have her hypnotized Harvey and he started to break loose and did that on his own other than that one part I think both parts are solid 9/10
hbo max?

Super solid list, I actually love first avenger in retrospect, youll know once you finish everything
@@heavyspoilers i didn’t hate it per se, i just thought it was super boring. Esp compared to TWS or CW. I mean, TWS is like..what a superhero movie should be. You were right though, there was a marked increase in overall enjoyability in Phase 3.
Making this list is a bit of a challenge since some are different genres…Dr. Strange I thought was awesome bc it was like being on acid while also watching an acid trip while then also simultaneously standing inside a Salvador Dali painting (plus, since Mads Mikkelson played my beloved Hannibal, I enjoy him in most everything) but bc GotG 1&2 was just so fun to watch (except for Ego spending 1/4 of the movie barfing up exposition) Strange got moved down. You really can’t go wrong with a dancing Baby Groot though. lol
I live over by Disney World in FL and watching GotG made me feel like i was on a ride lol
Will get thru Homecoming today for sure bc I am REALLY looking forward to Ragnarok and Black Panther!!!
Both part 1 and 2 were great! I loved how Batman felt very much at the start of his career (getting bested/called out by even some of his c level rogues) which still being extremely competent.
My only complaint is the portrayal of Selina Kyle/Catwoman, which may be unfair given that Rivera passed away. But that never once felt like Selina Kyle. Ackles’ voice work as Bruce Wayne was also distracting, but not as much.
The changes really went very smoothly and for people who didnt read the comic book issues of the story...
It was kinda good to see a bit different storyline than comic
I never read the comic, but it still doesn't make any sense to me how Gilda was able to carry out the assassination so flawlessly, like she was able to kill all the guys during the Thanksgiving dinner without any problem. Also Holiday was built like a man and there were many times we got to see the face closed up that looks nothing like her.
@@ryantheanimator1156 I agree with you, the movie is great but the killer model made it physically impossible for Gilda to match. I would have to add that for an unknown reason Batman let her off the hook, we see a Batman with a gray path since Harvey made it clear that he down himself to catch the Falcone Family and Batman arrested him but on the contrary he knew Gilda commited all the assassinations (according to the animation) without any remorse and seems that he left her go, lack coherency.
Gilda had all the time in the world- because she had no family to tend to. And Harvey was always busy. Being that holidays are a time for family, she had no one to hold her back from committing these murders. It fits so perfectly, I almost think this was the exact point of the holidays being chosen for murder.
Also, Batman letting Gilda go makes sense. He blames himself for what happened to Harvey. He also recognized that Harvey took the blame for Gilda and as an act of remorse, he let her go.
@@IAMTHESTARMAN Great points,
I agree that according to the plot they use in the movie it makes total sense about gilda being the killer, but u can clearly see on those two scenes were the killer is portrayed, the killer has a bigger and manly figure (thats my point).
About Batman i have to say that the one described in the movie is a more human one that we are use to see in most of the comics, but you have to consider that batman also gained some accute sense of justice so if thats the case, he should have arrested her and put on trial. Otherwise he would be compromising the very oath he made himself about bringing criminals to justice.
The Batman animated movies have such a solid track record. Rarely disappointed. Glad you're reviewing these!
I have every single Batman animated series, film, and live action movie, and you're so right........they almost never disappoint. I can rewatch so many of the animated Batman films and never get bored. And it's long tradition of churning out TOP quality animation all began with Batman TAS back in the 90's. Which in part owes a lot to Tim Burton.
There are some bad ones. The DCAMU ones, Killing Joke, Batman and Harley Quinn.
@@CayeDaws Very true. Still can't believe how disappointing The Killing Joke was, even though it had Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamil voicing Batman and Joker. The first act, namely the plot that involved Batman and Batgirl, pretty much ruined it.
@@CayeDaws I like the dcamu movies
Ikr they never let us down with these straight out back to back greatness
I hope the romance between Robert Pattinson’s Batman and Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie is just like their romance in The Long Halloween Part One and Two.
The Long Halloween makers are definitely Bat/Cat fans!
No. They're principals vary
Bruh you are so right now that we have the 2 trailers.
oooooh, no one stays for him
I am really happy Matt Reeves' the Batman is based on Long Halloween, it's a great comic adaptation and the animation is awesome too!
It's my favourite Batman comic and I am super excited for Matt Reeves Batman, and I really liked this animated film's adaptation of the story as well.
It’s not based on the Long Halloween - - it’s based on Year 2 with the Riddler - Harvey Dent isn’t even in the movie.
@@firstlast9846 Whilst Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' will show The Dark Knight in his second year as Gothams Caped Crusader, the film won't be a direct adaptation of the four part 'Year Two' story arc penned by Mark Barr. It will incorporate bits from 'Year Two', as well as a little from 'The Long Halloween' (in particular several plot elements involving Catwoman and Falcone).
The first genuine live action take on (most of) 'The Long Halloween' was done by Chris Nolan in 'The Dark Knight'.
The Dark Knight was the Long Halloween, except making The Joker the big bad.
I'm so sick of this story. We have The Dark Knight, which was based on Long Halloween too. Make a new storys
The Long Halloween has always been one of my favourite comic book stories and made me fall in love with the character of Batman when I was 11 and this animated film only reinvigorated my love for the story. I really loved how the film was very faithful to the comic while taking creative liberties and changes to the source material, which gave new readers to the story a welcomed presence. The art style and animation were great, and although I do prefer Tim Sale's gorgeous artwork, I still really liked the animation choice and how fluid and dynamic characters were presented in the film. The detective atmosphere and noir tones were great and really felt like I was watching an animated mix of Se7en, The Godfather and The Dark Knight. The cast was also fantastic as well, Josh Duhamel had to be my favourite performance in the film and his Harvey Dent/Two-Face was superb, you really feel bad for Harvey while also intimidated with how cunning and skilled he can be and I like how they subtly foreshadowed his evolution into Two-Face, without it being too on-the-nose, thus making us the audience fully invested with his character even more. Also, the level of gravitas he puts into his performance was great and It made me feel like I was hearing Richard Moll's Two-Face from Batman: The Animated Series. Jensen Ackles also did a good job as Batman and Bruce Wayne and I think he really delivered it when Batman was under Scarecrow's fear toxin and Jensen Ackles' Bruce Wayne performance was quite compelling. Since this was Naya Rivera's final role, I can honestly say she nailed it, she was also great as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, where she shines in delivery, making Selina both a feared yet compelling character. Titus Welliver was great as Carmine Falcone and showed how many layers this character can have, as well as Troy Baker always delivering it as Joker. Not to mention David Dastmalchian giving an excellent performance as Calendar Man, being both creepy and caviler at the same time, real Hannibal Lectur vibes.
Overall, despite the insane amount I have said, I think you can guess that I loved this film, both Part 1 and Part 2 (liked Part 2 just a little bit more), and all I can say is...
I hope we get a Dark Victory animated sequel.
(P.S. Siverely underrated story as well)
I loved the film until the end. Never read the comics so I didn't see Gilda being the murder coming. Mainly because the holiday killer was shown as a man, the man in this clip as black eyes and different hair than she does. Shit her eyes are the brightest blue I've ever seen. Plus it's hard to believe that a small woman with no training or previous knowledge of firearms, could kill so many people.
@@thomassmith2891
WARNING EXTREME SPOILERS AHEAD!!
She didn’t kill them all. There was at least 2 Holiday killers, if not 3.
As for the ending of this film, I really disliked it compared to the GN for a completely different reason, as Batman wasn’t in the end sequence,where she’s throwing all the evidence into the basement furnace. I mean Batman didn’t even know ‘Dents wife was 1 of the Holiday killers in the comic. I can’t even remember her being mentioned whatsoever in the sequel to the The Long Halloween, which was the great ‘Dark Victory’.
The film should have carried out that end reveal in the exact same way as the book did, which just used an inner dialogue of ‘Dents wife explaining her own actions,as she throws all the evidence into the basement furnace, with NO BATMAN IN SIGHT.
So yeah, Harvey’ committed some of the murders & his wife committed the others,without either knowing about the other ones actions, with Alfredo Carloni only committing one of the murders if I remember correctly. The book probably made this a bit more clear,but also more open ended & subjective in that sense. Which is what made the comic book ending a brilliant curve ball, with no need for Batman being there for what should have been an inner dialogue scene only.
Really loved the changes they made,making the story little different so that it goes on with people who the comic book!
Batman: Year One
Batman: The Long Halloween Part One
Batman: The Long Halloween Part Two
Batman: The Killing Joke
Batman: Assault on Arkham
Batman: Under The Red Hood
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
What’s this
@Elliepopcorn oh I thought you were ranking them or sum
I didn’t like the killing joke but the rest were amazing
@Elliepopcorn comic is fire but yeah movie is meh not unwatchable or nun jus not that good
@Mr. Ghost they aren’t all canonical
Long Halloween is one of the best Batman graphic novels... the story, the art, the everything...
Tim Sales artwork is always amazing
It took me longer than I'm proud of to get your "supervision" joke, lol.
The Flash and Green Arrow in the end credits scene were in the art style of Superman Man of Tomorrow and Justice Society WWII. This is the new animated movie universe
I'm sorry for my ignorance, but did the ending feel kinda rushed? Like I don't get why joker and some of the other villians were there.
So did Gilda kill Alberto?
Waiting for a "The batman who laughs "/ Metal storyline animated movie to be made, that would be dope af🔥
I read the book and loved this one. They're not all gems, but this one was good (and I can't unhear Jason Todd's voice in this one).
Under the Red Hood still might be the best.
Year One and Dark Knight Returns are in a different league though.
Love the long Halloween, the writers wanted it to be a spiritual successor to Millers year one. I may have to pull it off the shelf and read it again before I watch this animation. Are they doing the sequel too?
If it weren't for Gordon's Daughter in the movie this could have easily been connected to the Year One adaptation. Falconer even has scars from Catwoman on his face
The long Halloween and Dark Victory. Two absolutely AMAZING comic books. Hardly felt like graphic novels tbh. Both movies with the intro art being a copy of the comic art was so great to see
So catwoman is Falcone daughter
And the District attorney wife is the holiday killer?
yep
Batman giving Harvey the coin and getting it originally from Falcone is highly symbolic. Especially because the coin reappears whenever a good guy needs to make a bad decision.
This is up there to me with Under The Redhood these two stories are bonafide classics and the animation really did justice to the comics.
Like you, I started re-reading graphic novels in the mid 20 starting with The Dark Knight Returns, I happened to find The Long Halloween and its additional books. I loved TLH so much that for 5 or so years it became a year's thing for me to read as it was such a gripping and well-told story. Now I have seen the film in both parts I loved it also. For me, this animated film is the best the WB has made with the exception of Death In The Family/Under The Red Hood.
TLH is a perfect blend of Noir and action with just a gripping story. It's a 9.5/10 for me...
She looks like she’s Dent because we are seeing in the eyes of the victims and all they see is a man doing the job and being blinded by not considering it could be a women killing all these strong men. Everyone sees it as if it’s a man and if you think about it most people when they see a figure there eyes will make up the rest of them specially when they can’t get a good look at them.
So in the movie, gilda and alberto are ex lovers and gilda is holiday because she hates falcone for what he did to her relationship with alberto. Then she kills alberto, im confused.
It's a plot hole. Definitely the dumbest part of the movie.
One of the best batman animated movies to date but cant beat the mask of the phantasm but it is quite till the same level!
You must have low standards if you consider a killer who looks nothing like herself to be the “best” I mean, everyone is allowed to enjoy what they enjoy but it just doesn’t make sense objectivley
I encourage EVERYONE here to rewatch these two movies like I just did, because the clues that were left to indicate Alberto and Gildas relationship as well as Selinas link to the falcones were wonderful. The latter is especially prevalent in the scenes where Carmine speaks to Alberto and during Carmine's "family" speech in the yacht. During that speech, we get close ups of Alberto and Selina. Selina asking Alberto what it was like to grow up in the Roman Empire and her being the one to lead Bruce to the Falcone money vault was awesome too (idk if this was in the original comic). Also, it was extremely poetic that Gilda shot Alberto just as he was admitting to Bruce and Selina that all he wanted was to live away from Gotham and start a family with a very unknown person.
Making Gilda the sole killer was a solid choice to me. She, imo, embodies the reckoning that the Roman Empire had to face for its crimes against Gotham, and she (as well as the Falcone-Wayne connection) also represent(s) how personal the war on crime in Gotham can be. Gilda also shows what can happen to the innocents of Gotham when Batman and the GCPD are NOT good enough and are unable to solve the case in time. Wonderful movie, RIP naya rivera. Fantastic performances all around.
I’m still upset that Gilda didn’t get arrested. I don’t understand why, no review of this movie gave me an answer I could accept. Crimes should be punished, end of story.
Yeah, the lack of critique shows how one should not take the movie seriously. Not only should she have been arrested for SURE but it’s incredibly stupid to the level of anger from a viewers perspective that the killer who is drawn as a man is now somehow a woman - that’s not clever, that’s just literally making stuff up. As I say, why not just make the killer Calendar man or something since logic is meaningless in this film - in fact, that would even be a better ending. A lot of time wasted watching this film.
If this movie is supposed to portray some kind of message, make that message clear, don’t make them work for it, cause there’s a chance people won’t want to see it a second time to understand it.
@@Hudson_HDJames you didn’t even respond to my point, lol what an odd response
@@mopnem Oh, sorry. That’s a good point you just made. I totally agree.

It is one of the best Batman stories told in literary or a cinematic form
Ooo I wouldn’t say one of the best ever, not even one of the best Batman animated movies if I’m honest with you as there’s been sooo much better, for me anyway! It was a good watch it just didn’t have that typical punch and I got bored watching it at some points 🤷🏽♂️
Great story and animation in my opinion
I would have preferred a closer to book version but good apart from that
Can’t wait to see what the end-credit scene leads to. The Superman film as well as the JSA film established that the heroes are at least remotely aware of one another, though not to the extent of knowing secret identities. So it’ll be interesting to see what’s developed and what will! So glad we have this as opposed to the previous new-52 inspired DCAMU
Part 2 was terrible compared to the first. Whoever animates these needs a sit down. Sloppy ending. Also why would Batman allow Holiday to just be free? She murdered people for revenge. Also that was pretty unbelievable. But hey strong WHAMEN. Sofia's death was laughable and made no sense. Falcone is shooting a 50 cal barrett like its an m16. Sloppy transition from part 1 to 2. Bad ending. Batman barely does anything in this dang.
Yeah whoever wrote this adaption clearly either has a poor understanding of Batman or is agenda-driven and has a very different idea of justice than the one portrayed in the comic. Batman would never willingly let Gilda go free.
I really hope they do Dark Victory for this new universe.
Always have liked/loved Jensen Ackles Batman movies and this one also didn't disappoint
I was very hesitant about this adaption, especially after the butcher job they did on Hush, and the killing joke, which I own the graphic novels of all of them. However, you make this sound watchable so I will give it a chance even though I cringe at some of the changes you mentioned are in the adaption. Thanks for what you do. Great job as usual. Now can I have my box set????
I can deal with the Killing Joke but Hush pissed me off
@@dominiquejones3805 interesting. For me it was the exact opposite. I was fine with what they did with hush. But the killing joke I thought really sucked. The thing with hush is that... don't get me wrong it's a great comic but that Tommy Elliot reveal was kind of a swerve for the sake of a swerve. There was no reasoning behind it other then Jeph Loeb going "haha gotcha!"
Hush was great, the original comic was always overrated. The long Halloween was good but it was just a carbon copy of the comic which to me is boring since they didn’t do anything new or take any chances.
This is the best DC animated movie to come out in a long time.
Dont be surprised if the ending and the Holiday reveal dissapoints u. Compared to the comics
Just realized how much superhero content between Marvel and DC David Dastmalchian is in!
Bread approves
I like Gildas motive in this but why go after Maroni?
Me: When is Halloween
Batman: The long Halloween
Gilda made no sense. How do you have a child out of wedlock when you are married? And why the fuck did she kill Alberto? Dude the writers were trippin'.
The post credits scene most likely connects it to the the Justice Society WWII Movie with Flash as the lead character which featured the appearance of the 2020 Superman from the Man of Tomorrow movie where they discussed the creation of a team.
But it doesn’t explain how Flash and Green Arrow know Batman’s identity.
@@oq_pz just because you don't see events happen doesn't mean it didn't. That scene didn't show how Ollie and Barry met either. But my guess why they chose Barry and Ollie is because Jensen Ackles was from Supernatural a CW show and CW has both Green Arrow and Flash. It's just a nod to fans and an assurance that yes, they are building the universe.
Both the parts were good , but comics suspense was just too good especially the end part it's a special comic of BATMAN ever 🦇🦇🦇🔥🔥🔥 , Riddler role was more amazing in the comic in the movie they focused more on Poison Ivy which is good my ratings for both parts 9.5/10 and 10/10
Yeah sucks they cut him out
They down plated riddler, he is going to be the major villian in next year's The Batman which also has some part adaption from long Halloween.
One best animated movies that DC has produced in recent years!
This adaptation of The Long Halloween is on par with The Dark Knight Returns two part animated movie. Easily one of the best Batman/DC animated movies.
I'm just hanging around waiting for Bad Batch Episode 14 Breakdown...
I know you're only minutes away.
Who is the killer come on tell me
for some reason i really didn't like any of it. it felt cheap rehashed and mashed together just for the sake of it. To me, all it felt like, was known material put to some form of animation, just to sell and make some money out of it. As such, it really did not do anything for me. I loved the Dark Knight movie trilogy because it was a refreshing and new approach, and it really worked. Looking at the Snyder-verse, that too was different and interesting, and as such worked. I haven't liked any of the Suicide Squad material though. What i did really like animation-wise was The Red Hood and Flashpoint Paradox. Both felt much better written and made. I was expecting a lot from this 'animated' movie, but sorry to say i was disappointed with it. Not that it was bad. I just don't think it was any good either. Each to their own i guess.
I was okay with the changes with this 2-parter - it turned out to be a solid story. Everything lined up, and was paced nicely. I actually liked being surprised with this one haha. But for the love of the Bat, I have no idea why they made the changes they did in Hush and The Killing Joke - I hope those get do-overs lol. Looking forward to Dark Victory next!! It would be a mistake not to do a follow-up.
Killing Joke was fine. Very faithful adaption. Hush sucked. Too many changes that made the story worse.
@@kingstarscream3807 absolutely for Hush. They were clearly doing their own thing with it to line up with the continuity they had going on - Hush would have benefited being it’s own contained story. Killing Joke was okay, but I would have preferred a different style of animation, and less of the weird Batgirl stuff in there.
@@PhilChoArt The Killing Joke needed to cut the Barbara part, and just extend the main story, take some time letting each scene breathe. Too many amazing panels from the GN are glossed over in a second, when they needed minutes to drink in the atmosphere.
The ending completely destroys Batman's character. Batman would never let a criminal get away, just because the victims where bad people. Batman stands for order, justice and light in a world of darkness. He uses darkness but is not himself dark. I don't know who that character with the bat costume at the end is, but it's not Bruce.
I wanted to like the long Halloween movie.
But I found the animation to be lacking.
And for whatever reason the story just seem to be really slow.
Is it just me? 🤷🏻♂️
I'm going to watch it again and see if I look at it differently.
I hate that the movie did not end with the iconic line "I believe in Harvey Dent" by Gilda. I'm the only one? It was something that relly gives me goosebumps in the Comic.
They almost completely cut out his electioneering. Probably because it was so prominent in The Dark Knight.
