Warner Bros provided this blog with a complimentary Blu-ray of the featured movie. Opinions expressed are honest and my own.
Batman: The Long Halloween is such an epic graphic novel that to adapt it into a motion picture took two movies to do the story justice. These animated flicks are Warner Bros. straight to home video DC Universe Movies which put fans first in their fan-tastic portrayals of the gritty and violent nature of Batman's vigilantism. Part I was released on Blu-ray and Digital back in June and Part II is available now to add to your home entertainment library of comic book inspired movies. The first installment of The Long Halloween was intense and I've been eagerly waiting with anticipation to see how the world's greatest detective solves this murder mystery.
Continuing from the cliff-hanger ending of Part I, the Holiday Killer is still at large and, with Bruce Wayne under the spell of the venomous Poison Ivy, Batman is nowhere to be found. The Caped Crusader finds himself liberated by an unlikely ally. Meanwhile Harvey Dent is confronting battles on two fronts: attempting to end the mob war while also dealing with a strained marriage. And, after an attack that leaves Harvey hideously disfigured, the District Attorney unleashes the duality of his psyche that he’s strived his entire life to suppress. Now, as Two-Face, Dent decides to take the law into his own hands and deliver judgment to those who’ve wronged him, his family and all of Gotham. Ultimately, the Dark Knight must put together the tragic pieces that converged to create both Two-Face and the Holiday Killer.
In Batman: The Long Halloween Part II, the Dark Knight must combat a unified front of classic DC Super-Villains, diffuse an escalating mob war and solve the mystery of the Holiday Killer in a thrilling conclusion to this two-part entry into the popular series of DC Universe Movies. And just as I thought the first installment was intense Part II elevates things going to an R rating from the first movie's PG-13 rating. Batman: The Long Halloween Part II is rated R for violence and bloody images. These animated DC Universe Movies definitely aren't featuring the cast of the Saturday morning Super Friends cartoons for sure!
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, in addition to the feature-length animated film Batman: The Long Halloween Part II contains some exciting bonus content. The Blu-ray and Digital editions of the movie include a DC Showcase short film, a sneak peek at the next animated film in the DC Movie Universe, flashback scenes from two previous Batman flicks, and two Two-Face themed episode from Batman: The Animated Series. Holy Red Robin Batman that is a lot of extras!
● DC Showcase – Blue Beetle (New Animated Short) – Sufferin’ Scarabs! Silver Age Blue Beetle is back! And, had he ever starred in a 1960s Saturday-morning limited-animation cartoon with its own jazzy earworm of a theme song, it would have been just like this! Welcome to the adventures of Ted Kord, alias the Blue Beetle, as he teams up with fellow Super Heroes Captain Atom, The Question and Nightshade to battle that nefarious finagler of feelings, Doctor Spectro.
