I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never actually read Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s “The Long Halloween” before, so I was very interested in seeing what the movie would bring fans.

While most of the previous Batman animated movies have zeroed in on non stop action and little story, “The Long Halloween” is very much about Batman being a detective.
“Black Summer” Season 2 Delivers the Horrifying Reality of Humanity
In 2020, America came to a halt ending most television series, and “Black Summer” was also stalled.

It’s hard to imagine anything as measuring up to Sean Baker’s “The Florida Project” from 2017.
