Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two

The brilliance continues with part 2 still focusing on the Holiday serial killer which was filled with twists and turns even I couldn't see coming, and i've watched a hell of a ton of movies in my 26 years of life. With a introduction of a heap of new characters that werent in part 1, lets get straight into this movie.

Whoever voice Two-Face in this was perfect. Per-fect. That is exactly how I imagined Two-Face sounding like everytime I saw him on screen or in comics. The same goes for Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, Mad Hatter and I could go on and on. Wes Gleason did a great job as usual casting the voices. This was a great as the first part, continuing the story and I especially liked the action. Definitely recommend this two-part movie to anyone who wants to have fun with a good movie.

Batman The Long Halloween, Part Two is the second instalment and direct sequel to the new batman in DC animated universe. As the first part the animation is done well and it's tone fits effortlessly into the detective theme. It arguably is much more packed in terms of story and characters. It does get a bit overwhelming and not to mention slight inconsistencies in the story. It however at no point feels boring and will at the end of the watch leave u satisfied as it's well rounded and tight. This is yet another a solid instalment in this franchise and easily a must watch.

"Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two" finishes the drama and terror that was brought on by the holiday killer, as with each crime the tension and drama grows between the Falcone and Maroni crime families, with Batman, Gordon, and Dent racing to solve the mystery, more Batman bad apples like Poison Ivy, Mad Hatter, and the Scarecrow play figures into this crazy mysterious like game. Well done a joy if you are a Batman and D. C. comics fan as I enjoyed reading this graphic novel watching these two part animated works was entertaining and enjoyable also.

I really was pumped after Part One of Batman the Long Halloween. The story was interesting, the animation stellar and the cast especially Jensen Ackles as Batman was great. But sadly the second part is not as good. Part II is disjointed, with some really poor use of Ackles as Batman. He has almost no dialog, leaving us just a drawn, lifeless character. The other characters, evolve, Dent, Gordon, Carmine, even Catwoman but not Bruce Wayne or Batman. It's ashame. I really wanted this to be iconic. I will have to read the original comic and see where they missed the mark.

First, the positive. The animation and voice acting were great. It had an interesting set up and the world building was decent. That's about it.

The premise from the first movie had promise, but in the end it felt like the writing force things to happen they way they should in order to make the ending happen.

Batman is made to look weak and is constantly getting beaten throughout the two parts, but no one thinks to just kill him. The villains win a lot, until the script needs them to lose so the movie can end. The twist feels out of place, as does Batman's reaction to it.

This had potential, but was a let down in the end.
