Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One

It's nice to see dc going back to there original roots instead of having these films in a shears universe I really think this is one of the best things dc had put out animated wise since dark knight returns hush I liked till I saw the ending and I was massively disappointed in really excited for part 2 and I hope they don't change the ending to much like hush but so far what I've seen it's really good when they announced this I was excited but also worried as dc animated film recently haven't been that good if im being honest but I'm glad I was wrong.

"Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One" is a fine kickoff and jump start done in fine animation as it's take on the classic graphic novel is entertaining and interesting a mystery like feel of drama and twist. As the times in Gotham are dark as the power struggles with Captain Gordon, D. A. Dent, and the Falcone crime family all blend in with a new wild card subplot and that's the holiday killer who murders on every holiday! All this blends an underworld of corruption and terror, along the way as Batman becomes involved Catwoman and the Joker play key figures in the chain of events with twist! If you like D. C. comics then yes watch this.

The animation the tone the background music the cast everything is excellent in setting up the type of the batman animated movie we would like to see. It portrays batman in his early years so he has less of detective skill than we are used to which may be covered in part 2 but this movie is as satisfying as a batman movie could be. Do give it a watch.

Definitely has a good story to it, don't expect too much action like other DC animated movies. Less detective work from the Bats to be honest. Voice casting seems perfect, though really sad to hear about Naya Rivera. Can't wait for Part two, how it all ends.

The long Halloween part one is a fascinating and awesome start to this two parter. Even if sometimes the movements of the characters can be stilted at times it makes it up with other great elements in the animation (the action scenes and the designs), the acting is great (Jensen ackles and josh duhamel especially), the action is fun, the story is great (so far), it takes its time (which sets a pretty great atmosphere), the characters are fascinating to watch and the ending offers a good shock. A great animated Batman film and I hope the second part lives up to it.
