Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two

Another example of how the comic book world has grown to a place for sophisticated stories told through stunning animation rival any live-action comic book inspired film.

With the film's colorful cast of characters and surprising twists to a story already full of mystery and intrigue, Part Two was mostly satisfying and I'd argue a mostly successful conclusion to the Long Halloween story.

This is a very good, if graphic, contribution to the Batman canon that's ultimately best enjoyed by superfans.

Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two is a great Batman experience and combined with Part One makes it one of the best Batman films made, live-action films included.

Anyone who has seen Nolan's trilogy or The Animated Series will find themselves in familiar territory here, but The Long Halloween does it with just enough style and panache to make the return journey feel worthwhile.

The pacing in The Long Halloween Part Two is a bit of a drag with the chat-heavy middle section, but it really picks up in the third act in a truly worthwhile way.

Ackles has a deep resonance to his voice which is perfect for the caped crusader.

A step above the usual DC animated offerings, The Long Halloween, Part 2 delivers its gut punch in a manner that creeps up on the viewer.

Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two brings the epic crime drama and murder mystery to a thrilling conclusion. It continues the masterful character development and riveting narrative without missing a beat.

Part 2 comes out the gate swinging as the body count rises with each passing month.
