Family Affair

FOR FANS OF BATMAN comics, Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s The Long Halloween (1996-1997) remains one of the all-time great story runs. It inspired Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and countless other depictions. Now it’s getting an animated adaptation, released in two parts. Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One drops in June, with Jensen Ackles (Supernatural) voicing Bruce Wayne/Batman, Billy Burke as James Gordon and Josh Duhamel (Jupiter’s Legacy) as Harvey Dent, in a story exploring the crime families of Gotham City and the origin story of Two-Face.

Despite his long-time career as an animation scribe, screenwriter Tim Sheridan admits to Red Alert that tackling The Long Halloween caused him “tons of fear and trepidation” because of how revered it is among Batman fans.
