Ep. 182 - Elseworlds - Batman: The Long Halloween Part I

It's the spooooooooooookiest weekend of the year and to celebrate, the Good Brothers are taking a trip around the Multiverse for a two part extravaganza reviewing both parts of Batman: The Long Halloween. This week the hosts discuss Part One, which adapts the first four issues of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's iconic maxi-series focusing on Batman, Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon taking on the biggest crime families in Gotham and trying to uncover the identity of the mysterious Holiday killer. Hear Liam talk about the influence of the source material on his Batman-fandom, where the film deviates from the original plot and if it affects the film in a positive or negative way. Also hear various DCAU influences in the movie, how the choice to steer clear of Tim Sale's iconic art-style impacted Cal's enjoyment of the film and whether or not this film can be judged on its' own merits outside of part two. Plus how Jensen Ackles turn as Batman is received compared to his prior performance in a Batman Animated flick. All of this and plenty more discourse await you on this week's episode of the DCAU Review!
