The latest clip from Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One once again puts the spotlight on Jensen Ackles' Dark Knight, and this action-packed sequence follows the hero as he races through the mean streets of Gotham City in the Batmobile. As you might expect, he has Alfred Pennyworth lending a helping hand, and it's clear that this version of Batman is definitely one cool customer.
It's going to be very interesting to see (hear?) what the Supernatural alum brings to the iconic role, and given how popular his take on the Red Hood was, we have a feeling Ackles will be embraced by fans.
As for the Batmobile, it's a cool design and one that nicely pays homage to the comic books.
Inspired by the classic story from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One begins as a brutal murder on Halloween prompts Gotham's young vigilante, the Batman, to form a pact with the city's only two uncorrupt lawmen (Police Captain James Gordan and District Attorney Harvey Dent) in order to take down The Roman, head of the notorious Falcone Crime Family.
However, when more deaths occur on Thanksgiving and Christmas, it becomes clear that instead of ordinary gang violence, they're also dealing with a serial killer - the identity of whom, with each conflicting clue, grows harder to discern. Few cases have ever tested the wits of the World's Greatest Detective like the mystery behind the Holiday Killer.
Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the all-new feature-length Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One arrives on Digital & Blu-ray on June 22, 2021.
