A new clip from Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One has been released, and it takes us inside Arkham Asylum for a tense meeting between the Dark Knight, Jim Gordon, and Calendar Man.
The villainous Julian Day is clearly enjoying toying with Batman here, and that's something we spoke to actor David Dastmalchian about during a recent interview. "Julian is powerless because he’s locked away in a prison cell probably for the rest of his life," The Suicide Squad star told us, "so the opportunity to feel a sense of power and manipulation and to toy with the Caped Crusader was something to be revelled in."
It's a great clip, and you can check out our spoiler-free review of The Long Halloween here.
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.
