A new batch of stills have been released for Batman: The Long Halloween - Part 1, and the spotlight is put squarely on Jensen Ackles (who voiced Jason Todd in Under the Red Hood) as the Dark Knight and Catwoman (played by the late Naya Rivera) along with some of the movie's impressive supporting characters.
There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding this latest DC Animated feature, especially with the Supernatural alum lending his voice to Batman. "The Long Halloween" storyline is also considered a classic, so an adaptation of some sort is definitely long overdue at this stage.
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.
The movie is set to be released on June 22nd, 2021 and was written by Tim Sheridan and directed by Chris Palmer (who previously collaborated on the recent Superman: Man of Tomorrow).
