TRAILER

INTERVIEW

synopsis

Inspired by the iconic mid-1990s DC 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 and powerful Falcone Crime Family. But 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 project is produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros.
 
Jensen Ackles leads the cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne. Other stars include Josh Duhamel as Harvey Dent, Titus Welliver as Carmine Falcone, David Dastmalchian as Calendar Man, Troy Baker as Joker, Amy Landecker as Barbara Gordon, Julie Nathanson as Gilda Dent, Jack Quaid as Alberto, Fred Tatasciore as Solomon Grundy, and Alastair Duncan as Alfred.

reviews

Billy Burke is FANTASTIC. Under the direction of the great Wes Gleason, he delivers a Gordon that is steady and true, but with something simmering under the surface that longtime fans will recognize. Gordon’s life is about to get very complex, and Billy’s work is pointing us there.
– Tim Sheridan, screenwriter
 
Part One boasts an impressive voice cast. Billy Burke is a perfect match for Jim Gordon.

The voice cast might be the strongest ensemble assembled for a Batman project. Duhamel and Burke deliver the core personalities of their characters. Burke gives Gordon a progressive sense of weariness in facing Gotham’s worst.
