While we wait for animated movie Batman: The Long Halloween Part 2, we’ve learned today that a brand new continuation of the original comic tale is on the way this Halloween!
DC announced today that Batman: The Long Halloween Special, a continuation of the Eisner Award-winning series Batman: The Long Halloween, arrives on October 12, 2021!
The press release explains, “From the creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, the 48-page special will be available at local comic shops for $7.99.”
“Join the team for the return of the Batman Halloween specials and a mystery that could destroy Batman, Commissioner Gordon, Two-Face, and…well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it?”
“Twenty-five years ago, Tim Sale and I set out to tell a mystery tale of how Gotham City went from crime to freaks,” said Jeph Loeb. “The result was Batman: The Long Halloween. We’re thrilled to be back at DC revisiting some of our favorite characters all the while revealing that you may not know the whole story…”
“As it has always been, working together on Batman has brought out the best of Jeph and myself as Gotham City storytellers,” added Tim Sale. “We have been blessed to have the mighty talents of Comicraft’s Richard Starkings with us every step of the way, and we are very fortunate to welcome colorist, Brennan Wagner, to help shape our latest venture.”
