'Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two' haunts the shelves this summer


The Dark Knight must fight a unified front of classic DC supervillains, spread a mafia war escalation and solve the mystery of the holiday killer in Batman: The Long Halloween, part two, the thrilling conclusion of the two-part entry of the popular DC Universe Movies series.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, DC and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, the animated feature - which will be accompanied by DC Showcase's latest animated short, Blue Beetle - will arrive on July 27 digitally and August 10 on Blu-ray (SRP $ 34,98 US / $ 39,99 Canada). The film is rated R for some violence and bloody images.

In 2022, Batman: The Long Halloween, part two will be available on the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack as a cinematic presentation combined with Batman: The Long Halloween, part one.

Inspired by the iconic DC story of the mid-90s by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween, part two continues while the Holiday Killer is still on the loose and, with Bruce Wayne under the spell of the poisonous Poison Ivy, Batman is nowhere to be found. Freed by an unlikely ally, Bruce quickly discovers the real culprit: Poison Ivy's employer Carmine Falcone. The Roman, his ranks decimated by Holiday and his business spiraling out of control, has been forced to involve less desirable partners: Gotham City's thieves' gallery.

Meanwhile, Harvey Dent is facing battles on two fronts: attempting to end the Mafia war while also dealing with a strained marriage. And, after an attack that left Harvey horribly disfigured, the DA unleashes the duality of his psyche that he's been trying to suppress all his life. Now, as Two-Face, Dent decides to take the law into his own hands and judge those who have wronged him, his family and all of Gotham. Ultimately, the Dark Knight must piece together the tragic pieces that converge to create Two Face, the holiday killer, Batman and Gotham City itself.
