Even despite splitting Long Halloween into two separate films, there were an embarrassment of riches that unfortunately never made the final cut.Īhead of the release of Batman: The Long Halloween, Part 2 which arrives on Digital tomorrow, I had to chance to chat with Butch Lukic about his original plans to produce bonus animated shorts from the story elements they inevitably cut from the original comic. Indeed, translating the seminal storyline, which sees the Caped Crusader racing against the calendar stop the mysterious Holiday Killer plaguing Gotham City’s mob underworld, involved a number of challenges in order to do the original source material justice. To quote a famous proverb, “best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” As producer Butch Lukic revealed in previous interviews the release of Batman: The Long Halloween, the animated adaptation of the Eisner-award winning miniseries from writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, was pushed back due to various factors outside of his control.
