Everything Wrong With Batman: The Long Halloween (Part 1)

Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1. Yep. They made this a two-parter. Let's just be honest here, the source material is an all-time classic, but the translation to animated film didn't go so well. Lots and lots of sins.

Next week: Bet you can guess at least one of the vids for next week... the other is a recent arty movie.

Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movies sins should we count next?

Man, that joke about Gordon growing to regret not letting Barbara run more was dark, but it really did make me laugh out loud. 🤣🤣👏

"It's an absurd holiday" ... From the guy who dresses up as the thing that frightened him as a child to channel that fear into others...
That's literally half of the origin of Halloween... 😅

RE: Having a corpse on the front page is a thing that actually did happen when Ernie Kovacs died. It sort of spurred a change in that regard.

12:22 To be fair, Bruce Wayne is the most notable Bruce in the city. If someone yells out "Elon, " I would assume it is Elon Musk despite there being hundreds of Elons in the world.

5:52 - Nice to see a sin removal for the fact that Batman doesn't KILL people...but he WILL cause you all kinds of non-lethal pain.

I've been watching this channel for years. YEARS. and the joke about Babs running is one of the funniest sins you've ever done. I spit out my lemonade lol

I’m sure somebody said it already, but just in case:

The Long Halloween did NOT steal concepts from The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight was loosely based ON The Long Halloween, which was an iconic comic storyline from 1996… WAY before The Dark Knight was ever a thing.

Three requests: Sharkboy and Lavagirl, The Cat in the Hat (2003), and War of the Worlds (2005)

"I didn't even know Hot Topic SOLD Christmas ornaments."

Nah, Joker got that shit at Spenser's.

[moviemindset_]

Throwing shades at Film Theory for doing the maths on the stack of cash for the Batman Dark Knight movie and same time complimenting MatPat effort for going down that route. Classic sin lmaoo

[TurinAlexander]

Those ridiculously impractical knives are Chinese deer horn knives, sometimes called crescent knives. They are used in martial arts to trap enemy's weapons and disarm them. The are used in pairs and are easily concealed in traditional Chinese clothing.

Also know as "Batman being a shitty detective who accuses everyone in the movie until he breaks into someone's basement and lucky finds all the evidence he needs" The Movie

"Something tells me in the near future Jim you're going to regret not letting Barbara run"

Jokes on you, Cinemasins. Barbara gets better.

[kenoxide]

That part about regretting not letting Barbara run😭

[jlev]

Also, yeah, this is the most skintight Catwoman costume I've seen in animation to the point where it almost looks painted on, but I don't know. It's not like boob socks are inherently sinful.

[theponyofglory]

Do "Everything Wrong With Batman: Gotham By Gaslight" i loved the concept of that one the Dark Knight going up against Jack The Ripper.

[detroitshinobi]

Jensen akles as Bruce is amazing Dean has come a long way from Supernatural.

5:19 - 5:30
Yeah, I have to agree with this one here. In the comic, Bruce/Batman and Harvey decided to burn the cash at once. Catwoman never gave them the idea (Plus, why would she be casually carrying a match with her?) Also, why would Bruce give Harvey the coin, or even why does he even need a two-headed coin to begin with, if the coin is meant to belong to Harvey?

[stefansamoyloff]

When Gordon replays that night in his mind, I think "oh my god why didn't I spend more time connecting with James? Was the ghost costume a clue? Could I have stopped him?" is going to come up a lot more then letting Barbara run.

Man, it really sucks to be Gordon.

[duckerdoo]

1:58 Bruce Wyane: "It's an absurd holiday".
Also Bruce Wayne: "I'm Batman"!
