We're not quite ready to put Halloween behind us, so we decided to take a look at a story about one that seemingly never ends. On this episode, we're opening up a case file on The Holiday Killer from Batman: The Long Halloween and investigating the origins of this seminal comic book and the recent animated adaptation. Topics include: the previous collaborations between writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale that set the stage for The Long Halloween, why getting into comic books can sometimes feel impenetrable for prospective new readers, setting the appropriate level of stakes for a Batman story, the two different eras and styles they're attempting to bridge here, complicated feelings about the ending, the aspects the animated version streamlines or changes, the various sequels and spin-offs, The Long Halloween's impact and influence on other Batman media, and much more!
