DC's acclaimed comic book story Batman: The Long Halloween has just unveiled the opening scene of the first half of its animated adaptation, pitting Bruce Wayne into a shadowy meeting.
In Carmine Falcone's penthouse office overlooking Gotham City, the crime lord evokes the relationship between Bruce's parents and the Falcone family in an effort to garner Bruce's support with his syndicate. A stoic Bruce is more focused on the cityscape than his host, intoning that he believes in Gotham City.
A previously released scene revealed Bruce back at Wayne Manor as Alfred Pennyworth prepared for Halloween, decrying the nature of the holiday while Alfred prepare to entertain any potential trick-or-treaters.
The Long Halloween adapts the comic book story of the same name, created by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale and originally published in 1996. The first part will be released this June, with the second installment completing the adaptation's story slated for digital release in July.
Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One stars Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Naya Rivera as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Josh Duhamel as Harvey Dent, Billy Burke as James Gordon, Titus Welliver as Carmine Falcone, David Dastmalchian as Calendar Man, Troy Baker as Joker, Amy Landecker as Barbara Gordon, Julie Nathanson as Gilda Dent, Jack Quaid as Alberto, Fred Tatasciore as Solomon Grundy and Alastair Duncan as Alfred, along with Frances Callier, Greg Chun, Gary Leroi Gray and Jim Pirri. The film is scheduled for release on June 22. Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two arrives digitally on July 27 and on Blu-ray on Aug. 10.
