The animated adaptation of Batman: The Long Halloween part 1 is coming this summer and now thanks to Bloody Disgusting we have the official rating for the film. It will be PG-13 for
“Violence, bloody images, language and some smoking.”
Part 2 is set to arrive in the Fall and one would assume it will also carry the PG-13 rating unless they really turn the language and brutality up. The Long Halloween will be adapted from one of the most highly regarded storylines in comic book history. The tale comes from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.
“Christmas. St. Patrick’s Day. Easter. As the calendar’s days stack up, so do the bodies littered in the streets of Gotham City. A murderer is loose, killing only on holidays. The only man that can stop this fiend? The Dark Knight. In a mystery taking place during Batman’s early days of crime fighting, Batman: The Long Halloween is one of the greatest Dark Knight stories ever told.
“Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman’s deadly enemy, Two-Face.”
Matt Reeves, The Batman, is said to be adapting parts of The Long Halloween. Exciting times to be a Batman fan that is for sure.
