I did not care for the first part of “The Long Halloween” but this is even worse. Again, it just fails to capture what I like about Batman. It feels so much like “The Godfather” at times that the more typical Batman parts stick out like a sore thumb. There is also just way too much going on and it becomes hard to care about anything because nothing gets a suitable level of focus.

Catwoman rescues Batman (Jensen Ackles) as he has been under Poison Ivy’s control. Now, Batman must return to hunting the mysterious Holiday as the murders continue. Harvey Dent’s attempts to bring Gotham’s gangsters to justice leads to him being horribly disfigured. Batman will have to face his old friend, who has now become Two-Face.

This movie packs in the Batman villains. We have Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, The Joker and others. They feel so different to all the regular criminals that the whole film becomes very confused. The whole plotline with Dent becoming Two-Face feels so rushed as there are so many other things going on. The big reveal about the identity of the Holiday killer isn’t all that interesting. As mentioned with the first part, I don’t really like the animation on the characters.

A lot of people seemed to like the first part and will likely enjoy this conclusion. To me, this was one of the weaker DC animated films in recent years. I have enjoyed many of the animated “Batman” films such as “The Dark Knight Returns” but there have also been plenty of bad ones such as “The Killing Joke”. I hope to see more of the animated films but I just hope that they can start making some more coherent ones that don’t try to cram in too many characters and plot elements.
