“Putting on costumes and striking fear” is kind of Bruce Wayne’s whole thing. Regardless, even the billionaire playboy has his limits. Warner Bros. Animation has just released the first official clip from Batman: The Long Halloween, Part 1, which shows Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth having a quiet All Hallow’s Eve at Wayne Manor
Despite the movie’s title, the night’s festivities (or lack thereof) aren’t the main focus of Bruce and Alfred’s conversation. Instead, they reflect on (what else?) the dismal state of Gotham City. And of course, it wouldn’t be a discussion about the rising criminal element if Bruce didn’t stare longingly at the portrait of his parents hanging above the fireplace. Bruce expresses his misgivings about the state of things. But like always, Alfred steps in to reassure him.

The Long Halloween, Part 1 is the first installment of a two-part adaptation of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s acclaimed comic storyline.
