Inspired by the iconic mid-1990s DC story from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two continues as the Holiday Killer is still at large and, with Bruce Wayne under the spell of the venomous Poison Ivy, Batman is nowhere to be found. Liberated by an unlikely ally, Bruce quickly uncovers the real culprit: Poison Ivy's employer Carmine Falcone. The Roman, his ranks decimated by Holiday and his business spinning out of control, has been forced to bring on less desirable partners -- Gotham City's rogues' gallery. In the meantime, Harvey Dent is confronting battles on two fronts: attempting to end the mob war while also dealing with a strained marriage. And, after an attack that leaves Harvey hideously disfigured, the District Attorney unleashes the duality of his psyche that he's strived his entire life to suppress. Now, as Two-Face, Dent decides to take the law into his own hands and deliver judgment to those who've wronged him, his family and all of Gotham. Ultimately, the Dark Knight must put together the tragic pieces that converged to create Two-Face, the Holiday Killer, Batman and Gotham City itself.

The Long Halloween Part 2 is a satisfying conclusion to the animated adaptation of the popular Batman graphic novel. It picks up where Part 1 left off, and while it's slightly better in some aspects, it still has some flaws. One of the highlights of the film is the depiction of Poison Ivy and Scarecrow. Both villains are given ample screen time and are portrayed with a level of depth that adds complexity to the story. Poison Ivy's seductive yet dangerous nature and Scarecrow's psychological terror make for compelling adversaries for Batman to face. The film's plot unfolds in a gripping manner, with the mystery of the Holiday Killer slowly unraveling piece by piece. The brutal and emotional ways in which the mystery is solved add intensity to the story, keeping viewers engaged until the end. The darker and more mature tone of the film is well-executed, showcasing the gritty and violent nature of Gotham City. The animation style maintains the same dark and noir-inspired aesthetic as Part 1, which enhances the overall atmosphere of the film. The voice cast also delivers solid performances, with Jensen Ackles reprising his role as Batman and providing a brooding and determined portrayal of the Dark Knight. However, like Part 1, the film still suffers from pacing issues, with some scenes feeling rushed and others dragging on. The extensive cast of characters can also be overwhelming at times, and not all of them receive the same level of development, which can leave some storylines feeling unresolved. Overall, The Long Halloween Part 2 is a decent conclusion to the two-part adaptation. Fans of the original graphic novel will appreciate the faithful portrayal of Poison Ivy and Scarecrow, as well as the gritty and emotional tone of the story. Despite some flaws in pacing and character development, it's an enjoyable watch for Batman fans who are looking for a darker and more mature take on the Caped Crusader's adventures.

The film does an excellent job closing out the mysteries of the first film, with some twists. How Harvey is handled, as well as Bruce's arc, are incredible. Only complaint: could have used a little bit more context around Harvey's transition into what he becomes, motivation wise. Otherwise, amazing animated Batman film that is not to be missed by lovers of Batman or a good mystery.

Another example of how the comic book world has grown to a place for sophisticated stories told through stunning animation rival any live-action comic book inspired film.

With the film's colorful cast of characters and surprising twists to a story already full of mystery and intrigue, Part Two was mostly satisfying and I'd argue a mostly successful conclusion to the Long Halloween story.

This is a very good, if graphic, contribution to the Batman canon that's ultimately best enjoyed by superfans.

Anyone who has seen Nolan's trilogy or The Animated Series will find themselves in familiar territory here, but The Long Halloween does it with just enough style and panache to make the return journey feel worthwhile.

The pacing in The Long Halloween Part Two is a bit of a drag with the chat-heavy middle section, but it really picks up in the third act in a truly worthwhile way.
