Those skills are tested when a series of killings began to eliminate known associates of Carmine “The Roman” Falcone with each killing occurring on different holiday’s starting with Halloween. The Long Halloween follows Batman’s early career as he begins to hone on his detective skills. Paring it along side the likes of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One, Batman: Hush also by Jeph Loeb or Scott Snyder’s The Court of Owls. Many Batman and DC fans could ultimately agree on the impact and influence The Long Halloween has made on comics, let alone Batman stories. However the truly breakout performance comes from Josh Duhmel as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, perfectly capturing both sides to Dents coin as a heroic District Attorney and internally damaged Two-Face. Following Ackles is Naya Rivera’s final film role at Selina Kyle/Catwoman who still gives a smooth and seductive take on Catwoman that we are used to, but also adds a sense of desperation and depth to her performance. Now with the direction Warner Media plans on taking the DC property we are happy and satisfied with Ackles as our new Batman. As the former Robin takes on the role as Batman he manages to give both an emotionally resonate version of Bruce Wayne and a stoic but brooding Batman. There's a genuine sense of tension and inevitability to it all - you can feel Batman's exhaustion and desperation in every panel.Directed by Chris Palmer, with a captivating new voice actor for The Dark Knight, Jensen ackles returns to the DC animation landscape after his memorable performance as Jason Todd/Red Hood in Batman: Under the Red Hood in 2010. The subsequent "KnightQuest" and "KnightsEnd" storylines cover the details of Batman's eventual replacement, as well as Bruce Wayne's fight to return to health, but the resurrection of the Bat isn't quite as interesting as his downfall. Despite a large number of contributing writers and artists, it's a gripping read. "Knightfall" is a wonderful example of a lengthy storyline done right. Batman is already mentally broken, so Bane makes sure his body follows suit, breaking Batman's back and crippling him.


When he's at his lowest point, his willpower and strength all but gone, Batman is confronted at Wayne Manor by Bane, the supervillain having determined his nemesis' secret identity. With Gotham City in chaos, Batman is pushed to his limits as he tries to recapture them all.

Bane, one of Batman's few equals in both mental and physical prowess, frees all the maximum security inmates from Arkham Asylum.
