Host Anthony Desiato and guest Ryan Lower (The Batman Book Club) shine a light on Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale’s original Gotham City epic — “Batman: The Long Halloween,” now in its 30th anniversary year — along with the two-part animated film adaptation.
They discuss the story’s role in their personal Bat fandoms, its ties to “Batman: Year One,” whether the mystery payoff satisfies, the effectiveness of the art and the holiday setting, how the series inspired “The Dark Knight,” and more.
