The Halloween Event That Was Rather Long

Straying from their formula of focusing (almost) exclusively on the more obscure aspects of the Batmythos, Joe and Kendall jump headlong into the beloved The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale. If you had ever hoped for a proper Year One follow up, Bat-Fanatics, this is it! Be sure to pack a windbreaker because Joe and Kendall race the Flash through the plot as they make their way back to the Batcave. Why the Batcave, you ask? Because they’ll need the finest Batmicroscope to complete their (far too) in-depth analysis! Pull out your copy of The Long Halloween and listen to the results . . . you won’t want to miss it!
