Why DC Writer Tim Sheridan Thinks ‘It Would Be Madness’ For Matt Reeves’ The Batman Not To Draw From The Long Halloween

Published as a 13-issue limited series from 1996 to 1997, Batman: The Long Halloween saw Bruce Wayne trying to apprehend a serial killer named Holiday, who, as you can infer, murdered people on holidays. Along with Batman running into familiar faces from his rogues gallery during this journey, The Long Halloween also followed District Attorney Harvey Dent working with Batman and James Gordon to overthrow the Falcone crime family, only to fall into darkness himself. Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale later reunited for the follow-up stories Batman: Dark Victory and Catwoman: When in Rome.
