Loeb has a ready comparison to other media: "It's important that we talk because of how detailed my scripts are. I would say 'like when Neal Adams did this.' or 'remember in The Thin Man when this happened.?' That kind of stuff.
There was an awful lot of back-and-forth and getting to know each other and learning the craft together so that by the time we got to the first Halloween special, we were just talking on the phone constantly about each page and what we were going to do. "But as we worked together, we found that we're about the same age and have so many of the same cultural touchpoints: What made us laugh, what worked for us in comics and movies and TV. He came from movies and TV, where he wrote and was a producer," Sale recalls. "Jeph had never written a comic before we worked together.
So it just felt like, 25 years later, there were still some secrets that we purposely left there, because who doesn't love a great secret? This was an opportunity to sort of go back and pull on that thread and hope that people who've been so kind as to talk about the book for 25 years will enjoy this epilogue." "People like Chris Nolan and David Goyer were very kind talking about it with the Dark Knight trilogy, and then Matt Reeves has been talking about it for his new Batman movie, and obviously the animated movie just came out and it lives on without us. "It's certainly been very present throughout the years," Loeb tells EW. Now, Loeb and Sale themselves are getting in on the action with a new one-shot sequel comic, Batman: The Long Halloween Special, out this week from DC Comics. released a two-part animated film version of Batman: The Long Halloween (you can watch EW's roundtable with the voice cast above). Originally published in 1996, The Long Halloween has cast a large influence over subsequent Batman stories such as Christopher Nolan's movie adaptations - Batman Begins cast Tom Wilkinson as The Long Halloween's gangster villain Carmine Falcone, while The Dark Knight's story about Harvey Dent/Two-Face took a lot from the comic's portrayal of the character. Batman: The Long Halloween is one such story, a 12-issue holiday-themed murder mystery by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale. But amidst that decades-long deluge, a few landmarks of storytelling stand out. As one of the most popular superheroes ever created, Batman has been the subject of many, many comic books over the years.
