    The way that the number of faces that Harvey has increases as the video goes on is so funny to me.
  • @HallowPool193
    The long Halloween is one of if not the best Batman story line ever
  • Dang we couldve gotten this as a arkham origins 2 but NO we get SSKITJL a game NOBODY asked for.
  • @MrFedoraFilm
    Honestly, a Batman Arkham game centered on The Long Halloween storyline, with elements of its sequel story, Dark Victory, would have been awesome. Call it, Batman: Arkham Halloween, sequel to Arkham Origins. Would have been awesome.
  • @b1ackspid3r43
    My best guess for those changes with Moroni, Grundy & Falcone are... 1. Batman is able to push Moroni out of the way of Holiday's bullet saving him, 2. Grundy was probably replaced by Killer Croc since he tends to hide out in the sewers 3. Since Batman had a disruptor at this point, I'm assuming that Batman disrupted Two-Face's gun stopping him from killing Falcone
  • @georgekawert4105
    It's mind-blowing the amount of ways the Arkham Universe could have continued without Suicide Squat: Kill the Arkhamvers. Your idea literally could've been the original idea for WB Montreal Origins sequel. Batman: Arkham Halloween. Personally, and this is just my opinion but I prefer the Arkham Beyond Damian Wayne game that was going to be the sequel to Arkham Knight. But hey at least in the end of the day we can have headcanons for what it could have been in the Arkham Universe.
  • @The_Phantasm
    0:47 That's actually incorrect. In the comic, it was Harvey that initially started the killings and after he stopped, it was Gilda that took up the role of Holiday, which Harvey didn't realise until the very end and kept it a secret. Alberto Falcone was never actually the Holiday killer and only mistakenly thought he was because of his mental disorder.

    I love the Long Halloween and I would love to see a Long Halloween game. It could really lean into the detective angle as well as having a huge roster of villains like all of the Arkham games. Arkham City helped repopularise Calendar Man as well. We should get another Arkham trilogy of prequels. A Long Halloween game and maybe a game where we see Robin. Hopefully a Dark Victory adaptation which is my favourite Batman comic.
  • The Long Halloween has been my favorite Batman story ever since I read it for the first time back in the late '90s. ...Christ,I'm old! Ugh!
  • @evanwirth7881
    I honestly think croc makes more sense that Grundy since it was in the sewers and that’s where croc usually hangs out
  • @REaDComicsau
    What an awesome deep dive! Once again it’s proven how detailed and rich and amazing the Arkhamverse is!
  • @blistow3519
    Also a change from the comics is Robin Arkham timeline wise Dick Grayson Robin is in his early days of being active (unless I’m mistaken) which means he’s probably involved in this. Which is also interesting as he’s got his own complicated relationship with one of the mob family’s as they killed his parents meaning he might be think holiday isn’t that bad
  • @Revali69420
    Bro this is what makes these games incredible they have actually comic related lore, but suicide squad has what some graffiti and a couple of references it has no intestine lore within in metropolis. Also I would really want a Batman white knight game made by Rocksteady just cause it has joker and feels like a story that could have a great adaption in game form.
  • @effpe_
    I think that "The Long Halloween" is one of the best Batman stories ever and btw, I just love these type of videos, hope we'll see more of this in the future. Keep up bro
  • @arjunwali9885
    I think the movie did a great job adapting and even improving on the comic by giving Gilda a far more personal motivation to attack the Falcone’s (having her and Alberto be former lovers and carmine breaking them up and taking her kid from her and Alberto not standing up for her) it also makes the baby bottle nipple a lot more unique
  • If they ever did a Arkham Origins 2 they would’ve definitely done this story line
  • @Brazzo186
    Love this video, thanks for your work ❤
  • @Arkhambatpro564
    i want an origins sequel that is based around the long halloween
