Interesting to see that the crazy Joker goon from The Dark Knight is now Polka Dot Man in live action and Calendar Man in animation.

"This is crazy; I've never seen this many heroes [five Society members] working together."

I guess this is another tip-off that this Barry Allen comes from a pre-Justice League era?

Justice Society: World War II Started as a Wonder Woman Series

Producer Butch Lukic revealed that he was developing a Wonder Woman series that during World War II that never came to pass. After the success of the 2017 live-action Wonder Woman film, Lukic incorporated some of the ideas for the series as he was developing pitches for the next wave of DC animated movies.

"When we had to pitch to DC storylines we were going to produce for the DC Animated Universe — obviously, we've got to do Batman which we ended up doing as The Long Halloween and we restarted a new version of Superman — this came about because I wanted to do a World War II story with Wonder Woman, because I initially had a pitch with DC Access to do a Wonder Woman series based in World War II," Lukic tells CBR.

"This was before the first Wonder Woman movie came out; while we were pitching it, we found out that they were doing a World War I take on Wonder Woman. And I thought it would be good to do this as a series, but the development didn't last long because they didn't think Wonder Woman had legs, not until the movie came out that they realized 'Oh shit, this is a moneymaker.' So I just took some of the ideas that we had for that series and applied them towards this film."

It's been a long time since I read The Long Halloween, but doesn't Robin show up in it (it's later in the story, I think, so if they used him in the movie, I suppose it'd be in Part 2)?

I like the art style. It's not Tim Sale (which is okay with me; I respect Sale's talents, but just don't care for his style) but it's pretty attractive.

Robin is in the sequel, Dark Victory.

Basically, what The Long Halloween does for Two-Face's origin, Dark Victory does for Robin's origin.

I'm not totally up to speed on it, but I think Robin (Dick) shows up in Dark Victory.

Dont' quote me on that.

I hope they don’t cut out the parts with the other villains like Scarecrow and Mad Hatter’s romp.

Though Grundy being there does alleviate concerns.

[up][up][up] I mean I don’t think any of these movies ever adapt the art-styles of the original stories.

[up] I'll say the Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and Justice League: The New Frontier looked like active attempts to adapt the character designs and art style of their source material.

Otherwise, yeah, the movies usually tend to do their own thing (especially if they're retooled to fit a current animated universe or in-house style).

The Long Halloween already shares the aesthetics of Superman: Man of Tomorrow and the upcoming Justice Society. (Which isn't an issue to me, as I actually like the look).

But it does reminded me of people vocally disappointed that The Killing Joke didn't even try in that department. Hence this semi-popular fan edit:

Do you mean Bart Allen ?

He said this:

"They’re perceptive. It wasn’t Wally or Bart. I intended our Kid Flash in the flashback to be a young Barry. Didn’t name check him but made sure his coloring matched up."

Man, poor OG Wally can't catch a break. It kind of reminds of the days where DC (specifically Didio) banned Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain everywhere, even from a harmless cameo in the Smallville comic continuation series.

New clip.

Man this reminds me of Invincible.

Love Barry's characterization. He's essentially a hyperactive nerd through a combo of his scientist nature and his superspeed offering a unique way of experiencing and perceiving the world. He's really cute here.
