History YMMV / BatmanTheLongHalloween

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Sofia Falcone only appears in part 2, in a supporting role, but is one of the more popular characters for retaining her comic counterpart's formidability while also getting a little more vulnerability to her character and [[spoiler:not ending up as the Hangman Killer in the aftermath of the Long Halloween due to her DeathByAdaptation.]] * SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:

** Many fans of ''ComicBook/BatmanDarkVictory'' mourn how the changes to the fates and actions of several Falcones cause the story to diverge in a way that makes it extremely doubtful that story will ever be a sequel to this movie, especially since ''Dark Vixtory'' has already tended to get ignored in adaptations that borrow from ''The Long Halloween'' despite being widely viewed as an equal or superior sequel.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/DavidDastmalchian voices Calendar Man in this adaptation. One month later, he would appear in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' as Polka-Dot Man, who gets ''bullied by Calendar Man'' in one scene.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: [[spoiler:While Gilda's reasons for becoming Holiday are sympathetic, her lack of regret for Alberto's death and how her actions unintentionally turned Harvey into Two-Face can make her this to some viewers. She says she doesn't regret Alberto's, who deeply regrets what happened between them and before getting killed seemed like he was going to say he would rather be with her than with his family. She spares no thought or care for what sort of life Alberto must have been trapped in or how what happened would have affected him, though it's understandable to an extent why she wouldn't. With Harvey while she explains that she did love him, she seems to push most of the blame of Two-Face on him and admits she only married him since he was her best chance to see Falcone brought to justice. She tells Batman that since Harvey had his own demons she was forced to confront her own by herself, but she seems to suggest that his were far worse that her own despite the fact that his mental issues were worsened by her actions as Holiday, so her claims that she feels alone come across as hollow. She also admits she only married Harvey to get revenge on the Falcone's and only fell in love with him near the end, meaning she always intended to get revenge.]]

* TheWoobie: Alberto Falcone is the abused son of the mob boss Carmine Falcone. His father neglected him through his whole life, sending him to a boarding school when he was still in diapers, and then forced him to give up his girlfriend. [[spoiler:If that wasn't enough, unlike the comics, he's not Holiday, and wants nothing to do with the crime family and would [[IJustWantToBeNormal rather just live a normal life]], despite Batman accusing him. He ends up getting killed by Holiday (who was said girlfriend) and [[NoKillLikeOverkill shredded by a ship propeller]].]] You can't help but feel really bad for the guy and wish that he had a better end.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Carmine's lifelong mistreatment of his son Alberto [[spoiler:stemming from Alberto's conception forcing Carmine to be "rid" of his mistress (Selina's mother); and/or later did Carmine force Gilda's child with Alberto to be aborted just to lash out at his son for committing the same "stupidity" (his wife's and his mistress's simultaneous pregnancies) he himself did]]?

** A few fans have expressed disappointment that the character designs don’t resemble Tim Sale’s memorable and surreal depictions, instead giving the movie an art-style similar to that of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanManOfTomorrow'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeSocietyWorldWarII''.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Basically everything involving [[ButtMonkey Calendar Man]], from being forced to acknowledge it's Taco Tuesday by an eager security guard, to [[spoiler:being the ''only one'' left in his cell when Two-Face broke all the other villains out, because he made a wrong call of tails against a coin toss.]]

* SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced:
** The knowledge that ''ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'', widely regarded as a quintessential ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' story, will finally receive an AnimatedAdaptation has fans rejoicing in advance, a factor only enhanced by [[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-the-long-halloween-part-one-sets-voice-cast-exclusive the first promotional image]].
** The announcement that Creator/TroyBaker, considered by many fans to be one of the few Joker voice actors whose performance holds a candle to the legendary Creator/MarkHamill, will return in the role has been met with applause by fans. Baker even uses a voice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ7wbwkzNS0&t=2s similar to that of Hamill]].
** To a lesser extent, people are excited to hear Creator/JensenAckles, who previously voiced Jason Todd in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood'', in the role of Batman.
