Batman: The Long Halloween makers drop teaser scene ft Jensen Ackles' tense Bruce Wayne

Recently, Warner Bros. released a short video clip from the upcoming Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One. In the Batman: The Long Halloween opening scene, Jensen Ackles' Bruce Wayne and Alastair Duncan's Alfred gain the spotlight. In the video clip, the incident takes place on Halloween at Wayne Manor and Alfred is seen preparing for any potential Trick-or-Treaters. Bruce, on the other hand, laments the fall of Gotham City on Halloween day, a holiday where people are seen putting on costumes, striking fear in the hearts of other people. Alfred here is quick to highlight the irony.

He wishes to form a pact with the city's two uncorrupt policemen- Police Captain, James Gordan, and District Attorney Harvey Dent) to take down the head of the powerful Falcone Crime Family, The Roman. Several other deaths occur on the occasion of Thanksgiving and Christmas which makes it clear that they are dealing with a serial killer and not an ordinary gang.
