For a while, there have been whispers that one of THE BATMAN‘s comic book inspirations is THE LONG HALLOWEEN. Not an adaptation, but pulling a few things from the classic Batman story just as Christopher Nolan did for THE DARK KNIGHT.
If so, Jeffery Wright — who is playing “GCPD’s James Gordon” in THE BATMAN seems to be doing his homework…
THE LONG HALLOWEEN is a Batman classic and there’s nothing wrong at all with taking a bit of inspiration from it. If I had to guess, it’ll be the solving a crime/detective aspect of the TLH that Matt Reeves will incorporate into THE BATMAN.
