Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released wide a new clip from Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two, the concluding chapter of the two-part DC Universe Movie adaptation. Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and DC, the animated feature is available now on Digital, hence the promotional clip, and coming August 10, 2021 on Blu-ray. The creative team behind Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two returns to complete the two-part feature. Click on the player below to view the clip.
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment describes the animated feature as follows:
Inspired by the iconic mid-1990s DC story from Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two continues as the Holiday Killer is still at large and, with Bruce Wayne under the spell of the venomous Poison Ivy, Batman is nowhere to be found. Liberated by an unlikely ally, Bruce quickly uncovers the real culprit: Poison Ivy’s employer Carmine Falcone. The Roman, his ranks decimated by Holiday and his business spinning out of control, has been forced to bring on less desirable partners – Gotham City’s rogues’ gallery. In the meantime, Harvey Dent is confronting battles on two fronts: attempting to end the mob war while also dealing with a strained marriage. And, after an attack that leaves Harvey hideously disfigured, the District Attorney unleashes the duality of his psyche that he’s strived his entire life to suppress. Now, as Two-Face, Dent decides to take the law into his own hands and deliver judgment to those who’ve wronged him, his family and all of Gotham. Ultimately, the Dark Knight must put together the tragic pieces that converged to create Two-Face, the Holiday Killer, Batman and Gotham City itself.

DC Comics also released this press write-up concerning the launch of Justice League Infinity:
Justice League Unlimited, the second groundbreaking animated series focusing on DC’s premiere superteam, ended its far-too-short run in 2008. For many viewers, it was their first exposure to the Justice League, and it’s continued to introduce young superhero fans to the team and their adversaries in the years since. However, the reality is that once you reach that last episode—the Dwayne McDuffie-written “Destroyer,” for those keeping score—that’s just about it. Not only have there been no more Justice League Unlimited episodes, there have been no more series set in the shared animated universe kicked off by Batman: The Animated Series period.
That changes [on July 6], although you won’t find the newest chapter on any TV network or streaming service. Rather, you’ll want to look towards your local comic shop as writers James Tucker and J.M. DeMatteis and artist Ethen Beavers launch Justice League Infinity, an all-new title set within the show’s world that launches [July 6]. If you’re a fan of DC animation, you likely know the names Tucker and DeMatteis. Tucker was a Justice League Unlimited producer who went on to oversee the direction of the DC Universe animated movies, producing a series of interconnected films that culminated last year. DeMatteis served as a writer on Justice League Unlimited and has scripted many of the animated movies that Tucker produced, including Justice League Dark, Batman vs. Robin and Superman: Red Son. In other words, these guys understand DC animation like few others, so rest assured that Justice League Infinity feels (and looks, thanks to Beavers’ striking work) like the series that it’s continuing.
