IGN has premiered the official trailer for the first installment of the two-part Batman: The Long Halloween, which sees Jensen Ackles voicing Bruce Wayne.

Directed by Chris Palmer, who recently worked on Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Batman: The Long Halloween is an animated adaptation of the iconic comic book limited series of the same name from writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale. The animated film was written by Tim Sheridan. You can watch the trailer for part one below.

Here is the synopsis for the original Batman: The Long Halloween comic book series from Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale:
“Taking place during Batman’s early days of crime fighting, this collection tells the story of a mysterious killer who murders his prey only on holidays. Working with District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant James Gordon, Batman races against the calendar as he tries to discover who Holiday is before he claims his next victim each month. A mystery that has the reader continually guessing the identity of the killer, this story also ties into the events that transform Harvey Dent into Batman’s deadly enemy, Two-Face.”
