We’ve learned the sad news this afternoon that Eisner Award-winning comics artist Tim Sale, who co-created Batman: The Long Halloween, has passed away this week at the age of 66.

“It’s with a heavy sadness that I must announce that Tim Sale passed away today,” a tweet sent this afternoon from Tim Sale’s official Twitter account lets the world know. “He passed with the love of his life beside him, and loves all of you very much. Please share photos and stories under this post, as we hope to share them with the community.”

Working alongside frequent partner Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale did the artwork for the popular Batman: The Long Halloween series, a 13-issue run released between 1996 and 1997. The beloved Batman story was adapted into a two-part animated movie by DC just last year.

Other notable superhero comics drawn by Tim Sale span DC and Marvel and include Batman: Haunted Knight, Batman: Dark Victory, Superman for All Seasons, Superman Confidential, Catwoman: When in Rome, Daredevil: Yellow, Spider-Man: Blue, and Hulk: Gray.

Tim Sale is a true legend in the comic book industry, today and forever more, considered by many Batman fans to be the best artist to ever bring the Caped Crusader to life. All of us here at Bloody Disgusting send our deepest condolences to Sale’s friends, family, and colleagues.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
