To create multiline batch comments, start each line with the double colon ::
:: This is the first line :: This is the second line

NOTES:

Inside nested parts (IF/ELSE, FOR loops, etc...) :: should be followed with normal line, otherwise it gives error (use REM there).
if they are not in the beginning of line, then add ampersand & sign character, for example
echo "Hello world!" & :: This is an inline comment.
