WATCH - BATMAN: PUPPET MASTER - A New Fan-Film Movie

BATMAN: PUPPET MASTER is a brand-new short fan-film movie set in Christopher Nolan's modern-day "Dark Knight" universe. The story is meant as a sequel to "The Dark Knight" and it bridges the gap between that film and the current "Dark Knight Rises". This is a film created by fans, for fans, and it delivers an exciting storyline that introduces new versions of Victor Zsasz, The Ventriloquist with Scarface, and Edward Nigma (aka The Riddler), who fans were expecting to appear in Nolan's third Batman film back when there was not a lot news but a ton of speculation.

Overall, this BATMAN fan-film is very excellent. The acting is very decent, the camera work/lighting/editing/sets/costumes/etc are all top-notch. The special effects are very impressive, especially the stuff with Batman's bat-a-rang weapons. Hey, I'll shut-up now so you can enjoy this cool video, WATCH IT!! ( Whoops, as a side note I should say that this fan-film is in NO way associated with Warner Bros or DC Comics )

No, this is a total "Fantasy Piece" created by our Friend and Graphic Designer, Christopher Franchi.

BATMAN - PUPPET MASTER - New Fan Film in the Works

Hey, Check out this cool video presenting an idea for a future Batman Fan-Film titled, BATMAN: PUPPET MASTER. This is a Group Project by a bunch of very talented Film Makers in Los Angeles who are trying to garner support for their movie. They include: Bryan Nest (Director), Chris Wiltz (Writer), Christin Mizelle (Producer) and Ethan Cushing (Producer). 

As you can see from the video the production quality is really excellent. Plus, I love the fact that they're using some very obscure characters like The Ventriloquist/Scarface and Mr. Zsasz. But wait, the main Bat-Villain here is The Riddler! One general idea with this film is that it fills-in the story arch between "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises". I remember when nobody knew who the Villain(s) in the next movie was going to be and everyone speculated "The Riddler". So, this movie might be pretty fun. 

Please check out the video and then be sure to visit their Kickstarter page. At the time of this writing they only have about 13 days to raise the rest of their budget and this looks like a worthy idea.

Plus, more importantly, the Actors can actually ACT, ha!

Video - BATMAN SEEDS OF ARKHAM Fan-Film

The other day a friend told me about a new BATMAN fan-film titled, SEEDS OF ARKHAM. To be honest I was not that excited about it as most of these movies are totally awful, ha! But, out of curiosity I checked it out & was glad I did. SEEDS OF ARKHAM is another short film created by BAT IN THE SUN Productions. This is the team that brought us CITY OF SCARS. In fact, this new movie is sort of a sequel. The costumes, set design, make-up, etc... is done extremely well. They even got a Batmobile Replica Car that not only looks great, but is a major "character" as well. The two main villains in this film are Killer Croc & Poison Ivy. Now, this company plans to make more of these episodes, let's hope they do. They started a Kickstarter page to try to raise more funds. To check it out, just click HERE!

Now, we don't have a copy of this thing yet, nobody does. But we'll be posting it as soon as it's available, please stay tuned.

Video - THE NEW JOKER - a Fan-Made BATMAN Movie

Here's a JOKER FAN-FILM made by a few friends with probably no budget at all. But over all it's put together really well. The basic story is the Joker giving a message to Batman. Also, It's obviously the "Heath Ledger" version from "The Dark Knight" movie. The make-up & acting is pretty decent, check it out!

Video - Batman and Robin in The Janus Factor

Here's an interesting Fan-Made BATMAN CGI Animation Video I found on YouTube from a user named "MarvelZombie2099" and it's his personal homage to Gotham City. He created some really nice Batman and Robin 3-D models and later decided to make an animation starring the Dynamic Duo. His goal was to create a Silver Age Batman story that focused on crime fighting and action without the modern Dark Knight angst. The characters look pretty good & I totally love the Batmobile car! As usual, with Batman, the Villains steal the show!

Video - 1967 Family BATMAN Movie ( Vintage Fan Film )

A friend of ours over at Facebook sent us this link to a really great BATMAN Fan Film. Now the thing that's extremely cool about it is that it was done in 1967! Yes, some kids back then must have had an 8mm camera or something & they put this BATMAN movie together! The thing that's so cool is that the "vintage look" of the movie gives it a lot of charm. Plus, they used some old Batman Halloween Masks as props, which are great to see! They also featured a fun 1966 Batmobile toy car that acts as the car in the movie. It's use is really clever... enjoy!

Video - BATMAN BEYOND Animated Series Fan-Film

Years ago director Michael Valentine attempted to make a fan-film based on the BATMAN BEYOND animated series TV cartoon. Due to some difficulties ( I'm guessing lack of money )the movie was never finished.

VIDEO - JOKER and HARLEY QUINN - PASSING ON THE SMILE - Batman Fan-Made Film

Check this out, here's a brand-new video of a Batman Fan-Film that is starting to get a lot of attention. It's titled PASSING ON THE SMILE & it revolves around the beginning of the JOKER & HARLEY QUINN relationship that started at Arkham Asylum. The production values are good & the actors do a decent acting job. Plus, the shooting locations are impressive for a fan-made film. Now, I don't think I'm ready to do a complete full-review on this movie yet because I have only had time to watch a few parts of it ( it's in 6 parts ). But so far it's been pretty good. So, for everybody who watches it please let me know what you think about it. Enough talk, here's PART ONE down below & you can click inside the video after it's over for Part Two, enjoy.

PARODY, BAT TO THE FUTURE - 1966 BATMAN Tribute Comic Book by Rob Archey

Check it out, here's a brand-new comic book that I know all serious Batman Fans will totally love! It's called PARODY, BAT TO THE FUTURE and was written & drawn by Rob Archey. The book is amazing! Now, Rob was generous enough to send me a Review Copy but my major warning was that I would have to be totally honest about it. He went ahead & sent it to me anyway, ha! Oh man, I'm glad he did. First off, I was sort of shocked by the high quality of the book. The color cover is of a thick glossy stock and the 50 pages within are quality paper, as well. The inside is totally black & white but it doesn't take away from the piece at all. Like I said, the artwork is really great! Plus, oh my god, there's FIFTY PAGES! But the thing that ties it all together though is the story. The storyline is very clever & unique. Plus, it's just extremely fun to read. The basic premise ( No Spoilers Here ) is that Batman, Robin, Joker, plus a few other characters, are totally done in the style of the 1966 BATMAN TV Show. They all think & act completely like they did in the classic series, with their personalities intact & everything. But, because of an evil trap set-up by another villain, they are all transported to the future, the year 2012. Everything in this time is dark & gritty. It's an interesting concept & there are a TON of references to both the '66 TV Show, more modern day comics, & movies like Tim Burton's BATMAN and Christopher Nolan's version ( yeah, there's a little "Schumacher" in there as well ). In fact, many Batman Fans will recognize a lot of them & be totally delighted. The good thing is that it's not an overly done gimmick. Rob just sprinkles some interesting Bat-History here & there and most of the time it's pretty funny. Overall the book has a sort of "campy feeling" about it, perfectly reflecting the spirit of the '66 TV show. Plus, when they're in the future, that time seems different, so there is a very literal shift in both time & attitude. Sorry if I'm not explaining that very well but it's a really neat experience when reading the book. So, overall, I guess I highly recommend this fan-made book. You can get your copy by emailing Rob directly at robarchey@yahoo.com. The price is $6.99 per book with $3.00 shipping and handling. He has a PayPal account or you can send a money order. Please note if you want the book personalized and signed inside. I guess I should make clear that I'm not getting paid in any way for this book review. It's just that it's a very well made product that I know a lot of Batman Fans will really really enjoy, thanks.

BATMAN GOLF CART Inspired by "The Dark Knight" Tumbler Batmobile

OK, There's a few people who hated the new Tumbler Batmobile from the recent Batman movies & there's a ton of people who totally loved it ( I loved it ). But regardless of your opinion, you just gotta admit that this is an extremely clever Custom Golf Cart! Yes, this thing was totally inspired by "The Dark Knight" films. It's crazy! Unfortunately it's not an official product. It was customized by a Warner Bros employee & is currently used to get around the lot. Now, my question is, how many of you would totally buy one of these?

New "Passing on the Smile" Fan-Film Teaser Trailer - Harley Quinn's Origin

I received an email this morning from a guy who is working on a new fan-made film called "Passing on the Smile". Basically, the movie is all about the creation of Harley Quinn. She is an employee of Arkham Asylum in Gotham City & we all know that she turns into a villain ( and Joker's girlfriend ) ...but, how does it happen? I think this film is going to try & explain that. This is the teaser trailer & you also get a small glimpse of the Joker.

Video - BATMAN - CITY OF SCARS Fan-Film Movie

The Bat-Blog reported awhile back that the BAT IN THE SUN Film Crew was working on a brand new fan-made movie titled BATMAN: CITY OF SCARS. Well, they finally released the thing & WOW, it was well worth the wait! For being a very low budget film it really has some great production quality. These are the guys who, a few years ago, created the fan-favorite "Patient J". The costumes, props, sets, make-up, & over all design is really great. The acting isn't too bad either, I was very impressed. It features a wonderful cast of villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Zsasz, The Ventriloquist & Scarface. The film runs about 30 minutes so you might wanna grab a snack, kick back, & be entertained.

The Basic Story:



When the Joker escapes from Arkham and murders the parents of a young boy, Batman recalls the pain of losing his own parents as a child. He is pushed past his limits to the point where his focus becomes revenge on all who stand in his way, including many of Gotham’s underworld. Finally, Batman is forced to look at the psychological profile of his own mind and accept the consequences of his life to find resolve.
