batman dead end

[impostal22]

anyone else think this was pretty well done until ..well..it ended lol?

i loved the cinematography of this scene...

[snoogans]

its like really hard to tell wtf is goin on, it skips too much, all i can get is him landing on the ground, then suddenyl he's like becoming real after he was like flat...

I had heard it was pretty cool, but havent had a chance to see it.

Wasn't it a really low budget Batman fan-film?

[xmetal2001]

Yea I think I've heard about it. Supposed to be good for what it is. I'd like to see it. I could use some idea's for my lower budget films.:)

[impostal22]

here's the story behind it...

someone (sandy cholera) wanted to create a movie about batman vs. aliens vs. predator (neat idea, right?) well, the owner of the batman copyright wouldn't let him use batman. so, the guy created a short..basically the intro to the movie he wanted to make, to show the world what he can do as a director, and because he isn't making money off of it, it doesn't violate the copyright. so it's about 7 minutes long, has some kickass cinematography, and a very interesting concept. it's just enough to get you captivated....and then it ends. anyway, quite a few ppl have it on kazaa, just look for batman dead end as the title.

it's highly recommended, which is obvious lol.

I will have to check that out.

it's silly. least i think it is. i was never into the whole crossing universes thing. alien vs predator is cool. that just works. it's natural. like godzilla vs king kong. but throwing batman in with them? the guy who played batman thought he was hot stuff. what really cracks me up is he has a really nice mask and cape. looks like the first movie. but he wears a gray batman t-shirt. lol. the guy who played the predator did a really good job. he moves just like in the predator movies. the aliens... well it's kinda hard to get aliens on a low budget. it's similar to the first two alien movies. just guys in suits with a wire attached to the tail. the cinematography is pretty good. some interesting shots. but well... it's a fan film. i think this comic inspired by this film just about covers it.

(this is a continuing storyline if you're interested)

I'll go ahead and defend this film...

First, its based in the comic world. Batman's costume is COMIC ACCURATE. He doesn't wear stupid rubber suits in the comics. There have been Batman crossover comics with him fighting the Alien and the Preditor before too. Sandy put $30,000 of his own money to make this film, and that shows major dedication. This film was made for the fans. Plain and simple.

Yes I saw this a while back and it rocked!! There have been at least 3 batman vs predator crossovers and 2 batman vs aliens crossovers in the comics. I think it was put together very well for a short. Now if they'd make it... right after they do Batman: Year One..... mmm yesss....

I watched it the other night.

Very cool for being a low budget short. Really well shot, if not a little too dark at times. Deffinately worth watching.

Batman's cape was freakin' cool. The scene where he is kneeling in the water...excellent.
