Punches above its weight...

For a fan made effort, on the budget this is a very commendable and impressive production.

The basic premise is a cop under pressure to raise funds for cancer treatment, succumbs to temptation, with Batman watching proceedings.

It's a short film, only really 15 mins long, and apes one of the old animated series setups and storylines.

Personally, I was impressed. The crew clearly pushed to the limit what they could achieve, aided by some fine use of atmospheric music.

Pacing, acting and costumes was fine. Admittedly action on this budget was ropey, yet still far superior to certain of the big scale efforts.

I'd recommend it, and wish the crew good fortune in their future efforts.
