    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.

    The Batman is back

    I'm very happy to be the first to give 10/10, this short deserves every one of those stars, it's how it's supposed to be a Batman movie to me, les digital fx and a good story with talented actors, i'm really impressed, with the simplicity and at the same time the good execution of well written plot, it feels like a piece of movie from Tim Burton, it's dark, nearly had the impression of a black and white film, the photography it's good and the acting is totally amazing, remember this is a fan short, i definitively want see more from the sgt. Frank Kelly being a good ally of the Batman in his pursue to clean Gotham of filthy criminals.
