Man just looking at the trailer was enough for me, this movie was made with no budget and a old batman suit i guess.
All those actors if you read the bio are all in the same bad movies its like they follow each other onto other bad bad projects.

Five words: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?? Rise of the Black Bat is a cheap...and I mean CHEAP....attempt at cashing in on the wave of superhero films. Black Bat is Batman without pointy ears and has the exact same origin story as Daredevil. What? They couldn't continue fleshing out this "superhero"? Maybe he was part of a Weapon XYZ program and has ada..I mean titanium claws that come out of his hands? Maybe he can shoot webs like some sort of spider...guy? Please, do yourself a HUGE favor and avoid this garbage at all costs. For high quality entertainment with real superheroes, go watch Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix instead or watch Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises...which coincidentally (or not) came out in 2012, the same year that this apparent failed cash grab came out. The Rise of the Black Bat should be the DOWNFALL of D-list Hollywood hacks trying to cash in on quality entertainment but alas...we'll only see more of this garbage.
I see that the majority of the budget went to the voice over guy in the trailer. If that doesn't tell you anything, good luck watching this pile of dog poo.
There's nothing decent to be said of this film. Well, there are a couple of actresses who are easy on the eyes. However, other than a few pretty faces, this film is inauspicious. I am unable to come upon reason to suggest this film to anyone.
Although, if you are one who is able to realize a farcical value in such enervating films which suffer; unpropitious lighting and sound; unsightly or unimaginative set and costume design; languid scripts containing often nonsensical, diaphanous or practically nonexistent plots (porno plots); vacuous and often nonsensical directing which acts to only further disquiet and confound the often exanimate, diffident, unseasoned or untalented actors who have likely been left nonplus and prostrate in the wake of a tenuous or execrable script, then this movie may be just what you're looking for.
My wife enjoyed this movie. She said it was so bad that it was funny. I think her to suffer a slightly skewed perspective.

Because at least they had some level of acting. This piece of crap has to be one of the worst Pictures to be ever produced. Brett Kelly can't ever stop can he? What's more astounding than that they released it at all, is the fact that it got INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION and got DUBBED! I wouldn't even wonder if they did the French version themselves (It's a Canadian production after all). The "actors" are probably some neighbourhood friends of his, who all shared the same dream of becoming famous. Well, it would've succeeded if they went into the Porn-Business. And that's basically everything theres to say about this movie. It's so boring that my review doesn't even reach the required characters, so let's do a bit of filler, shall we? There are low-budget movies that turn out to be big successes (e.g. Friday the 13th), there are low-budget movies that are so bad they're good (e.g. All of John Waters' early films) and then there's Brett Kelly Entertainment, the most boring, cheapest, worst kind of movie there is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and watch "Lion and the King 2" (or was it 3?).
