Several good aspects stood out: I agree that your locations were well
selected. The catwalks, the garages, the
alleys - all helped the mood and put us right
there in the danger. I think Batman's cape was exceptionally good
and the most effective costume piece. The
shots that just included the mask and the
cape were the most effective, so it was wise
of you to choreograph his fights to primarily
feature those two costume pieces. I really like that it is silent. No need to
be bogged down in who these East Side Skulls
particularly are. They're a gang. They're
bad. The leader has a scar on his face.
Perfect. That's all we need. No slow
dialogue scenes either. Since it's a short
fan film, let's just see Batman knock some
heads! Very clever use of camera when the batarang
pierced Skull Leader's hand in the end. Tighten the editing and redo the soundtrack
with sound effects and original music, and
it's a fantastic high school fan film!
