It's obvious you have a really good idea with
this film, but the execution feels off just
about all across the board. The main problem are the script and actors.
The written diologue feels really wooden and
fake, and if feels even more so with the flat
delivery from the actors themselves. Also, there's Batman. Maybe it's just me, or
it really feels like you've padded up your
Batman to practically rediculious levels, and
not even with a muscle suit, it looks like
you tied up some pillows around your Batman's
arms. That kinda distracted me from the
film. Also there was how you focused only on Batman
and not on the two crooks. Sure, we could
hear him, but...do we seriously need to see
him looking around for the whole short? I
think it would be better if you focused more
on the wannabe crooks talking, with cuts of
Batman jumping around, following them. Finally, the end is...really cheesy. I mean,
with the other crook saying "Yeah you're
right, screw this" or whatever, it just
screams "After-School Special." Perhaps you
could have the two starting to break in, and
when they start talking about Batman, they
see enough shadowy places to get scared and
run away? That way it would feel a whole lot
more real, I think at least. Don't think I'm completely crushing your
work, you obviously get the character and you
have a good idea, but with a lot more
revising and some polishing, this could have
been a whole lot better. Keep working at it, good sir.
