The sound (music excluded) simply ruined the
story of this otherwise decent fan film.
Having the characters speak so often and yet
simultaneously having it be nearly impossible
to hear what they're saying half (or even
most) of the time really hurt this film. The
music was pretty well edited in but it didn't
help that occasionally the music made it even
harder to hear what the characters were
saying. Also have to mention that last shot of Batman
raising his arms and cape - sorry, I'm sure
it was a thrill to perform but it just didn't
work. It actually would've worked better with
just the initall shot of him not moving -
kinda like in Begins or Batman. There were smaller issues with acting, and
the believability of the fight scenes but
mainly, everything just seemed to work
better in this release than any of Palangi's
other Bat-films. The opening fight/chase with
Batman IN THE DARK was a welcome surprise.
The lighting actually worked fairly well in
the scene's more important moments. The
pacing was a little fast for the entire film,
but for me, that kinda made it more
enjoyable. I'm not sure I could explain why,
but while I was watching it I really felt
like the movie did justice to Danny Elfamn's
score- which, to me, is quite an
accomplishment. So, in the end, I actually rather enjoyed
this fan film, despite the sound issues.
Anyway, props to Palangi and crew for making
another fan film and I hope the negative
reviews don't get you down.
