Watch Batman: Dead End For Free

Fantastic!

A lot of fun.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Batman: Dead End follows Batman after The Joker escapes from Arkham yet again. He searches for him and they eventually do battle in an alley way. While fighting though a certain Alien and its Predator join in. Will Batman survive? If your still reading this, than here's what else you need to know. 1. This is a short film: It was made by fans for fans and then released at San Diego Comic-Con and shortly after on the internet. 2. This was made to show of the director's directing skills: This means he put his all into this and the reward is some beautiful cinematography throughout the picture. 3: This is from 2003: When it was released, Batman: Dead End was critically acclaimed by Kevin Smith and Alex Ross (people of the comic book field) who both thought it was there favorite Batman film yet and the most true to the comics. Whether they still think that I don't know. My opinion: While it is not my favorite of the Batman films its still far better than Batman & Robin and for many people Batman Forever. My only complaints with this picture is that there's one beautiful camera angle of Joker's face but I feel that it wasn't used at the right time. It should have been used for buildup not mid-dialogue. Also the ending is mid-battle and it may disappoint you as it did me. overall though you can watch this for free on YouTube so why not? You'll probably enjoy it.

It's amazing how many people want to review this as if it were the latest $200-million feature film. They need to get a grip. Clearly, this is just a short demo intended to show off its creators' capabilities. There's no real script, or attempt at a "story." It's a set of familiar characters, walking through a very traditional action situation. So it's silly to review the plot, or criticize the lack of inner meaning.On the other hand, AS a demo, this truly is devastating work. The vision of Batman, clearly based on Frank Miller's version, is vastly superior to the armored, super-powered goon we've seen in the recent feature films. And no, the ORIGINAL Batman would NEVER wear body armor. He was a "Detective," who relied on stealth, cunning and a frightening image... not on technology and brute force. True, in this short we see him holding his own in a fist-fight... but based purely on sheer determination and a believable grasp of martial-arts skills. (He's clearly out of his depth; were this to be expanded to film length, I'd hope he would face more human-sized villains.)What really stands out, though, is simply the image. The costume is perfect: the gray shirt with the simple black logo is exactly the way I've imagined it over many years of reading the comic. What made Batman stand out among super-heroes was exactly the fact that he was a MAN, and no more. Frank Miller grasped this in his brilliant graphic novels, and so does this short. If only Hollywood were paying attention...

I saw this online recently and it was not quite what I had expected. First off, the production quality is, if nothing else, rather, surprisingly top-notch. It obviously would have to go through a lot of arbitration and legal wrangling to legitimately be shown anywhere (think of what Warner brothers and Fox would do in order to get this out there, which might not be much since they already protect their own franchises). But there was a good deal of money put into it, and it looks terrific in terms of the creature design, location, technical aspects on all various fronts. It certainly isn't some kids with Party City costumes floating around with a camcorder on a street. That being said, lets call a spade a spade: it's a fan-boy movie. It starts off with a heated one-on-one with Batman and Joker (not bad actor playing the dark knight, though the one playing Joker, dare I say it, goes a little over the top too much). Then an alien from the FOX comes along and kills joker, and then Predator from FOX also comes along to fight Batman, and this is what ends up mostly being the short. It's action packed and with, well, lots and lots of predators as the film goes on. In the sense of being a guilty pleasure, of watching it and enjoying it even as the better sensibility says that it's pretty stupid, it's really not that bad. But it's definitely not what some people have put on such a high pedestal, which is that it's better than ANY other Batman-related feature ever created. Nice try, but there needs to be a STORY, not just a bunch of crazy franchise-cross-pollinating.
