GoFlash Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thought this might fit best in here - a place for people to share their thoughts about their favorite fan films. For example. Mike is a big fan of "The Death Of Batman" Seriously, though, one group I'd recommend is Blinky Productions. Husband and wife, done some good films. Niki Notarile plays Catwoman (SKyle's ears suddenly perk up) in 3 films, Principles, The Diamond Exchange, and World's Finest (Catwoman & Power Girl). They also have 2 Power Girl films, some Blue Beetle, a 3 part Question film, and a short about a cop giving the Flash a speeding ticket. Some action, especially in the Catwoman films, some humor, really good costumes, very enjoyable. They have a channel on YouTube, so you can watch them online - they do have some DVDs available for sale as well. I have a bunch more in my collection, but what else have people enjoyed (or thought was absolute garbage)? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 There's a Batman versus Predator short on YouTube that NAILS Joker. And the "Grayson" trailer is epic, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 The guy who did the batman/Predator short went on to do a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIWskgVx_v0. It's not perfect, but it has some great moments and proves that you can, in fact, have Batman in spandex and have it look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not really a fan film, but this is a great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Not really a fan film, but this is a great pretty cool but part of it looks like the Daredevil/Elektra Fight in 2003's daredevil. I also noticed the Jennifer Gardner Rain Sequence from Daredevil in it but it was all in Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of the grayson film and that would look supercool if they made it into a REAL movie but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Pieces of the Puzzle was a "making of". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Pieces of the Puzzle was a "making of". Yeah it is a commentary about how they made it with outtakes and such. I can't believe it cost almost $18,000 to make and he paid for it all himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I wish I had eighteen grand to drop on a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I wish I had eighteen grand to drop on a movie. It's more like 18 grand for a resume for real work as a filmmaker. Still a shit pile of money either way. He went all out and got real actors so I'm guessing that's where most of it went. I still can't believe that he got Kimberly Page to play Catwoman.

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Is it just me or is the batman statue that grayson is standing next to a sculpt of adam west's face? holy shit 18 grand for just that hell he could of actually made a whole film for a little more (kevin smith and his 27,000.00 Clerks budget) LOL I love the Grayson film and the only problem I have is I can't get it to transfer to my iPhone damnit!!!! I think a lot of the villians were the original Batman 1966 TV show actors or at least they looked like them. I dunno though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he knew WB wouldn't let him make a full movie so that's why it's just a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Also, twenty seven grand goes a lot farther with Dante and Randall standing around the store, as opposed to Nightwing throwing Batarangs and Superman chucking cars.

GoFlash Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I love the Grayson film and the only problem I have is I can't get it to transfer to my iPhone damnit!!!! I think a lot of the villians were the original Batman 1966 TV show actors or at least they looked like them. I dunno though Does the iPhone play the same movies that will play on an iPod 5th generation? I was having so much trouble burning fanfilms to DVD and getting them to look decent (I don't like sitting in front of a computer watching video for some reason) that I gave up and converted my entire collection to iPod movies. If your iPhone will play it, I can probably help you out - send me a message. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFlash Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Another 2 groups that're worth checking out: Red Cape Productions So far, only 2 films, both with Wonder Woman. Battle for Justice is about 6 minutes and feels more like a promo reel - some crime corporation talking about WW stopping their plans, then fighting her inthe parking garage. Of course, If I've got a bunch of corporate types, and I'm going to try to fight Wonder Woman, I'll do just what they did - send one guy at a time to fight her while the others watch. Still, she looks darn good in the costume. Balance of Power has a bit more plot; also features Steve Trevor and a cameo by Superman. Supposedly, they're working on a WW/Supes crossover. Bat In The Sun Films: Father and son team - Aaron Schoenke directs, and has played Terry McGinnis and Nightwing. His father Sean composes music and played the villain in one film. They've moved on and are no longer making fan films, but left some great ones: Dark Justice: A Year One-ish film where Batman and James Gordon have to track down some kidnappers who took a teenage Barbara Gordon. Batman's played by a guy who's worked as a stunt double for The Rock, to give you an idea of how big he is. Batman Beyond: Year One - A different take on Terry's time in Juvenile Hall. About 45 minutes long - a bit weaker than their others. The Beyond suit didn't translate that well, and the guy playing Bruce Wayne obviously was nowhere near that old (plus, I have to say that Kevin Conroy's intensity in Beyond was impressive - I though he was even more intense there then he was in TAS). Madness/Legends - 2 different film clips, both draw on a lot of the same material. More like trailers than films, although there are some snatches of Superman as well. Joker's Christmas Spectacular - Little creepier than "Christmas with the Joker", especially when he throttles Harley... Patient J: If you can't watch them all, watch this and Dark Justice. It's a half hour of the Joker talking with a psychiatrist. If they tried to adapt the DCAU Joker to live action, this is probably what he's look like. There's a lot of what we saw in Mad Love - you never know which Joker you're going to get. Some of the story is in flashbacks as well - the Bob Kane-style Batman at Ace Chemical, going after Jason Todd with a crowbar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
