Quotes:

[first lines]
Jim Gordon: Barbara, I'm home. I knew you'd be hungry; I picked up some food. Do you have any plans for later this evening?
[Gordon enters Barbara's room and finds her glasses laying on the floor, her phone knocked off the hook and a ransom note on her desk]

Really great

This film was gritty, and real, what Batman should be. It feels very much like Batman Begins, only made 2 years before. Look for Tanoai Reed, the Rock's stunt double, who also won stunt man of the year last year, playing Batman himself, plus a very cool ORIGINAL music score.

The film has something missing from fanfilms, a story and an enjoyable one at that. Granted its only 9 mins, but the story is simple enough to keep the movie moving. The action was great, thanks to the Rock's buddy. I also liked the serious tone this film has, unlike Grayson and Dead End, which are camp to no end.

Also you might have trouble finding this film, but I would try comic conventions for a bootlegged copy.
