Trivia:

Was made as an entry for a comic book convention in which a period is given to comic book fans who make their own home-made videos. After much fanfare and praise by on-line fans DC Comics established that there were to be no more fan made movies to be shown at comic book conventions. Any persons found displaying home-made comic book movies depicting any of their characters will be contacted by their legal affairs department. Despite this fact, Grayson remains a fan favorite movie and continues to be downloaded in record numbers.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Commissioner Gordon: It's hard to believe he's gone. For all his triumphs, I fear that even in death he will find no peace, nor will those who fought beside him. Still, we must move forward, and while others will come to accept that his crusade has come to an end, for Dick Grayson, it begins again.

Excellent stuff!

No, not a belated biopic of the late entertainer Larry 'Shut that door' Grayson, but a highly impressive, fan made mock trailer featuring Dick Grayson aka Robin, long serving side kick of the legendary Batman.

Super hero fans will quite rightly drool over this six minute short which features an array of favourite characters including Superman, Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, the Joker, Bat Girl, The Riddler and even briefly The Penguin and The Green Lantern.

Despite its short running time, this extremely stylish effort still manages to beat the hell out of any full length super hero themed flicks to appear on cinema screens as of late and is absolutely essential viewing for lovers of comic book adaptations.
