Trivia

The Orleans and Wacker Drive Bridge where Heather (Allyssa O'Donnell) and Mikey ('David Sanchez') encounter the Gotham Times News Vendor (George Hroziencik) is the same location used in the end of Batman Begins where Batman jumps the Tumbler across the river in his efforts to save Jim Gordon and Rachel Dawes from the fear toxin being spread by Ra's Al Ghul and the Scarecrow. The bridge is the passageway from Midtown Gotham into the Narrows. It was director 'Jerry Vasilatos''s intention that the news vendor really WAS in the middle of the action at the end of Batman Begins, and could very well have seen the same fleeting image of Batman hanging on for dear life to the monorail that Police Commissioner Loeb also witnessed.

Amazing Take on THE DARK KNIGHT

This is a "Fan Film" but i put it on the list of all the Batman Films and its an amazing 13 plus minutes of story, action, great cinematography of the City of Chicago. The Story takes place between "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" and it premiered online only days before "The Dark Knight hit theater's world wide and it was very amazingly made. The Batman was incredible, the action, the characters, and that creepy joker laugh... This film really looks a lot like Christopher Nolan's view and it looks like it was a deleted scene from the movie... this was incredible and its hard to believe that its a Fan Film... It is made by fans for fans, But I loved it and recommend it to any super-hero fan.
