Storyline

Life isn't fair. The Joker escapes from Arkham Asylum. Bruce Wayne puts on his Batman suit, mask, and cape, and goes in pursuit. He's soon found the Joker and begins a fight to subdue the red-eyed, sneering villain. Then, suddenly, things take a surprising turn: the Joker becomes the least of Batman's worries. New enemies appear: it's as if he's found himself in another set of comic books. Can he hold his own?

Goofs

During the opening credits when Batman is getting dressed, the reporter says "At this time Dr. Harley Quinn Is still missing." Harley Quinn is her villain name, so the reporter should have said "At this time Dr. Harleen Quinzel Is still missing."

Definite 'A' For Effort

It's about time someone tried to do something with Batman, if Warner won't. It combines three movies I think fans would love to see, though because of this it suffers from lack of time. Very cool idea, it leaves a lot up to the imagination as to how it began or how it ends, or what happens to certain other villians. I thought the villians costumes looked amazing, I assume someone broke into the Fox props department for those. This was short, but darker than even Burton's first Batman movie, though this one relies a little heavy on his script, at least at first. The directing was great, too, there were several well composed shots, which says a lot about an 8 minute film. I loved the fact that Bats was in his classic black and grey costume, which was made of cloth and not rubber. If you have the disk space and the time to DL this, you won't be disappointed.
