Have there been many notable Batman fan films (if any) made since Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT? I don’t know, I mean, that’s a hard act to follow and I think you’d have to have some balls to even attempt it.
Cue filmmaker Aaron Schoenke and his big ol’ balls, as he brings us CITY OF SCARS, a Batman fan film that pits the Caped Crusader against his archnemesis The Joker in a grim-n-gritty 30 minute tale. Schoenke shot the short in 21 days on HD cameras on a budget of $27,000. The results? Well, see for yourself…
When the Joker escapes from Arkham and murders the parents of a young boy, Batman recalls the pain of losing his own parents as a child. He is pushed past his limits to the point where his focus becomes revenge on all who stand in his way, including many of Gotham’s underworld. Finally, Batman is forced to look at the psychological profile of his own mind and accept the consequences of his life to find resolve.
