Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This movie was easily the best fan film I have ever seen done and no one should pay any attention to the review done by "jamests" from Canada, as none of his comments pertain to the film itself but are merely complaints about the director going in new directions that were intended, well thought out, and made the movie and characters come to life as they seemed to be within the realm of the possible and made sense. I was riveted from beginning to end and even if there were some minor production glitches like variations in the sound volume, the movie on the whole could stand up to most of what we see on our big screens and televisions even today. Hollywood or some studio in it should hire this man and do it soon because he has created a piece of art work here that some studio should be buying and putting on television itself if permission can be obtained with respect to any copyrights issues etc. Once you see it I am sure you will agree that this one is a nobrainer, because for what it is, it really is that good. Watch for yourself and see.In any event, well done Mr. Gearhart and cast! Well done!

For a super low budget I was expecting another movie I watched for about 20 minutes and then stopped watching because it was so bad. This movie on the other hand was better than some (to be unnamed) large budget, big studio productions. This movie had very good acting, very good filming, and a story that should have been picked up by Warner Brothers to make into a large budget movie. This movie is a must watch for Batman fans and even people who like to watch comic book movies. Harley Quinn is in this movie too. It brings some perspective on how she came into the Joker's life and changed him in such a way that he has become the villain that we love today. Watch, watch watch this movie and then hope that they make more with Warner Brothers' help.

When i stumbled on this i wasn't expecting much, but as far as fan films go this is one of the best around if not the best (imo at least). Some great lines and solid acting(for the most part anyway)combined with a very Tarantino-esque soundtrack and over all gritty feel make this a must watch for joker fans. There are loads of brilliant references to the dark knight which put a smile on my face(see what i did there haha...okay i'll get my coat) It was really well shot and filmed my only problem was palm trees showing up in the background in some early scenes which kind of broke the atmosphere slightly but other than that it was great. For $3000 it's unbelievable what this production has achieved do yourself a favor and give it a watch. i eagerly await the sequels.

I'm not entirely sure exactly how so many people have been gushing over this on YouTube, but this entirely missed the mark in my opinion. Firstly, calling the city "Gotham", then filming entirely in palm tree infested California is distracting to say the least. Then there's the writing, the most familiar lines were pulled directly out of The Dark Knight. The Riddle... sorry, "Riddles", is a pimp that just happens to spout off some terrible "riddle" when he tries to attack the Jok... Dang, I mean "Cyrus", that goes something like, "What's covered in scales and full of metal? A stuck fish". Oh yeah, and "Harley" is an iPhone 4 carrying hooker that dies before he even becomes the Joker.I watched this because of all the glowing reviews on YouTube, but now I'm starting to think that none of them have ever actually been formally introduced to the genius that is the Batman universe.The best thing I can say is that for $3,000 and 8 days of filming, I guess this is better than some other independent fare as far as the actual cinematography goes...I mean no disrespect to the filmmakers, I simply must say that as a life long fan of anything Batman, this was very disappointing.It is obvious to me that the people in charge of promoting this movie have sent people to down rate my review. I assure anyone taking this into consideration that watching will be a waste of time and that my review is wholly accurate. Keep sending people to down rate my review, it doesn't make your film any better.
