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 (2005) 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.

It's amazing how professional some fan films are these days!
11 December 2008 | by (Bradenton, Florida) – See all my reviews

Up until very recently, fans could never hope to produce a film about their favorite action hero where the quality standards would even approach the original. However, thanks to exceptional software (such as editing and rendering tools), cheaper and more easily available equipment and lots of spending money, I've seen a few films lately that have blown me away--surprising me with their quality and watchability. These are NOT films made by well-meaning geeks that only appeal to other obsessive fans of the series (like a few of the Star Wars fan films, for instance).

Two of the best of these films are Batman films. BATMAN: DEAD END is a great film that asks the important question "who would win if Batman took on Predator?" (I know you are all dying to know) and THE DARK KNIGHT PROJECT is a film that speculates about what might happen if film students went in search of Batman for a documentary film for their class. Both really excel with the special effects and the acting is pretty good. Sure, they are NOT indistinguishable from the original source material--but the gap is significantly tightened.

THE DARK KNIGHT PROJECT is a clever little film and I can't wait to see more from the talented team who made it.
