Synopsis:
Two years of nights have turned Bruce Wayne into a nocturnal animal. But as he continues to find his way as Gotham's dark knight Bruce is forced into a game of cat and mouse with his biggest threat so far, a manic killer known as "The Riddler" who is filled with rage and determined to expose the corrupt system whilst picking off all of Gotham's key political figures. Working with both established and new allies, Bruce must track down the killer and see him brought to justice, while investigating his father's true legacy and questioning the effect that he has had on Gotham so far as "The Batman."
Intentions:
The Intentions of this Edit are both simple and consuming. this movie is special to me for a number of reasons, being the first real, true in my opinion representation of a Human Bruce, not one thats got everything under control, the all confident playboy, he's damaged, he's hurting and he's RAW. the design of this movie is Neo-Noir, and the color, the setting, everything is a perfect representation of the genre. but this era of Bruce in the Elseworlds, really harkens back to the Detective Comics 39 Era BW/BM, and with that came the idea to give this the true, black and white noir era of Detective films. this was my first big project going through 5 revisions, and it taught me a lot about the basics of editing. this is my love letter to the past, to the old style of filming, to The Batman himself.
