ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Platypuschow When you go into these fan made shorts it's hard to have any hope that they will deliver. How do you make something like Batman with a non-existent budget?Standing at around the eight minute mark this short see's Batman hunting down the Joker on the streets of Gotham. Newly broken out of Arkham Asylum he isn't the only thing that hides in the darkness.As hard as it is to believe but this is Batman vs Joker vs Aliens vs Predator and it looks fantastic! The sfx are considerably better than you'd expect and the whole thing is constructed so well I'm genuinely upset there isn't a feature length movie.I'd consider this a must watch for Batman fans and would love to see more by these guys.The Good:Looks amazingGreat conceptThe Bad:Batmans costume looks naffThings I Learnt From This Short:If fans can make this masterpiece then what's the excuse for Batman vs Superman?

adonis98-743-186503 Batman: Dead End is an 8 minutes short film where Batman tracks down Joker threw a dark alley but what he didn't except is that later on he would fight both an Alien and a Predator. The film is based on an old comic book where Batman went against the Predator his look is based on Alex Ross Batman adaptation which i always thought that he looked like George Clooney for some reason. I loved those easter eggs to previous films such as Mask of the Phantasm they actually used the theme of the film they also used the theme song of the original Predator which is great now there are also some little problems the look of the mask for me is off sure they changed this eyes to look more closer to the comics which was good but seeing the nose pop out sometimes out of the mask was not that great i just didn't like the way the mask looked also the fight scene although great on it's own way i hated every time that Batman screamed it was really not that good. I also remember Kevin Smith saying that this is the best Batman movie ever well not really it's on my list i mean it's way better than some big blockbusters such as Ghostbusters (2016) or even Batman Forever and Batman & Robin for sure and even some animated movies such as Bad Blood and Justice League v.s Teen Titans but i still think that Ben Affleck is the best Batman of all time and to those that keep hating him cause he killed people i'm pretty sure Batman murdered the Predator at the end and he was ready to murder even more and i know what you're going to say "But is an Alien" yeah sure he is but it's still a life Batman always killed in comics. movies, games or anything else that you can think of also before i wrap this review i want to say that those Batarangs or whatever he was holding on they were pretty cool you can find the full film on Youtube and there's also a behind the scenes look which is pretty awesome with the whole cinematography, style, stunts, effects they did a pretty good job with this movie i would also recommend you to see Predator: Dark Ages another great Fan Film i give Batman: Dead End (2003) a 10 out of 10 and an A+

greglosborne This a superb vignette of a Thirties/Alex Ross version of Batman. The post Tim Burton movies don't even compare, as some commentaries have stated. Some of the scenes look straight out of Alex Ross Dark Knight novel. Andrew Koenig was a great Joker, the prosthetics were done just right, again, true to the comic book style. Clark Bartram was a good choice for the lead, although I think he was a little hammy when he hit the "pathetic" line. I think the ending is just right given the length and style of the movie, though it is similar to the Danny Glover Predator movie. My only gripe: Who did the music? The soundtrack is a major character in this piece, as good as anything in ALL the Batman films. The closest thing to this was a Sound Design credit (like everything else in the movie, very well done) Otherwise, I didn't see anything. am I missing something?

MartinHafer This is apparently a short piece of fan fiction--not a piece authorized or made by DC Comics. Despite this and a budget of $30,000 (a huge amount for a fan film--a tiny drop in the hat for a professional-looking film), it is very professional in style and is quite watchable to those who are not fans of the caped crusader (I sure am not a big fan, but I liked it).The film begins with Batman having a showdown with The Joker--who is very, very well portrayed by Andrew Koenig. He is nothing like the Jack Nicholson version--more like a demonic comic book version. However, one this crook is dispatched, some MAJOR surprises are in store for Batman--ones that I don't want to divulge as it would spoil the suspense.The bottom line is this is a terrific film--well worth a peek and only taking about six minutes out of your otherwise hectic lives.
