Le Batman Short Film

[palitoy]

This short film from France is well made, if not a very, very, dark take on the character.

Warning: This video is a little effed up, it's not for kids.

How long is the video? The site only says something about the First 8 minutes. Is it 10mins? 30mins? Longer?

The French are giving the Turkish a run for their money!

That's one hell of a fighting style they have there, throw your arms around wildly and kick indiscriminately. I wasted my youth in dojos for nothing...

That made me feel unclean, inside and out.

I really truly love seeing North American Pop Culture Characters viewed through the funhouse mirror of other cultures.

That is why Japanese Spider-man is so much fun, with it's Sentai/Kaiju trappings. It's something we seem to be seeing less of with the global marketplace for both TV/Films and Toys.

It is astonishing to see Batman in a format even Darker than The Dark Knight. It makes me wonder what would happen if you gave a bunch of different directors from around the world the opportunity to do their version of Batman ala the recent animated Gotham Knight anthology.

What would Takashi Miike's Batman be like? I'd imagine every bit as extreme as Ichi the Killer. How about Luc Besson or John Woo or Pedro Almodover?

Almodover would have Joker as a Gay sadistic Killer and Batman his confused lover......I kid you not.
