The Dark Knight Sweded
What happens when you want to make a fan film, but you have almost no budget? You ‘swede’ it, of course! Made famous in the film ‘Be Kind Rewind’, to swede a film is to reshoot a famous movie as quickly and cheaply as possible. The results? Raw awesomeness.
Even Batman is confused?
Although The Dark Knight is without a doubt, an excellent film, there are some chin scratchers in it. Suspension of disbelief be damned, it’s up to the Batman to point out the flaws in his own movie :)
I must become what I fear the most…
“Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot”.. Hmm, maybe not that cowardly, as we see in this excellent Dark Knight spoof.
Let’s put a smile on that face
2008′s blockbuster film ‘The Dark Knight’ was preceded by an incredibly complex and pervasive marketing campaign, including some haunting pieces like this one. Note the bat logo formed completely out of H’s and A’s (ha ha’s)
The Power of Fear
Strikingly different from other brightly colored heroes, Batman’s dark persona was specifically designed to strike fear in criminals. Many writers have used the idea that he was initially seen as a demonic urban legend.
“Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts. I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible…” – Bruce Wayne
