SEEKERS OF THE BAT

This wonderful fan trailer depicts an alternate future where Dick Grayson, the original Robin, has to come out of retirement to avenge the death of the Batman.  They appear to ignore Dick’s time as Nightwing, as well as [his wife!] Barbara’s crippling at the hands of the Joker (although one shot alludes to it). Superman appears to play a minor role as a boy scout blindly following orders, as well as several great appearances by Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman?, Batgirl, Catwoman, the Riddler, Penguin and of course the Joker. If there was one fan trailer I’d want to see made into a full film, this would definitely be it.

This commercial sells what? Not sure, but I’m sold.

An honest and humorous look at Batman’s inherent weaknesses and epic sense of failure. The chinup scene really shows the depths of neurosis and abuse to which Batman can sink. Still, at least he’s not Aquaman :)

Here we have Batman and Wonder Woman posing for a photo at the San Diego Comic Convention. Although they are 2 of DC’s “Big 3″ (minus Superman), they don’t have much history together… That is, until the 2001 Justice League animated series hinted that an attraction between the two might be present. But even in the cartoons, Batman is ever the consummate masochist, denying himself any happiness in life, and nothing became of it.
