Demon In The Dark: Batman vs. The Secret Six

[@kaitohaimaru3574]

I like how Batman portrayed here. So creepy and intense.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Batman is one of the few, if not only, heroes who started off with the simple goal of just scaring the crap out of the bad guys. I love that about him

[@mdh1048]

This is the element of Batman that is missing from the movies. The regular criminal is terrified about this “devil” figure known as The Batman or “ Bats”. His peak human condition gives him speeds that seem unrealistic, or supernatural. That with the dark persona and the cat and mouse game he plays to envelope his enemies in terror. Is what makes the Batman unique. He utilizes the criminals superstition and their ignorance of the extent of his abilities to ensnare them. Before they realize he is human - it’s too late. He’s already won. You guys captured that rare phenomenon. Well done

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks so much for this! We're so glad passionate Batman fans like yourself have enjoyed it!

Its a short film so they had it easy

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Ha! Yes, it's totally easy to shoot in NY in Feb in the middle of the night with a battery powered light and a crew of 3 while the cast stands by steam vents so their mouths don't go numb and they can say their lines. I'm so glad we didn't have a two millon-per-episode budget or all those pesky people to help us out while we laid in more VFX-per-shot than most movies!

I love every single hint of Batman - especially the shot at 11:08. Beautiful. Amazing job.

This was stunning. I don't know how you guys did this this was the best fan film I ever saw. The effects were amazing the green lantern part was an unexpectedly amazing. It's crazy how all it takes is dedication and actually caring about what comicbook fans want to see to blow these big budget blunders out of the water.. This is superior to the last few DC movies that were put out recently. And most importantly you nailed batman with the silhouette lurking in the shadows and the gadgets. Keep doing your thing dont be discouraged if you dont get the response you deserve right now cuz this should have 75 million view easily

Best Bat Fan Film Ever. You kept the Batman a mystery, even to the viewer. He's mysterious even to viewers who know everything about him already. You never get to close to him, so we see him the way the people in the film see him. Glimpses, frightening, awesome. I love your Amanda Waller also. The beginning of her obsession with Batman.

[@theloniousMac]

I say best "fan film" but honestly in darkness and style, it might be the best live action interpretation of The Batman ever. I agree with everyone else, all you guys need is money. You know the character and obviously love him. Beats the crap out of zillion dollar directors who've never picked up a comic book.

[@muhammadhadif6034]

Your portrayal of Batman is really good, he has this mysterious vibe surrounding him, a classic batman, meant to scare of the bad guys. Though I feel like your portrayal of the six could be better, I love the Secret Six, their comic series is one of my favorites ever, and the six here isn't bad or anything but it took me until Floyd put on his mask that I realized that he was Deadshot, at first I thought Blake was Deadshot because he doesn't really act like Catman. Bane was pretty cool though I wish we could've seen more of him, and I have to say that Scandal is good in here. Would have loved to see Ragdoll too but it is pretty cool what you guys have here. If you ever decide to make another film with the six, you should definitely give them their costumes, man I'd love to see Catman in a live action stuff, hell I'd love to see him in anything, (games, animated series, comics) You guys did a really good job here, I hope you know that!

An impressive piece of fanwork in the DC universe! While I may be a year or two behind on this work of art, I'd like to applaud the excellent acting and choreography of these characters.

I'm glad I took the time to watch this film. Granted, it was kind of rough at the start, but it is well worth sticking through. One thing is very clear, you folks were VERY ambitious in pulling this off and the experience is all the better for it. I think the atmosphere you created was really palpable. I think the only think really holding this back, are the performances, but with films of this nature, that's kind of what you need to expect, but that rough first patch I mentioned was me not really believing what the characters were saying because I didn't believe they believed it. Having said that, as the film progressed there were some really great deliveries and some lines that felt very genuine and had me chuckle. Cat-Man's "Wait, what?" was really great as well as his last line. Very nice. Also, I'd really like to mention the fact that you threw in all the nods that make a universe like this complete. It actually, to me, didn't feel like fan service or pandering. These things pop up in the comics all the time, and seeing as how this felt like you were actually watching an issue from a run of the comic, the easter eggs didn't feel like easter eggs. Immediately when the investigation scene commenced the film, I knew who those characters were, and credit those actors, because they actually felt like the characters they were representing. I'm one of those fans who sometimes prefer less Batman, so this was choice. (Loved that long shot of him dispensing the smoke pellet, very nice) Thanks for sharing this with the world. I'll make sure to spread it further.

I bow. It SHOULD take many methods, as the Comic Artists draw the cape different for every type of scene, so to get that variety of effect......or have I misunderstood ?

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Totally correct. We used a lot of visual references from Miller, Mazzucchelli, Lee, Sale, Aparo, Timm and Capullo (tons of other artists' renditions were all over our walls). Most scenes involved shooting the actor on set with a cape made from a very large heavy black fabric. We then shot added footage in front of a green screen. And then we combined the images and added touch ups in Adobe After Effects.

[@andrewfrancis74]

aaahhhh....!....well, you captured MY interest..!...great work ...was any of those artists the one who drew Batman looking like 6'7" , bulky, with the extra-dark suit and super-long ears ? (90's). He had that 25-foot cape

Epic work bro!!loved the suspense build up.

You made my day, buddy! Thank you!

[@773p]

this vid should have way more likes, great job editing

[@ForewarnedFilms]

YES! And thank you thank you for your support.

[@GlockMonster29]

Man this was pretty f'in good to me. That GL and Black Adam fight looked pretty good too but it wouldn't have happened though. You don't go in Batmans city without his permission 😂

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Excellent point! Thanks for watching!

[@blythejones9347]

I was just thinking that literally everyone most notably the green lantern corps who patrol literally everywhere in the universe have to ask to go in Gotham

[@КомилжонАвезов]

Nice piece of fanmade film. I imagined what these guys do with million dollar budget! It would be amazing!

[@ForewarnedFilms]

We would still probably just eat pizza on set but we'd definitely have better heating! (We shot at 2a in NY in the winter and our main heat source was a questionable exhaust vent.)

[@kabukiarmadillo]

Nicely done. A good story spiced with a mix of drama and humour. Good job on the special effects...

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thank ye, sir! We appreciate the support!

[@smacks999]

That was a heck of a lot of fun! Bravo and kudos! Loved the lighting...so...natural! Beautifully shot.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks a ton- we chose NY specifically for the light it provides at night. Also, the pizza.

I my self am the type of batman fan that if i don't see enough of him I'm not happy with the product, but with that being said omg this was frigin awesome I like the fact u didn't throw batman in our faces kept him mysterious the way he really should be. the light comedic banter was perfect (don't wanna do to much of that)and the acting was totally better than most who always try to over act really guy's I think wow just isn't enough and I suck at spelling so I can't even write something insightful but just so u know u definitely won one more subscriber.... O when's part 2 coming...o one more thing deadshot was kinda better than the other guy's.u know who I'm talking about lol.... Keep up the great work guy's

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks for the support, David! We really appreciate you taking the time to check it out and throw us some support!

[@UltimateShadow10]

Was that Grand Central Station? I lost count of how many movies that place is in, and how many super heroes destroyed it over the years.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

WRONG! Grand Central is in NY and this is Gotham City. DERP. Actually, good eye. I loved seeing it whenever it appeared in comics so really wanted to shoot there.

[@masterblaster528]

This was really good. Natural dialog and nice special effects. Batman looked good, which is something you don't always see.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks so much for checking it out!!!

Man ,that is the coolest fanmovie I've ever seen in the whole superhero universe. Fantastic vfx by the way.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks a ton, Joel. They took forever to learn but were fun to do!

[@DAM9427]

Wow that was great! Thank for making that. You just scored one more fan!!!

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Glad to have you onboard!

[@theloniousMac]

I liked this. A lot. One problem with portrayals of the Batman is too much Batman. This only has glimpses of the Batman. You understand how people can believe they are seeing a giant bat.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

I totally agree. Batman wears his costume to scare bad guys long enough to give him an edge. And having him out and about in broad daylight would ruin that.

[@pranavmathur2733]

This line in the end, "Batman... inspiring us all" gave me chills!!

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks so much, Pranav!!! Glad you liked it!

This should be a KZbin series

Glad you liked it!!!

[@swaroov9236]

@@ForewarnedFilms but you can't produce it as a series' I guess, because of all those hardwork

[@swaroov9236]

@@ForewarnedFilms it is beyond awesome way better storytelling and representation than mainstream movie

[@ForewarnedFilms]

It's a budget issue, mainly. Without approval from WB we can't make any money on things like these. I don't need to profit but I'd like to be able to pay people for their time & talent.

[@steveskavinsky2893]

just watched this short film. Really enjoyed it. good action scenes, simple well thought script, almost seemless special effects. Keep up the good work.

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks Steve!

[@Gweb52]

THAT WAS AWESOME ! ALL OF THE CAST AND CREW DID AN AMAZING JOB !!!!!

[@ForewarnedFilms]

The cast and crew have responded by saying that you, in fact, are amazing for watching!!! Also, your icon is badass.

[@Tahee5105]

Very impressive movie clip, I've seen others but they fall short to this one.....Nicely done

[@ForewarnedFilms]

Thanks so much, Placido!!!

[@robavery8310]

This is better than anything I have seen on the CW and I am betting you had a fraction of their budget. Congrats on some fantastic work!

Thanks a ton Rob!!!

Hi Mihai! The vfx were all self taught from KZbin tutorials and using Adobe After Effects
