LEGO Batman Noir

Batman Noir is a genre-based Lego animation in the style of 1940/50s detective noir. Gotham City's very own vigilante, 'The Batman' must solve a cold-brutal murder and deliver vengeance to those who were responsible.
This is the first out of many short brickfilms Darkmoonstudios will produce for the channel.

Thank you all for the great reception #legobatmannoir has had. We worked really hard on this small stop motion and we are so humbled by everyone's kind praises. It'll mean a lot to us if you could share the video and if you're not a subscriber, there is no better time than now. Stay tuned for a special look at the making of this animation.

[@spreeanimation]

The fact that nobody speaks and that everything is shown visually is so perfect. The animation looked great, especially in the fighting scene. I like how the rain looks too, it makes it feel so immersive. Overall I think this was really well done!

[@TheSmileyOne]

It lacks shadows, but it's still great!!

[@Quagmire1014]

[@BruceWayne-qj6om]

I was getting animated series vibes throughout this whole brickfilm… this was a true MASTERPIECE!

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

Awesome! I can see influences from Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” and Batman: The Animated Series. The crime scene feels very reminiscent of the Mayor’s murder crime scene from the Former & the whole Alleyway & Rooftop fight almost looks like a shot for shot remake of the animated series iconic intro. Very well done.

Best Bat Man stop motion

[@HunterShark300]

This is the best LEGO short film that I've ever seen. I really love the slower pace and the gloomy feel that perfectly fit the noir genre. We need a series out of this, hope you guys make more of them!

[@ihavespoken9871]

This is definitely my favorite Batman brick film

[@DerOarsch]

I love how the bit starting at 3:11 is big reference to the intro of the animated series

[@hsinchen8103]

Gosh , the effort put in to this is mind-blowing!! Didn't expect such a movie-like feeling!! and the use of music is... "chef's kiss"

[@jarjarstevens]

Loved the atmosphere depicted in the noir style. Felt refreshing compared to all the high tech modern Batman we’ve been getting for a long time

[@hipstercaden7739]

I love the rain effects

[@SWManimation]

What the hell this is good. I was clued to my screen for the entire story. Big ups to you guys for being able to tell a compelling story with lego's without any voiceacting in it. Keep it up.

[@hugoalvarez8307]

This video is art. It takes inspiration from many diferent sources like the Animated Series, The Batman film and Batman's first comics. It's amazing how much love and undestanding for the character can be shown in 6 minutes. Great job!👏👏

[@vtoriouscat4313]

This was like a short film movie good job 👌

[@blackstarbricks]

0% color 0% dialogue 100% Amazing story-telling and top notch animation

[@batmangothic89]

Awesome work man the design and look of the Gotham noir is cool the first appearance Batman looks is one of my favorite designs 🔥🔥🔥

[@ragingoaktree]

This was SOOO good. The music and the movement of the character agave me big animated series vibes. Great job!

[@GrassoGuy]

Dayum this is a whole vibe and I especially love the dedication to keying Batman's glowing white eyes as a detail

[@Brickhausen]

Your version of the LEGO Batman theme has a very dense atmosphere, which I really like. It is really a good idea to realize it in black and white, which is a unique point compared to all other Batman brickfilms here on KZbin. I am looking forward to your next releases.

[@pbeochan4583]

This was phenomenal! That 'Bat-Glare,' lol. So well made. Loved the no-dialogue approach, you conveyed the whole story without a single word and it plays very well into that era. Very impressed.

[@CaptainFordoCanonizingCommitee]

I just love the usage of first appearance Batman. I've always been a fan of the design.

[@MeadowBear99]

Storytelling without saying a single word. This was really cool.

[@HeyItsLukeLane]

This is still so good. Visual Storytelling at its prime.

[@pudgeballproductions]

4:11 is my favourite shot!! Great job with this one!!

[@batbricks8055]

This....we need full featured film of series...10/10 stop motion. Without the doubt this is one of THE BEST Lego batman short movies here. Well done to everyone who worked on this. I am definitely rewatching this many more times.

[@bagsac_]

The visual style in this vid amazing! I saw a lot of almost direct scenes from the animated series and loved it! It’s literally like if todays good story telling and production was put in an old noir 1940s film. Gotta love it man, you killed it with this

[@pekhos_]

This is is the best damn stop motion video I've ever seen, keep it up love your work

[@derpy_liongames2130]

It was great thanks for making that Batman's punches could look more like punches or even a title card showing him best the two goons would've been neat too but it doesn't matter I love this creative take on Batman I even love the conversion of the batmobile well-done guys. Fantastic Job!

[@jackjackmckean3791]

Some of the best atmosphere I've seen in a brickfilm. The lighting and music really sets a great tone

[@buggobricks]

Congrats on winning the best cinematography award on the BCA’s, you definitely earned my vote, and everyone else’s.

[@zaidkadri786]

[@Bat_613]

I know your are tied up with your Star Wars project but if you made more batman stuff it would be as the ninth doctor would say fantastic.

[@electricwave8710]

really well done,the black and white is a good idea,it represents well the dark mood of the tale!

[@sad_cheese67]

[@sloppysilass3182]

I’ve somehow waited my entire life for this

[@darkclaw3296]

This is what I want Caped Crusader to be! Very well done man, you nailed the 1940's noir feel.

[@mmotionanimations1005]

I think you should convert this In a miniseries with the same style

[@justbriggsy764]

This is a brick film masterpiece

[@playhoodstudios1870]

Absolutely amazing film! This needs a whole series! Such amazing work that I had to subscribe.

[@spidy2074]

This reminds me so much of the animated short Strange Times made for Batman's aniversay, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a direct inspiration cause this has very similar vibes and rocks just has hard. Amazing work!

[@idiosyncraticstudios9499]

Very good Job! I'm actually working on an animation like this, and this is just, *chef's kiss*
