AHHHHHHH! MY GOD this is FANTASTIC. I've only been through part of the intro...the first scene and the main titles. This is so close to the real thing. You gotta spread the word about this.

I particularly love the way you mixed the music. It FITS like a GLOVE!.

thanks but remember this is batman forever, I firmly believe BF cannot be saved no matter what! Plus because of the resolution of the video on the site, there are some problems they just arose. For example when edward knocks out stickly it freezes on his frame. On the dvd it flashes to black for a moment, but I guess the flv couldn't do that.

yea bf still sucks big time. It's still carrey and val, not Keaton. But still you made it suck less and thus you should be proud. The Intro and MainTitles is epically authentic to what a Burton Forever might have been.

some people have been messaging me about getting a dvd, just pm me your address and ill send one out to you.

Ok all those who have asked for a dvd have had one sent out to them. However from now on ill have to ask for a 10 dollar, er...donation... just because of the:

4$ shipping
1$ the disc itself
2$ Burning the disc
3$ adding the art work to the disc

I have to do make each one individually, just letting you guys know. Hope you understand.

Are you charging anything for them?

I am now, unfortunatly, I make ZERO profit out of them, just to cover the cost of making the thing.

I would like to buy one, but the quality doesn't look that good. Are you sure it's better on DVD?

oh yes it is! trust me! just pm me and will work it out in the pms.

Having just seen the first part, I hate to say it, but I found this edit hard to watch.
The way some scenes start and end abruptly works against the flow of the movie.

The music and the audio is big problem. You chose some good music to replace Elliot Goldenthal's score (even though I really like his score as well). However, the music is too unbalanced with the audio and dialogue. I guess you had to up the music volume so you don't hear the original music, which is the main problem with the edit.

If you had an edit without any music to work with, you could probably edit more freely.

I also disagree with your choice of giving people credit for this film, who aren't even in it or didn't work on it. I know it was for the feel, but it just seems wrong to me.

The Batmobiles jumping back and forth between the 1989/ 1992 version and the 1995 version also doesn't work well. Either you leave the 1995 Batmobile in this, or you take the time to superimpose a 3-D rendering of the 1989/ 1992 Batmobile. I know, this involves a crazy amount of rendering work and precision, but that would be the only way to do this properly.

Removing the Warner Bros. Logo morphing to the Batman symbol was another thing I can't agree on. I remember thinking how cool that was back then, and I still think it is today.
You could have used the opening logo, extend it slightly with the audio of rain and thunder, have a lightning go off, showing the symbol flashing black and white and then cut to the exterior shot of Arkham Asylum.

I also liked the Helicopter/ acid safe scene and found it weird you removed it for the most part.

However, I really liked seeing the title appear with the "The Bat must die!" writing in the background, followed by that cool brain title sequence.

I'm not trying to destroy your efforts.
It must be very hard trying to turn this movie basically into another, changing the feel of the film, changing scenes and not even having the right source material to do it with.

With all this said, I still look forward to seeing the finished film.
Hopefully, you don't take this critique in a bad way.



What movie did the credits seq come from? The background brainwave stuff?



Hey Redskull, I made a cover for the DVD for everyone.
