Artist: Sandy ColloraTitle: Batman: Dead EndSounds Like: Batman vs. Joker vs. Alien vs. Predator
One of the coolest videos I have ever seen is Batman: Dead End. I heard Howard Stern talk about it back in 2003, and after a year I finally tracked it down. It starts out with Batman hunting down the Joker after his latest escape from the Arkham Asylum. However, it becomes so much more than that. Before long their battle is interrupted by popular sci-fi characters, Aliens and Predators. The film is only 8 minutes but has everything you’d expect to see in a Batman short, including great character portrayals. If you like this short you also would want to check out director Sandy Collora’s fan trailer for his Superman/ Batman movie titled non other than “World’s Finest.”
