      The best stories from the Batman universe are ALWAYS the everyday people living in Gotham.
      There was a great Joker story about some guy who was working for him and seeing everything from his perspective. I wish I could remember the name of it. It showed how people just have to do a job and that job might be with a terrible person like the Joker.

      Exactly. Bruce Wayne is essential to solve the problems Batman can't.
      Batman fights the practical implications and prevents the direct consequences of evildoing (apprehending criminals and conserving evidence of crimes, and directly protecting human lives by preventing further crimes from being committed by desperate people choked from the chance to choose a better life), while Wayne fights the roots of the problems (through philanthropy, social housing, helping expose corrupt economic groups, taking over companies manages by seedy bureaucrats, and providing financial support to groundbreaking technology and medical facilities)

      But . . . the sergeant DID take the money, and as such exhibited crooked behavior. He made the wrong choice, as Batman later admonishes him. If he hadn't taken the bribe, and the gangster started to rough him up (while possibly also verbally threatening his wife, which would have shown him to be even more dangerous since he did his homework on the sergeant), THEN Batman intervenes and takes the gangster down . . . and then perhaps Batman makes a brief comment that Gordon is not the only good cop on the force before grappling away . . . Such a small change would have heightened the dramatic tension, given a more imperative impetus for Batman to get involved . . . and it would have shown another bright spot of hope within the GCPD. Then, when the sergeant later receives the check from the Wayne Foundation, it would make it more seem that he earned it by turning away from being crooked - and was rewarded by Gotham's dark knight (in two ways). The only other thing was the newspaper article regarding the organized crime task force. It says that it is currently being assembled, while at the end of the same paragraph it says that this team is "proving to be a formidable force." How is this possible if it is still being formed? I had to read it a few times to see if I missed any nuance about it, but no, it doesn't make sense in full context. Those things aside, I appreciated the attention to detail in the sets used, the tributes to lines and action from the 1989 film, and the general tone. A lot was packed in there!

      Wasn,t sure how to gauge that, suspension of noticing the obvious? Is it supposed to be that way in the movie continuity because Batman makes them so, or rather that the WB studio designers thought it best this way? A case of viewers seeing the obvious though assuming Batman CAN turn his head but that Michael Keaton (or a stuntman) can,t. A continuity flaw between the fiction & reality? It,s just really stupid amateurish attempt on Bruce Wayne,s part, him knowing it would be a detrimental, potentially fatal tactical mistake when in combat? WB costume design studio should've done better, I think, such a stupid mistake. Batman would get clobbered & killed eventually in that sense.😮😢.

      An actual Gotham series would be cool. Burton managed to make a character out of the city just like Scorsese with NY in his movies.

    This video just randomly came into my suggestions feed. I am glad that I clicked on it. It could definitely be an opening to a much longer story. I wanted to see more. The Batman fight scene was definitely in the style of the 1989 Tim Burtin Batman. To me, the fight scene style a bit dated style for 2021 and beyond, writing this is 2023. But impressive for a low budget indie group to mimic a style so closely. I do like the message of the short film. You felt for the cop, you wanted him to make the right decision, and you wanted a way out to be found.
    From someone who has used cameras to shoot weddings and events, I was impressed with the lighting. Good lighting doesn’t happen by accident.

      @@KaoticaStudios Yeah awesome - the Batman really captured the physicality of Keaton's batman. It's excellent.
      I like that you capture the white smoke. But you missed the red-green. Batman's eyes are green. You could sample the red Axis chemical from that movie and when Frank looks up, he sees that on the rooftop. Another nice touch would have been a rose in a vase on the kitchen table for red and green. Frank is fighting his own battle of duality. It's a nice touch that Frank is not a hero. At end he has the reputation. But still this is excellent.
      Burton uses black and white as well as red and green motifs. In fact, prices song even says it "Black and white. Red and green. The funky as thing you've ever seen ..."
      If you do part 2, what would be nice is to see Frank actual get shot to save commissioner Gordon's life. He doesn't die -- but this time he's not leading and living a lie. He is a hero. When he is in the hospital bed, he reads story about Gotham's Frank ... who almost lost his life in heroic act to save commissioner's life. The by line is Knox. Then cut to the same paper on a breakfast tray Alfred carries to Bruce.
      Alfred says ... Master Wayne I brought your breakfast and today's paper. I think you will appreciate the front page story. I guess one man really can be a symbol and make a difference. (Bit of Nolan's take.)
      Bruce, "Yeah Alfred ... Oh did did you ever give Knox a grant?" (A homage to first movie where Bruce said give Knox a grant - lol).

    Fantastic short film. Making it about a good cop who is in a desperate situation and is about to cross the Rubicon- but instead gets a wake up call and a gift that makes him stalwart in his original beliefs - Being A Good Cop.
    It illustrates that even the best of us can cross the line when the situation is right, but also that we can be pulled back from the edge and find ourselves again.
    Well done. This is a great Batman story.
    Even though Batman is more a supporting character in it, rather than the main character.
    Knowing Batman as we do, he did his research on this cop and knew he was a good man, pushed to his limits trying to help his sick wife. Desperate, he turned to the only thing he knew that might help him get some extra cash for medical bills - corruption. Even though it disgusted him to do it.
    Batman gave him the lesson, and his alter ego Bruce Wayne took the monetary incentive away to give the good cop no reason to cross over that line he was so disgusted to cross.
    Love it. Great morality tale, and a perfect Batman story.
