    Man this short movie rocks. Made for a mere $30,000, Sandy Collora proved that even with a tiny budget he could bring a truer, darker and superior Batman to life than Joel Schumacher could with zillions of dollars and A-List names at his disposal. Gone is the stupid moulded plast...( read more)ic physique and overuse of the bat-rope/grapplehook thingy. In it's place we have a Batman closer to the comic book. The unknown playing did so with attitude and anger, just like the character is supposed to be. And the dude who played the Joker was much better than Jack Nicholson and he didn't ask for £20 million for it either. This is a movie made by people who love movies, not by studios looking for a profit.

    Once the Joker is snatched away the movie becomes more than just a cool short, it's an action-packed mini epic. The Alien creature effects are flawless considering the budget and the Predator looks mighty cool. The fight scene with him and Batman is wicked and flawlessly choreographed. Though Batman doesn't know what he's let himself in for as half a dozen other Predators (all seriously cool looking) show up (as do more Aliens) for a royal rumble. It's at this point the film fades out, leaving us wanting more. A feature length version of this story would be MORE than welcome but what we get at the moment is ACE!

    It's worth mentioning the music. It's all temp score but it's seamlessly put together. Using Shirley Walker's score for Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Alan Silvestri's Predator Theme and James Horner's Aliens music (the best of the four) we have a movie with a score from beginning to end that is made of themes we all know and are familiar with. No Batman, Alien or Predator (yay!) fan will be left disappointed or distanced.

    Sandy Collora's direction more resembles Tim Burton's dark visions on the first two Batman movies and nothing like the camp, neon coated nonsense of Schumacher's films. Batman: Dead End is more than enough to set the balance straight and make up for the travesty of Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.

    Interesting low budget short. Loved the idea that two different universes merging, Batman and Preditor/Alien. Wish there was more.

    An amazing fan-film, which can be found on YouTube, from Sandy Collora. In just 8 minutes, it delivered that what the 4 previous feature films didn't.

    Clark Bartram fit the "Batman" role perfectly, in a way much better than Bale's recent showdown as the legendary Bruce Wayne. T...( read more)he 1939 suit was an absolute idea... The white contacts where a nice touch, and it showed that the producers preferred to focus on the gritty side of the comic other than the "realistic" tilt Hollywood directors chose.

    Andrew Koenig as the Joker was very good, I'll will probably get flamed for this, but he was much better than Heath Ledger. I preferred the chaotic, yet psychotic feel of the character.

    I never was a fan of AvP films, however the costumes where rather amazing.

    The figth scene, Batman vs Predator was mesmerizing to say the least. It's incredible that in such a short time with limited budget and all I still do prefer this fight scene from any other Batman flick. There were no big sets, most of the action was confined to one very simple location with that "Gotham City" feeling, that neither Nolan could achieve in "The Dark Knight".

    I never thought I'd see that sort of cinematography in a live action Batman film.

    Collora should direct a "1939 feature Batman film", much different than the "Dark Knight Universe" and probably much more appealing to the comic-book fans.
