Batman: Dead End

Which of all the Batman movies is the best?
 It’s really a difficult question. The problem with Batman is that he is a difficult character to translate into the big screen. Though he’s one of the good guys, Batman is dark and obsessed with justice, but also a superb athlete and detective. It’s hard to believe that someone with no powers and only wearing a suit can defeat opponents that are more physically imposing or bigger in numbers, even with all his gadgets and training. In this aspect, Spiderman or Superman are easier. 
Tim Burton did a good job creating the shadowy world and twisted villains that Batman has to deal with (his Joker is still the best ever). Nolan made Batman more believable, though still there is something missing in his depiction of the Dark Knight (a true Batmobile, perhaps?). In my opinion, the best Batman film is one you can’t see in a regular cinema theater. It’s called Batman: Dead End and was directed and produced by Sandy Collora, an independent filmmaker, which explains why that movie cannot be commercialized; that and the fact that Collora has his version of Batman fight two menaces he just can’t hope to defeat: in a night like any other the Batman is out to catch the Joker who has escaped from Arkham, the mental asylum where most of his enemies are imprisoned. When he finds the Joker the lines they exchange reveal the nature of their enmity (they hate each other because each one blames the other for what they are) and everything leads to believe that the rest of the film will be about that but suddenly a completely unexpected twist happens. The Joker is pulled up side by an unknown force that seemingly kills. And Batman´s surprise when he sees who is his new contender is nothing compared to the surprise the viewer experiences when the identity of that contender is revealed. Not only that: there is yet another waiting in the dark, and when this other appears you can tell Batman this is indeed his final fight.
You can only see this outstanding film if you download it from the Internet. Do it and you will see Batman the way he should be portrayed: resourceful, relentless, shadowy but all too human and eager to fight to the very end even if it is a Dead End.

This post caught my attention because I really love Batman movies, I have seem them all, and I didn't know that it was another movie called Batman, Dead end, I will search for it ,and watch it, but I think that it would be amazing to see another version of Batman, at least one that he deserved. In addition I will do some research in order to know why this movie wasn't promoted in Theaters.

I haven't seen all of Batman movies, so I don't think I can decide which one is the best. I like the character, his dark personlaity is very appeling. But I'm going to take a look to the movie that you're recommending

I have never seen the Batman movies. Personally, I don't know his story, or his superpowers because he hasn't caught my attention. However, it is interesting to know a little about this character, and I find it curious the reasons why this movie was not available at the cinema.

Which of all the Batman movies is the best? That's a difficult question since I love all Batman's movies. They way how he fights against injustice is amazing, not only because of his great dark costume which I like, it is the intelligence that he has too.

I will honest I'm not a big fan of Batman but I have seen some movies about him and I liked them. On my side I've always thought that original movies are the best.
One thing that I liked about the Batman movie apart from its characters was the Batmobile. The mame of the movie you recommended sounds very interesting and I think to see it some day with my friends.

The truth is that I don't like DC movies, the only DC movies I've seen are Aquaman and Batman from the 80's. Many say that the Batman of the 80's is very bad but the truth fascinates me a lot. Watching Batman fight the villains alongside Robin and Batgirl for me was a very exciting thing to watch.

I like Batman vs Superman movie. The way this movie present a reality that people sometimes forgot when they are watching "a hero", not everything is perfect, not everything is wonderful. It's interesting how Batman tries to defeat Superman (if we consider he doesn't have super powers). That's why I liked that film.
Although I have never been too attracted to watch movies on superheroes and villains, I could say that I was caught by the explanation of the movie Dead End. It was exciting and easy to read. Honestly, I am not sure if I will ever watch the movie, but I can assure you it is worthy for those who love movies with such fantastic plots and characters.
To be honest, I'm not a fan of Batman movies, however I respect those who are. This type of film has something that captures the attention of others but not mine.
I think for Batman lovers choosing a single movie is a great challenge.

Honestly, I haven't watched any of the Batman movies. I wish I had so I could appropriately comment. But, I would like to make a comment on the different ways the directors portrait the characters. I love the dark ways of Tim Burton. It gives a tetric pinch to his masterpieces. What happens inside his brain? Their works make one think about the darkness needed to light up. Darkness is part of our lives. We're a ying-yang. The dark inside the light, and the light inside the dark.

In this blog Batman movies seem to be very interesting, I see that their story is fantasy, film noir, drama etc. I've only seen one or two but the one that caught my attention is the "Joker" movie.

To be honest I have always seen Batman as a traumatized person who feels the obsession to take justice in his hands and the Joker as his counterpart who seeks destruction for the pleasure of doing it, both are very complex and dark characters that somehow feel that the other gives meaning to their existence, this is probably best portrayed in the comics. I think it's very difficult for this to ever reach the big screen, since film companies do not usually take risks and limit themselves to creating content that is suitable for all audiences.

Batman is cool, I liked the way each batman is. Each one of the movies show a different perspective about how Batman is but at the end, each movie will be the story about Bruce Wayne and what important is the money for be the boss.
This is the first time I heard about Corolla's remake but seems to be interesting. I don't know if Batman is considered as a superhero since he doesn't have real superpowers. One thing that comes to my mind is the response Batman gave to Flash (in a movie remake) about how he doesn't have any superpower but at least he's millionaire. Hilarius.

Something is certain and it is that Marvel made a fortune of their universe regarding how commercial everything became. I prefer DC even though (commercially speaking) it hasn't produced as much profit as Marvel. Why did I make this comparison? because Batman: Dead End would be a complete work of art if not for how different it would be compared to what we are already used to. Batman is dark, he is not a metahuman, he is not a God, he was not exposed to gamma rays etc. Batman and Arrow are the best DC characters since their abilities are exceptional, which is why their endings should also be.

The Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies ever. It is so interesting how they show different perspectives of morality. What I like the most is the fact that Batman is more human than any other superhero, he doesn't think of himself as that though. Anyway he fight evil in his own way and that's admirable. I'd love to watch this end mentioned in your writing.

To be honest I like Batman, if talk about the Universe cinematic DC. And I never watched the movie that you describe, but is true the creator used the best way the Batman image because if the compare powers with the others super heroes probably Batman lose. Anyways I still prefer The Marvel cinematic universe.

Well, I really don't have much idea what this post is talking about, since I've hardly seen a Batman movie, but it's interesting that it ask me about Batman films, so I'm curious to want to see it.
I hate it but, I love it when films are not like you expect they to finish, as in "Batman Dead End" something unexpected happened. These kind of films are in your mind most of the time because your brain can't digest that information. Anyway, the monotonous films are so good and creative.
