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.
