This awesome piece of superhero love needs to sort out any problems Warner may have, and get it's ass to DVD.
There's apparently a 2-disc DVD set, featuring the film and a ton of behind the scenes stuff. So far, the only place it seems to be available is....Pedazo Chunk, a cult video store in Austin that just so happens to be run by Harry Knowles' sister. So Regular Karate, go rent it and give us the rundown!
that looks amazing
I've got my hands on a 44MB Quicktime version of this. If someone wants to put up the hosting, just PM me with the FTP info and I'll send it where you want.
I don't want to say too much since I'm the only one whose seen this so far, but it's... not what you're expecting. Great setting and art direction. Just... well, watch it and see.
How fucking cool, where did this come from?

aw
i downloaded the thing as well, but i cant seem to get it to play. it keeps hiccupping and closing after a few seconds.

I had to re-install Quicktime Pro 6.0 to get it to run. My old Quicktime wouldn't run it and my Codec player had lines running through it.
I'm not so special anymore. Download the short here (just look for the Batman link): http://www.sajuta.org/
You may also have to install "Quicktime Alternative" from freecodecs.com to view it.
holy shit!
alright! i just watched it. (its really only 6 min, the last two are credits). i got halfway thru, it stalled and then i resumed from that point. so, thats good enough for me. i had to re-download it from that site you posted, (although i couldnt get quicktime alt to install). i thought it was pretty darn cool, although i'm not sure how i feel about the surprises. i would've just preferred a normal gotham thing, to the elseworlds type of stuff. but i think it does set the bar for whoever is doing the new batman movies, (not that burton didnt set the bar pretty fucking high as well), this is a different way to do it, without it being not serious. love the costume. i hope they use that in the movies, but if theyre gonna cast some beanpole like kutcher or ledger or pearce or whoever, that aint gonna happen. theyre gonna need the fake muscles.
The opening scenes were really well done and looked like comic book artwork and panels. The dialogue with the Joker was a nice 'who-made-who' exchange. In fact, all was going great... until it decided to mix 'genres'.
i dont think the short quite lived up to this picture...

like an alex ross painting come to life. incredible.
This was entertaining... just a really well done fan-boy jerk-off, but entertaining.
The mix of genres isn't a surprise at all since all of this has happened before in DC/Darkhorse Crossovers.
It's obviously an ad for the filmmakers (even says so at the end), but it's a good one.
Cool look, but a little too "ode to modern batman"-ish.
I never tought someone could top Nicholson's Joker
I still tought the movie kinda sucked. Though I understand they had low budget and all.
The problem wasn't budgetary. When fans make stuff like this, they lack compelling stories. The test is rather, how many characters can we pack in like sardines?
Switching genres? Dark Horse? I'm guessing the Predator shows up. I'll be downloading it later tonight.
In case you missed it, AICN has an interview with the director. Danger, spoilers. Watch it first.

Dead End Director Eyes Shazam!
Source: The Sandman Tuesday, November 18, 2003
With the success of the fan-favorite Batman: Dead End, director Sandy Collora has his sights set on another legendary hero!
Here's what Sandy has to say about Shazam!
"It's pretty rare when a script captures my imagination and inspires me so much, that I have to read it twice, or even rarer still, THREE times. SHAZAM! By William Goldman is just such a script, but it's something more... A lot more.
Captain Marvel is one of my favorite superheroes. I've always been drawn to him because Billy Batson was like every fifteen-year-old boy I knew... he was like me. The only difference is Billy Batson was given the power of being the mightiest hero in the world, something every young boy hopes to be in one way or another.
But, as so eloquently put in another of my favorite comic book movies; "With great power, comes great responsibility." After the reality of being Captain Marvel has manifested itself in his psyche, Billy is faced with a dilemma that is played out impeccably in this script.
Goldman has truly captured the spirit of Billy Batson's plight, both as Captain Marvel, and as a fifteen-year-old boy trying to figure out his place in the world. Like it's tremendously successful predecessors "SUPERMAN" and "SPIDERMAN", Goldman has stoked this script's furnace with what most comic book films lack... HEART.
I FEEL this film... I SEE this film... every moment, every frame... every ounce of trepidation and frustration Billy feels, every detail of Captain Marvel's costume, every magnificent beam of magic hour light that bathes his muscular frame with the girl in his arms as he majestically floats skyward.
I had always hoped that someday, someone would make a SHAZAM! movie, now I sincerely hope with every fiber of my being, that someone will be me."
New Line Cinema is producing Shazam! - SHH! is ready when they are to get Shazam Hype! up and running... Captain Marvel was co-created by C.C. Beck and William Parker in 1940.
-------------------------
william goldman? sandy collora? sounds pretty good to me...
Finally saw this...Harry Knowles said this was the best representation of Batman ever to hit the screen?
I know it was low budget and all, but still, if you're going to do it why not try and have something of a script?
Lame, lame, lame.
The only good aspects of the short was the Batman costume, the lighting and the Joker. As everybody else pointed out, the lack of story and the absurdity/ stupidity of the little piece of plot it did have, really ruined what could have been great. Shame really. And while the Joker was good, it wasn't even close to Nicholson or Hamill.

They've also got an awesome looking Robin flick called "Grayson" at that site. I've only seen the trailer, but it looks quite insane.

yes it does. except where sandy collora's preview is only a preview, it looks like Grayson is actually a whole film where this is an actual preview for the thing. i wonder if collora's pissed that it might be stealing a little bit of his thunder? (especially with them both using superman, etc.)

Perhaps, but Grayson's Superman is evil :twisted: There's a larger file underneath the trailer, with a running time of about half an hour, called "Pieces of the puzzle". Haven't downloaded it, and since I'm away from home I probably won't until a few days, but that's probably the film.
