Me & some friends are making a Batman fanfilm that we hope to start filming next year. I'm creating this thread in an attempt to try to spark some interest.
Just a little tidbit about me: I'm 15, African American, and have no experience acting, or I have a little due to acting out plays in class but nothing major. I'm set to play the Joker in it, and so far I've created a journal full of entries pertaining to his thoughts, which starts pre-Joker, and I'm close to completing a new voice that will be sort of deep, and raspy, compared to Ledger's more high pitched voice.
Lol, it may be hard to believe but even though we're young, we're trying to be as mature and serious about the project as possible because we all want to have fun, but at the same time deliver a movie that fans will love and be able to talk about, so you all don't have to worry about a movie where it's the Adam West era all over.
So, any questions or comments you all have, let me hear it. I've got no problem answering questions or getting criticism, because I know a lot of people may think this will be crap, which we're making sure it won't be.
Oh & I wanted to add that this will end up being on Youtube, we're not selling it, of course, due to the fact we don't want to get sued.
And one last tidbit of information, the guy that I'm working on this with is a fellow member...Bat Dude. So....he'll of course be Batman.

At the earliest, it may be out by next year, but that's only if we can start filming. At this point I main concern is looking too young, but a lot can change in a year so we'll see.
If you've read "The Killing Joke" the story will have the theme that the Joker supports which is "it only takes one bad day to drive a man insane" and thus his mission is to try to drive both Batman and Harvey Dent insane. The story, will have other themes mixed in, which we are currently working on, but the main theme is the one I described.
In case you're wondering, for my portrayal, I'm trying to go for an intense Joker who, like every incarnation, plays mindgames, and he's always intentionally trying to make people uncomfortable around him. I'm studying different movements that would maybe make people scared, and nothing will be too consistent, because my version is constantly changing himself up (not too much, just as far as mannerisms go).
Since we'll be able to drive by then, whatever car we have by then, the plan was to try to turn that into the batmobile, and add in the effects digitally.
Well, for Batman's costume it may be hand made or bought and modified, but he's trying as best he can to make it appear like armor, and to just look real.
Yes, we're going to have extras, no doubt about that, but their faces will be covered, so for scenes that some of the main people aren't in, they can be used as the henchman. But we're of course going to find some people to be extras.
Also, we're using the characters of Vicki Vale & Knox (the character from the '89 movie). But all I'm going to say is Dent has a wife, which is public knowledge, especially to the Joker, and the Joker finds out about Dent's past.....
Yes, TDK, because he's not exactly permawhite, and also B('89) because characters like Vale & Knox are included, and I also want to take elements from TAS.
