Batman Fanfilm Update




William Phelps', "FAT-BAT! Special Edition"

Batman has grown old, and fat!  This film is loaded with fatness, beer, crime, burp'o'lisous fun!  Watch as Fat-Bat explores the unknown, on the
couch, try to loose weight, and have a fit for not getting his jumpin' juniper high-tech space cadet boots!

A life sized Jabba the Hutt and DragonCon?


With me being a straight, American geek, Leia's slave bikini has been one of the lasting images ingrained in my mind, even before I liked girls.  Jamin, the wonderful man from Tattooine that makes the suits the ladies sport, has had a side project running.  Operation Life Size Jabba, albeit not a very good covert ops title, will bring a 1:1 scale Jabba the Hutt to DragonCon 06.  Although no details have been released as to whether you or I can get
our pictures taken next to his slimy-repulsiveness, the lovely ladies in the metal bikins will be in full force, ready to smile and pose for photographic opportunities.

Batman Fanfilms update




We've got two updates from Batmanfanfilms.com:

John Fowler's, "Batman: Forgotten Sins"

After the death of his parent Bruce Wayne got his vengeance on Gotham by slaughtering criminals but as the years have past he's gone into denial and has come to believe that he's a hero, not a murderer. Now he spends his days telling himself lies and protecting the innocent as a masked vigilante. Then someone returns to remind The Batman who he really was.

Sebastien Galano's, "The Death of Batman"

This fan made film finds Batman in the middle of a massive drug clean-up of Gotham City when a chance encounter with a petty-thief leads to the fight of Batman's life, and his death.

Ryan vs Dorkman 2 announced.


I don't know about you guys, but I have been a serious fan for years of the film Ryan Wieber vs Dorkman Scott. It was originally released in 2003 and pit two of the best rotoscopers on the TFN boards against each other, in a contest to see who really was the best. As it turns out, RvD won TFN's competition with 54% of the vote, a staggering number to say the least.

It seems the guys are ready for round 2. They have announced that they are under way with production of number 2.
