Batman Deadend
If you haven't seen or heard of this short film, you can now see for yourself what the buzz was about. If you have seen it and wanted a really good copy (on a DVD, no less), start checking the nearest Borders, Bookstar or whatever large bookstore chain is in your area.
Look in the magazine section for issue 7 of Movie FX video magazine on DVD. It's $9.99 US/$14.99 Can. Movie FX is distributed in a magazine-sized, full-color cardboard sleeve, and the issue number is rather small and in the lower left corner underneath the barcode. If you can't see it for some reason, issue 7 has Arnold as the Terminator and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on the cover. Batman Deadend can be found on the main menu under the title: A Director's Vision.
I was pleasantly surprised to find my subscription copy in the mail today and thought I would pass on the info.

Cool--this is probably the closest we will get to an "official" dvd release. I for one loved the short, I just wish that it didn't end on such a great cliffhanger.

Interesting! It's a horrid, pathetic, laughable attempt at a film, but a nice little trifle nonetheless. Witha proper DVD, I'll have something else to pass amongst friends instead of my VCD of it.
I'd get it before Warner whips out the ol' "cease-&-desist"...

Well if they make any profit from the batman characters WB can whip it out.. then again I would fear more from the Fox camp who owns Alien and Predator.. those are copyrighted characters that aren't always the easiest to get ahold of..

Thanks for the tip. It will be nice to get a copy of it on DVD. I am really curious about what Fox and Warner thinks about this.

I like what I've seenon the DVD so far. Batman Dead End is said to have cost 30 thousand dollars to make. It's quick and fun...at least I thought so.
Does anyone have issue 3? There's a press conference with the cast and director of Spiderman. Just wanted to hear if it's worth getting and how long it is?

DonnachaOne-I just meant the average Joe looking at this magazine on the newsstand, would not know that Batman Dead End was on this disc, because there is no reference to it anywhere on the cover of the magazine, only until you unwrap the plastic and open the "book" is reference to the short......
anyways can't wait to check it out, I was so happy to pick up the Star Wars/Storm Troopers/Cops parody on DVD free from a few years ago with a magazine I purchased, hopefully it will be as good.....

Huh? What is Batman Dead End? OK, I guess it's a short fan made film, that's officially all I know now. What is it about? Is it that Batman Beyond movie some fan was making or something?

Anyway here's a thread from another message board where this has been discussed at length...

At the last L.A. Comic Convention, they had a panel discussion with the director, crew and 2 of the cast (Batman, Joker). The guy that plays Batman is rather short. The director said his dream is to direct a Batman movie with the same cast and crew as Dead End.
