The Batman Complex - Theatrical Trailer 2

[nerdsman567]

If this were a real movie and it got a consensus on Rotten Tomatoes, I believe it would sound something like this:

"As 'The Dark Knight' meets 'Inception', The Batman Complex tampers deep within the mind of DC Comics' caped-crusaider with an in-depth storyline, a strong leading cast, and a stunning exposition."

[mintatious]

This is just phenomenal. Did you make this clip?

[Razcul3603]

You rattled his cage.....

[lpsoldier2938]

What I see in your trailer:

A corrupt man (Cobb) dives into the mind of a fragile man (Wayne). Inside the mind, we see Wayne has made himself out to be this hero named Batman in this reality. However, as Cobb goes deeper into the mind of Wayne, he realizes that the heroics are a facade for something far more sinister and disturbing. This forces the corrupt Cobb to become something he never thought he could be, a hero. So, the hero becomes the villain and the villain becomes the hero.

[mintatious]

@lpsoldier2938 I didn't gather this from the clip, but, do you do creative writing? If so, you should make up this story, I enjoyed reading your paragraph.

[lpsoldier2938]

You replace Batman with a hero-like character and this movie could not only be made, but win a few awards as well.

[darkersoul83]

fuck you.. get a life.

[MisterChuck719]

the scene with the Giant bat and the man embracing it. where is that from?

[tomaspeverell]

@MisterChuck719 Batman Forever

[Jessethevampire]

OH. MY. GOD. This is AMAZING! I just got goosebumps!

[andrew991116]

How did you make the title cards? (is that how it's called?)

Example:

When it says

"On Dec. 23"

"Unlock his secrets"

"Unhinge his mind"

"Unleash the knight"

Etc.

[Funnyman519]

If only Christopher Nolan would show this before TDKR as a way of saying thank you to all of the fans and their work over the years regarding his films... :/ This and the other TBMC trailers would be amazing to see in theaters! They're amazing!!! Great work!!!!

[cheeep]

This is so phenomenal. It makes movies more than what they are. It actually elevates the genre in my mind. I wish you could obtain the licensing to do this for real. Ultra meta-film epics are the future of film, just give it another hundred years. You're a visionary. Thank you.

[Geektality]

If David Cronenberg or Daren Arinofsky directed a superhero movie.

[profmalicious]

Awesome, though a tiny bit confusing. It seems to imply that they're trying to make him believe he's batman, like they did to Michael Keaton. But according to the teaser trailer, the opposite is true.

You know what, I'm just gonna go with Greed70's interpretation.

[CIarKent]

@profmalicious from what I understand these guys were first sent to cure Bale and all go into his mind like in inception but Bale's mind fights them with projections of the Joker and Two-Face so they plant the seed of Batman in order to defeat these projections but then Batman himself becomes evil and so their characters then appear as villains (Scarecrow, Ra's, Bane)

[profmalicious]

@CIarKent Works for me.

[theblackrose496]

Once again.. Brilliant. Bravo! 

[MrJack2987]

If this movie gets done someday (lets hope it) the ONLY director, that can take this to the big screen is DARREN ARONOFSKY.

[Aztexwarrior]

Jesus Christ! this has to be made into a real movie cause im going to go crazy with anticipation!

[Leathel53]

Iconic, so chilling. If this were a real film I would be there at the box office day 1.

[Kyleloyd]

Maybe he should write up a book or script called the batman complex to go with his trailers. Might be pretty interesting.

[zomaster1]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY SUBSCRIBING NOW.

[BlackhawkChurchDJHan]

TV spots plz!

[SpiderCoppedge]

Also also: is the "plot" about Cobb and his team trying to *stop* Wayne from believing he's Batman?

[SpiderCoppedge]

OK, this has been driving me nuts: What movie is the old man talking about the human mind needing to protect itself from intense emotional pain from?

Also, is the Bale "You're insane! And I want you out before you do more damage!" clip from Reign of Fire?

[McGeesJabberwock]

@SpiderCoppedge a) Smallville episode 'Labyrinth'

b) Yes.

[DaSupermanOf1990]

I WANT YOU TO MAKE A CLIP!

[DeniseBeeVlogs]

This is fanfuckingtastic, oh my GOD!

[TheHighKingFingolfin]

This. Is. Sick. As. Fuck. I thought the theatrical trailer #1 couldn't be topped. You proved me wrong. Perfect.

[MrJonnypfunk]

Ummm... edited montage wow.

[thenewdeal38]

i LOVE YOU

[00420433]

@themanbatman Dear themantbatman, i love these trailers and i can't help wondering, will it still come out? Greetings, 00420433

[PsykoReaper926]

From the trailer, and I'm only speculating, that DiCaprio has what I would call...The Joker Complex, and he doesn't even know it.

[xxTaKe2xx]

Watching this on December 23 <3

[SpiderCoppedge]

I think this is my favorite trailer so far for this "project". More than anything, it shows that I really kinda want to see DiCaprio and Bale square off in a movie together at some point.

[timmylawson]

LEGENDARY..... IM YOUR FAN NOW... TEACH ME SOME SKILLS plzzzz

[bobcheeseable]

pure bliss, ive seen a lot of edited trailers and ive made a few and that is the best one ive EVER seen, u just got ur self a subcriber

[KonstantinSolid]

A masterpiece. The brilliant video.

[jimmerspy]

Saw this for first time today & showed it to a buddy this afternoon who is also a Batman fan.

We discussed this thing on & off all afternoon & early evening. Everything from where the plot would go if this were a motion picture to discussing how much we hope a graphic novel author will see this & actually contact you about incorporating this story into a comic. You should really consider this, Honestly, one of the coolest fan-made projects I have ever seen on the web.

I am impressed.

[izzmontano91]

the last part with the bat was cool

[lazyguy348]

what movie is that old guy from?

[PunkMetalero9666]

@lazyguy348 shutter island

[CyrusB1]

ok, there's 2 versions of this song:

1. the version used in this most excellent video: Peter Gabriel - My Body Is A Cage

2. Peter Gabriel - My Body Is A Cage (Oxford London Temple Version); which is the only version I could find on Youtube that wasn't live.

Oxford London Temple version doesn't give you the high-impact second portion of the song, which, if you're like me, is the part you want.

Good luck (and thank you for the most excellent videos, sir!)

[Greed70]

I know that Batman Complex is suppose to be interpreted as Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) being crazy and believes he is Batman even though he isn't. But the way I'm interpreting it is that Hugo Strange (or who ever that old guy is) hired Cobb under false pretense and actually scrambled Bruce Waynes psyche. Now Bruce doesn't know what to believe and Hugo basically succeeded, so now Cobb and his crew must go back in his mind and fix him. While in his mind they must fight Joker, 2face and Batman.

[silvachristopher23]

@Greed70 There were actually a bunch of different Batman stories like this. I believe a few in the TAS, and they even touch on it in Arkham City. Really cool stories. Which is why I love this so much.

[jevryday84]

@Greed70 oooh! i like that idea...thatd make a great crosser graphic novel!!

[jevryday84]

@jevryday84 I meant cossover!

[TheDukeofMadness]

That was brilliant. It almost repairs the damage done by Batman and Robin.

[ibsprintin]

from what movie is that giant bat from? is that Batman Begins? or what

[ibsprintin]

you my friend are a genius!!!

[rumiphoenixo]

Wow the last scene was epic..*goosebumps*

[TheActionGamer152]

If they make a sequel to inception, this should be the general plot.

[shaneanus]

Sorry had to come back and wath this again!

[shaneanus]

holy crap...i just wachted your first trailer and then you top it with number 2..

amazing work

subcribed and thumbs up..DONE!

[buakawkaoklai]

EXTREMELY POWERFUL...

[neo06m2003]

MY GOD THIS IS SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!

[PunkMetalero9666]

@DenimZero its the same

[PunkMetalero9666]

@DenimZero my body is a cage by peter gabriel

[buakawkaoklai]

BEST MOVIE EVER...CHRIS NOLAN EAT YOU HEART OUT

[EllenRebecca3]

2:11 to 2:14 is simply spectacular!

[EllenRebecca3]

This gave me shivers! I think I held my breath at one point because I only became aware of breathing out at the end.

[494ta]

is there any way you can upload or send me the music mix without the dialogue? that would be much appreciated

[Mrcool210]

I WANT THIS MOVIE MADE NOW!!!!!

[xBluLady]

If I ever make a movie, you are going to make my trailers. xDD

[TheRaellz]

HORRIBLE... zero effort was put into this. it's that or a complete lack of talent.

[Locoyo2007]

View this like over hundred times. Freaking awesome. Hope you have new trailers coming.

[corvisthejoker]

simply great

[TheGameMaster00]

What is this music with the violins its great?

[0180917]

@TheGameMaster00 My Body Is A Cage - Peter Gabriel

[MarvelComics1985]

Man, am I shithead for not commenting on this simply amazing video. You took a song that I can't and shouldn't get out of my head, and used it for an entire trailer with the right beats. Even though you had to use a scene where Christian Bale spoke in his native British @ 0:59 ("Reign of Fire", am I right?), the whole flawless work you put into this just basically erased that con. And the end was also quite chilling as well.

[NickolasAndrews]

And here I was thinking there's no way you could top your first theatrical trailer for 'The Batman Complex'.

This is incredible..

[SSJKalean]

I didn't see that you'd made yet another trailer.

Why must you always make me wish for this to be a real movie?

[sinestroKILLA]

wait...first off i love whoever made this this is hands down the best thing ive ever seen on reddit but...IS THIS REAL i know its made up of the mechanist, inception, batman ect. movie clips but what exactley is this?

[michaelmoviemaker]

01. The Batman

02. The Idea

03. The Butler

04. The Joker

REALLY?!?! IN THIS MOVIE?!??! IM GODDAMN IN!!!!!!!!!!!

[bromordra]

I love the extended use of American Psycho in this one, really lends alot of creedence to the more dark, bleak tones of the story you were going for. Really love it, hope you do at least one more after Dark Knight Rises comes out.

[LostRed33]

Where do you find this version of the song?

[DestructiveMomoKing]

That last shot with the man-bat was genius. Chills down my spine every time.

[bonerpolice22]

where the fuck is that shot with the giant man-bat from?!?!?

[CoolioVids101]

@bonerpolice22 its a deleted scene from Batman Forever

[CoolioVids101]

I have watched this trailer atlease 50 times this week...and its tuesday

[JustForTheJokes]

@CoolioVids101 i know dudeeee

[gonard12]

you have no idea how good i think this is.....

keep up the good work! :D

[NathanVanattan]

Holy SHit.....

[JustForTheJokes]

Gave me shivers , best trailer i have ever watched amazing.

[TheBatticus]

If this turned out to be the plot for The Dark Knight Rises, I think I would be quite happy.

[494ta]

what movie is at 1:00 ? rescue dawn?

[GoofedGames]

@494ta the movie is reign of fire

[Kayliana19]

This is BRILLIANT and beautifully done- no doubt the best fake trailer I've ever seen. The music and the coordination of the scenes, everything is amazing, I love it :D

[Vyrus95]

@SCOLTON97simoncolton You're welcome m8 :)

[Lachyatt]

Legitimately, probably the best fan made trailer for anything I've ever seen. I'm addicted to this trailer, especially the final image, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

[mthakore]

@Lachyatt It's a deleted scene in Batman Forever

[Vyrus95]

@SCOLTON97simoncolton The Song is called "Peter Gabriel - My Body Is a Cage"

[lesner18]

@themanbatman.Very well made. Just brilliant like ur WSAYO saga. which program do u use? n how do u put 2 different movie clips in 1 clip like 0:22 . whatever, it is the best trailer i have ever seen. Are u makin this as a movie or something or only a trailer?

[gravyhouse]

Directors should hire you to make their trailers

[theBOBandROBshow]

This has the potential to be an A grade movie 10/10 man well done!!!!

[tylerabboud]

@themanbatman what is the end scene from? that is crazy

[shadowstalker1120]

What the hell movie is that scene at 2:10 from? It's an awesome image!

[GrantBrownDog]

The American Psycho line at the end makes it look like he's accepted that he's crazy, but that he still wants to live within his mind and he doesn't care if the others are trapped or not. Friggin Awesome

[InnerVenom123]

@GrantBrownDog To add onto that; I think it would be Joker that makes him accept the fact that he's crazy.

[GrantBrownDog]

@InnerVenom123 That sounds awesome, Joker turns him into the American Psycho mindset

[InnerVenom123]

@GrantBrownDog All it takes is "one bad day" after all. I would think discovering your life is a lie is basically enough for that "one bad day".

[cromwell300]

you should send this to christopher nolan so he can make a batman/inception movie

[flxcvz]

I would go watch this in the cinema, buy it, and download it in HD.

[Kellims313]

Wow. This is very cool. One question: What's the movie with the person dressed up as an actual bat and the man standing in front of him? Looks interesting.

[95samox]

It's finally a plot line worth seeing. It's too bad it's a fan made trailer.

[95samox]

Ok my head hurts watching this so much.

[0180917]

The absence of a feature length film will make December 23 a very sad day for me each year. This surpasses even the first theatrical trailer.

[euanhoff]

Who can dislike this... even the Joker would have liked it.

[Silverknight16]

I cannot possibly like this trailer enough.

[frankothetanko58]

I love the Michael Keaton nod in the beginning.

[rorschachsshadow]

That final image of bruce wayne and the bat sold it for me!!

[Locoyo2007]

Dude I dont know how any times I see this It makes me say , Damn I wish this was real.

[WOLFMUTTPICS]

whats the song in the beginning?

[dchero]

I actually feel for these characters and they're not even real. Damn your a freaking art genius.

[NurseManhatten]

Gave me goose bumps, terrific job!

[5pointsfromgryfindor]

These are all incredible, I can't decide which one is best. I love the use of "Road to Awe" in the first one but I like the titles in this more and the ending scene with the bat is just spectacular. Would you mind if I took your first one and replaced its titles with these and edited the ending in, then put it up on my channel as a response to this? I'd give you all the credit of course.

[Commanderlewis]

It's good, really good! Brilliant in fact! But i felt more a connection on an emotional level with the first trailer!

[sissors66]

and thanx for the track ive just discovered one of the best songs in the world

[sissors66]

oohhh tom hardy as bane

[AshuRynxu]

beautiful and epic. wish this was real.

[tidus902000]

It's so great! I can cry for this!

Thanks!



[rahulm92]

*slow clap*

[khang110192]

anyone can't wait for December 23?

oh wait.. but what year?

[WhySoSerious0331]

This may very well be your opus, bats! The amount of time, creativity, planning, and editing you put into this really shows because my God does it look like a legitimate, amazing, badass film!

[brokenangel48]

Why can't this be real??

[Raymint]

Not bad, dude!

[vivatdk65]

this is a masterpiece man 5/5

[JatevinM]

Its beautiful

[crimpyfuzzball8]

so epic. so amazing.

this would make such an epic movie.

[LudusVan]

This is just...the greatest thing just ever.

You actually have me excited for December 23

[detectivemint]

I have seen this trailer sooo many times and its still awesome. Great work, dude.

[arsh613]

Holy crap man... you elevated this above 'awesome' to simply 'beautiful'. Fantastic work, man. Simply fantastic.

[Jogeta5]

I can't stop watching this trailer, it's too awesome.

(´･ω･`)

[killernihat]

music?

[Jogeta5]

@killernihat

Peter Gabriel - My body is a cage

[Locoyo2007]

This is the best Fan made trailer ever. Good job dude. Good job.

[schoisch]

Rarely does my mind shout "FUCK YES" in my head for the entirety of the trailer, let alone watching it on youtube instead of in a theatre. it's a shame that you don't get paid for your work.

[maxthue]

You know... if you ever made this into a real movie... it would with out a doubt win the whole bloody oscar and any other award show... this is unspeakable amazing, and if you EVER get a chance to make this into a real movie i would personly give some money to the project

[Jogeta5]

Why so few views for the Marvel-DC videos on this channel?

[NBDxiH4CKzZ]

i seen these guys fliming this in scotland :o there were lke right beside were i was staying :D

[harles76]

This trailer just gave me an insight into Bruce Wayne's Mind...

[CIarKent]

I can't wait until you incorporate Bane into this. Tom Hardy was already seen in your trailers so it would fit perfectly. just like the scarecrow

[Flameshadow1010]

@CIarKent despite the films I saw used in this were all done by Nolan, It still IS pretty scary to see Caine play a fused role of a "forced" member of Cobb's team AND then turn into scarecrow due to his stay withing Wayne/Bales's mind.

I dunno, it just clicks so well

[CIarKent]

@Flameshadow1010 yes and also the parts with Alfred "come back to reality" from inception, implying that Batman's Alfred is just part of his imagination based on the image of the real Alfred in the real world.

I'd also love it if he incorporates Bane into these trailers to imply this is what the character of Tom Hardy from Inception becomes when inside Wayene's mind

[livewonderland]

Amazing TRAILER. You're one of the best youtubers that does fan-made trailers i've ever seen! Ah, and what's the song name? I've totally fallen in love with it! *_*

[amygo73]

Dude, where did you come up with this?

[Jogeta5]

*Slow-clap* Brilliant work, brilliant.



[AlexandraLovesActing]

Damn, damn Bloody BRILLIANT, AWESOME!!!! Gosh, I can't stop watching this. I'm speechless. Keep the amazing job.

[darthdaris]

is the oldman supposed to be strange?

[jevryday84]

goddamn it bro.... on dec 23, i better be watching this movie!!! nice work...

[euanhoff]

You have a hell of a lot of Oscar winners and nominees in this project.

[RHAK313]

Pure Brilliance 

[Rsunderdogs]

Genius my friend...genius...

[Runningsuperman]

WTF? Why only 3307 views?

[Austral13]

So the other two were already awesome, but this one really raises the bar. Great editing and quote selection. *applause*

[jonathanchui19950105]

can i really have a full film of this xp?

[patrickallen13]

Woah..

[Joecbg100]

Can you do a tribute to Inception with this song, please...?

[jorzeus]

@Joecbg100 THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO INCEPTION!

[Joecbg100]

@jorzeus A full length one with the characters and not Batman, please...?

[jorzeus]

@Joecbg100 Yeah!, i'm just kidding.

[klandgraf08]

Okay that part towards the end with Bruce and that Giant bat was a little freaky. Fantastic job!

[mthakore]

Two people's bodies are a cage
