Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man #3 - Retro 1920s Dark Knight in "Arkham After Midnight: Mark of the Mad Hatter"

[quasar1020]

this is so cool for old time bat-man

[MisterMeddle]

This is awesome, especially the images from Scarecrow's fear gas. That was freaky.

[Lazarusrizing]

I was disappointed that your Batman changed imagery, but it's cool. The "nightmarish images" from Crane's toxin was beautifully rendered! A great patchwork job for those images. Plus, I'm sure one of those films is based on Dante's Inferno, because of the image of the devil eating Judas.

@Lazarusrizing

That was from L'Inferno 1911.

[vassephardi]

Good clip.

Imagine if it'd been an actual movie.

[strangerinwhite]

Awesome just brilliant and I want more.

[Vortigern99]

These are brilliant and atmospheric and cleverly (re-) written. Thanks for the infotainment!

[rorochiche]

I guess I've seen here the first scene of " the Penalty " a 20's LON CHANEY's movie... Excellent work ! Bravo !

[aloysius53]

Casting Frank Bunker Gilbreth as Dr. Arkham is BRILLIANT...made me literally Laugh-Out-Loud !

[terminalpictures]

Learn to read the "more info" and stop being an idiot. Of COURSE. The whole point is a fanciful collage of what it would have looked like in the 1920s silent era. Isn't that fucking obvious? Jesus, you people...

[amazingcomedy2]

@terminalpictures Which film is the one at 08:21 with the demon lying on the rock?

Sorry if this annoys you, I know the list is in the description I just dont want to search every movie listed as that will take long.

[RJMURILLO]

Nice "teaser-trailer-retrolike" a combination of frames from classical silent films and frames from 1940's Batman serials. Not to mention that part of Batman mythos mentioned was developed throughout years. Good background music and computer edition though!

[SpaghettiWstrnGrl]

I agree with chaingangsergeant00X....WOW...­the last 2 minutes!!!!!!!!!!

[dude3453]

what is 8:21 from? can anyone tell me?

[Philly696]

this movie is super total masterpiece

[plateshutoverlock]

Starting 8:32 you can see the sprocket holes of the film flash on and off at the sides of the screen. Weird!

[tickedoffnow]

this is amazing

[taravanflower]

the music is great.....the imagery wonderful

[piinus]

I agree. Gives that long depressing, endless drop, in the dark alley of no hope cause you'll die feel to it. Though the devil with the small human in his mouth was a bit disturbing.

[Poisonfrogg]

everything with batman was 60s.......

.....

Amazing!!!

"Alfred, I must go to Arkham, but have gotten piss drunk and I'm a bleeding idiot"

*wtf glare*

[chaingangsergeant00X]

Wow, the last two minutes of that was, wow, just......wow

[koabr3gn]

I have to say... this video was both brilliant and freaky at the same time..well done!

[PhotonDrive]

HA! I laughed all the way through! Great! Kind of a "Cabinet of Doctor Calgari" - with the original ending! If the real world hadn't got so INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING, I would be having sweet dreams tonight!

[Sugacoobs]

What a wonderful, fantastic creation! Good on you for doing this! It is such an inspired idea, I really enjoyed it! I'm going to watch them all now.

[HaisleySnook]

I really enjoyed these Batman videos. Fantastic!

[Mality]

Fantastic execution of a brilliant, original concept! A surreal masterpiece!

[BIGBOIMIKE89]

this was pure genius!!! It was stunning, beautiful, chaotic, scary and frightful. Amazing! It was so creepy and weird. Just incredible. VERY GOOD JOB!!

[BetaFett]

Great work from this Guy again. Dark, Gothic, unsettling...

Bit more left-field humour with this one tho, with the flying-machine guys, and the 'Father, So DEAD' intertitle. Still, his first Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man short inspired me to find a copy of the Man Who Laughs (The 1928 Conrad Viedt silent movie, not the Ed Brubaker Graphic novel, Bat-fans) which is a great movie that I'd recommend to anyone.

I'd still love to see this Guy do a Gotham By Gaslight Fan-Flick... ;)

[GodOfPlague]

I like this a lot I really do.

I'm not sure aout the dialogue though. ven y Bo Kane and Bill Finger standards it's unnatural. Maybe it's more of a silent movie less of a comic thing.

Anyway fun concept wish I would have thought of it :)

[nightowl685]

8:07 what is that from? it looks soooo creepy!

[spyhunter178]

I have to know where that freaky ScareCrow silhouette is from! It's so damn freaky!

[Welcome2MyHell6]

am i the only one frecked out by this video?

[madlove1927]

I'm just amazed that someone else out there makes a connection like this. I've often thought of what "The Bat-Man" would be like seen through directors like Murnau or Pabst. Even the titles are true to the period. Wonderful!!

[laura000077]

exelent!

[mattressfactorygirl]

I think I like this one better than part one. Any excuse for newsreel halucinations is a good one. ;)

[KrM4523]

scray

[DKbw89]

Genius and creative concept, and very well executed as well. The look of silent films with the overwhelming shadows and smothering static always did strike me as bordering on the nightmarish. Therefore, great atmosphere.

[syokley20022]

Some of the Batman clips were off of THE COMPLETE 1949 MOVIE SERIAL.

[terminalpictures]

Which you can clearly see on the text on the right. Sigh.

[amoebaboy]

fantastic work ! atmospheric and nightmarish.

[vjk1980]

loving it. want more.

[speedsurfer123]

6:15-6:28

ROTFLMAO.

He decided to modify his cape after that, THANK GOD.XD
