This is part of an hour-long Dark Knight parody movie.
We are students at the University of Illinois. This movie was filmed around the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus. I came up with the idea to make the enormous Batman parody back in September. I brought the idea to my fellow Illini Film and Video Club members and quickly cast all the characters. I wrote the script over the course of a few weeks. Then filming began in October 2008 and was finally completed in early April 2009. We filmed it in various lecture halls, dorm halls, and on campus streets. It spoofs many of the major scenes from the Dark Knight.
This movie has over the top, random, and at times extremely inappropriate humor. It's DEFINITELY not meant for children haha.

A saw parody sounds good considering I haven't seen the last four counting saw3D which is still saw 7 also have you found someone to play bane someone big and buff of course to bad this will be the last movie of the dark knight also are you the one who played as the joker.

@casterlord You should check out the rest of the SAW frachise. They're all good except for SAW 3D, which pissed me off so much that I decided to make my new SAW parody haha. I'm going to be playing Bane, which means that I'm going to hit the weight room consistently before we start filming the Dark Knight Falls. And yes, I played the Joker. It was a ton of fun playing the character. I definitely got my money's worth out of that costume.

Thank you for the reply it's just that that whole only vampires are undead part seemed off topic but thanks glad you thought it was good also quick question the fight scene at the fundraiser part did some people lose control like went to far it's just that there's alot of guys and I just thought you might have done some multiple cuts. Also are you the director that led this movie and is there like a blooper reel that you can post but anyway can't wait for your dark knight rising movie ciao.

Oh you're welcome :). I like interacting with my viewers. I agree that the vampires part seemed a little random. At the time, I was going for the "random" humor with those lines. Looking back on it with the knowledge I have from making several more comedy films, I would've written that part differently. You just learn how to become more effective at writing comedy and just a film in general the more you practice. You learn what works well :).

@casterlord And we have a ton of bloopers. I've been contemplating releasing some blooper videos for a while. I just haven't had the time yet since I've been working on our upcoming parody called jigSAW 2D, a parody of the entire SAW franchise. Yes we did many takes during the fundraising scene. Actually, the same actors doubled and even tripled, playing various extras. But I will be releasing the bloopers/a "making of" at some point :). We had too much fun of set lol.

I love this series I just think in this part when they bring in the body it should have gone this way.
Joker: how about undead.
Thug: uh joker.
Joker: yeah.
Thug: there's no bounty for you undead.
Joker: oh then how about alive.
Then the rest is just gold straight up the why so "horny" part just the best parody version of it I've ever seen.

@casterlord Hahaha. I like your idea for the body bag part. That would've been great turning Joker into a cheap skate and potentially stealing the bounty for himself.
I'm always pleased to meet a fan of the Dark Knight: Not So Serious. Thanks for your compliments and you have a good day.
