World's Finest

"World's Finest" is an unique project. It's a trailer for a Superman/Batman crossover movie that doesn't exists and will also never exists, at least not in this form, with these characters, actors and plot line anyway.

So the movie is one big tease, even more than standards everyday real movie trailers. The trailer will hype you all up for nothing. In that regard, I really didn't liked this short project. When watching this trailer it makes you hungry and excited for more and at the same time sad- and perhaps you'll even feel cheated afterward, when it turns out that a full length movie of this trailer will never exist at all. Sort of makes you wonder why this project was made in the first place. Surely to show off Sandy Collora's skills but couldn't he had also done this with a real movie short, like his earlier movie "Batman: Dead End".

But when you have to judge this short purely for what it is, so from a movie technical point of view, it's a really great one. It's great looking and way more professional than you'll perhaps at first would expect, although the people who've already seen "Batman: Dead End" will already know better than to expect a short with cardboard sets, cheap homemade costumes and third-rate actors. The short is not constantly impressive looking and obviously the budget wasn't sky-high but for most part it's very impressive and professional looking, with nice costumes, sets, special effects, cinematography and lighting.

The short has a good quick and typical trailer build up, with perhaps a bit too many posing shots too completely find it credible but hey, it works well for the trailer style. It has some impressive shots but also a couple of lame ones, mainly the Superman flying sequences. It was obvious that the guy was just standing at a moving car, with a camera aimed at him from an angle below. I even found it a pretty laughable thing to watch. But really the better and more spectacular moments really compensate for this.

Michael O'Hearn seemed like a pretty good Superman/Clark Kent, although he obviously isn't the greatest talented actor around. Clark Bartram reprises his Batman role well again and Kurt Carley seemed like an awesome Lex Luthor. The rest of the cast also served its purpose well enough.

It's especially interesting to watch this short after the recent new modern reinterpretations of the two main superheroes of this movie, in the movies "Batman Begins" and "Superman Returns". It's interesting to compare the style and character treatment of those movies with this one. It's actually amazing and fun to hear how much Kurt Carley does sound like Kevin Spacey, the actor who played Lex Luthor in "Superman Returns".

It's a good looking and well made and constructed trailer that however will makes you hungry for more, even though you know that there won't be more. Whatever happened to the Waner Bros. plans to create an actual full length Superman/Batman movie by the way? I thought that developments were underway for it a couple of years ago but nothing has been heard of it ever since. Instead two new separate Batman and Superman movies were made; "Batman Begins" and "Superman Returns".

Two Face was obviously out in the sun too long. Oh, well, first degree burns don't take that long to heal.

IF YOUR GOING TO DO IT DO IT RIGHT!!!! Case and point THE AVENGERS.......HELLO! The end of the dark knight rises made me sick to my stomach. I am so glad they won't return (Nolan,Bale). Hollywood WAKE UP! Sandy carola,Bat In The Sun Productions. Truly better producers/Directors that can take those characters to unforseen heights. Check Them out.

[anointedrec]

This short as well as Batman Dead End and The other Dc Inspired work Sandy Carolla has masterfully made Jump out the comics into a believable Live Action Master peace. His work is far more Exciting, Realistically true to the Characters that has been done in Decades. I would Love to see a partner ship between Sandy Carola and Bat in the sun productions. Truly they get It! I am so tired of these non comic book reading producer ,directors Taking Good Characters and give us there so called vision.

There is no impossible to Hollywood, there is still a chance that this movie will become a reality, I just hope that Michael O' Hearn will play as Superman/Clark Kent...he is also great as Titan in American Gladiator...:)

[CruuushaL]
