Batman Dead End fan film. Greatly overrated.

It's usually the source of all "spandex CAN work!" threads. =)

Very overrated, so true

 

[Mr. Socko]

wow, as soon as I saw the first post I was going to reply with "spandex CAN work"...


That's from the fanfilm, Dead End, you can search it up on youtube. I honestly didn't think it was that good, the Joker was terrible in every single way, the alien and predator costumes were good but they were there just for a random action scene. It could have come off so much better. However, there is one thing in the entire film that I really liked, the spandex costume.

And by the way, it can work

I hate to nitpick, but the spandex should've been darker. Too much contrast between the light grey spandex and the black cape and cowl. The folds ruined it for me, too.

 

[Vile]

The shot where he's putting it on makes the costume look like it's made from a jogging suit. Or t-shirt.

Eh.

It can work if you get someone taller than Bartram was, or leaner.

As soon as I saw those folds, I wept and could not watch any more. Bob Kane would be outraged.

I had my problems with it to. To nitpick...hated the utility belt, and the gauntlets were flabby, just for looks, didn't like the boots either because I thought the lifts looked ridiculous. I agree about the shade but overall I liked it.

I agree about the height. Bartram was very short. But what do you mean leaner? He was the perfect size for someone to don the spandex. Bale would look too small in them and I'm sure that's one reason why he doesn't wear it. As I was saying before, if Batman ever wore that on a real film, he would have to wear kevlar under it.

What do you mean by folds? What folds? But anyway, I doubt Bob Kane would be outraged by anything about this suit as it's closer to his drawings than the rubber suits are. If he wasn't outraged by Michael Keaton in a rubber suit as the dark vigilante he created, I doubt he would be by this one.

You don't want someone so muscled that it makes them appear to be short. You want leaner, more lithe muscles as opposed to big ones.

I mean lean as in Michael Keaton in Desperate Measures lean. Keaton would've looked kickass in a cloth suit in that flick.

Bartram didn't appear short because he was muscled. It's because he is just generally short, he's 5'6/5'7. Because of that he just looked a bit...I dont know the right word...stumpy?

I mean lean as in Michael Keaton in Desperate Measures lean. Keaton would've looked kickass in a cloth suit in that flick.

I've never seen that movie but I can't imagine Keaton ever looking good enough to be in a cloth suit unless he's got padding kevlar under it(which he should have). If the actor is going to wear nothing but the cloth suit like Adam West, I think Bartram's physique was perfect for it. But the thing is, it would be ridiculous for Batman to just wear the cloth.

If Keaton was in spandex, I can't imagine him looking any different than Adam West. Bartram's manly bod even put Bale to rest. He was just so damn short.

Folds, man! FOLDS.

The spandex should be smoooooth, contouring to the curves of your body without any inconsistencies, wrapping around your skin like a tight, silk cloth.

 

[BubbaGump]

And the thing is, Batman is the Dark Knight, not the Spandex Sh**.

I don't know. I just took BubbaGump's silly criticism and ran with it.

 

[Bat Attack]

Blech, I hated dead end. not as bad as the fan film where batman gets ****ed up the ass and killed, though.

 

[K.B.]

^ what fan film is this???? lol

I liked dead end for one and I'm glad it helped show that a cloth suit CAN work. As far as "folds", it's going to happen as it's cloth. Thats what it does.

I also agree that you need someone of a certain size to pull it off cuz otherwise then you just got the whole Adam West look again.
