Note, I recommend the High Res 60MB version of this if you are at all interested beyond the first 30 seconds. The YouTube version is here for the lazy and/or bandwidth challenged
A fan written script about a post Batman era Dick Grayson led to the creation of this trailer. The trailer is a bit long and pretty much tells the overall scope of the story. Batman is gone, but villains rise up again in his absence. Grayson re-dons the guise of Robin to fight crime in Gotham City once more. Cameo appearances come from Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Lantern, Batgirl and more.
In watching the trailer it’s obviously amateur in it’s portrayal of nearly the whole of the story in a fully linear manner. Trailers need to make you want to find out what happens and get excited about potential, I feel like I know way too much after watching this, but of course this can be forgiven as it seems unlikely this film will ever be produced in it’s entirety anyway… I didn’t read the script, so I’d hope it’s development is a touch more mature. I want to want more from this, but don’t…
I can partially understand the appeal of this as a popular internet phenomenon, it is good in a generally poor area of fan created action/adventure films.

Super Paper Mario For Wii
April 8, 2007 | 1 Comment
I really liked Paper Mario on the GameCube, though I was never able to complete it do to time conflicts… With that in mind I have been casually watching news about this version. IGN describes Super Paper Mario for Nintendo Wii as a 2D platformer, 3D adventure, with RPG elements mixed in. With that in mind, I watched the review above. Now I’m hooked. I will own this game, soon.
