BATMAN CITY OF SCARS 

Anyone here after “dying is easy”

Imagine what they could do with a Hollywood budget...bravo you guys.

This film has a dangerous Gotham, terrifying Joker, great theme, great tone, and good Batman, and it feels like a comic

10 years on and this film is still up there as one of the best fan films ever made in any genre. Watching it again is like reading one of your favourite comics : you know exactly what happens but it still feels new. Bat In The Sun nailed this.

Perfect Batman Voice Good Joker Great characters involved Beautiful Suit Wonderful Lines Amazing cinematography And perfect way to show how batman really is and how he thinks. 10/10

This is natural , dark and scare , potray 100% gotham dirty

A batman movie like this can never exist in Hollywood.

“I could have taken the silent approach slipped in unnoticed... but I’m looking to be noticed... I need to make it clear that criminals will no longer be tolerated in Gotham that tonight.... it ends!” This is phenomenal writing

Kevin Porter is like the live action version of Kevin Conroy. Kevin Conroy and Kevin Porter *ARE* Batman!

Little Kid: Why didn't you save my parents? Batman: Cause I need a new sidekick.

They get the character of Batman to a literal science it’s literally the perfect Batman story

Kevin Porter is like the best Batman I’ve ever seen. The voice, the acting, the suit. He’s perfect for this role. And batinthesun does so freaking well with the directing and effects.

Can you imagine the feels if Bruce Wayne were real? like imagine if there was this playboy millionaire that everyone thought was a douchebag. and then you found out that motherfucker left flowers where his parents died every chance he got. Shit would be sad as fuck.

And this, ladies and gents... Is how you do a Batman fan film...

As a Batman fan, this movie make me jump back in time when I saw the animated series, the surroundings, some takes, the fights and even the batsuit was incredible, the size of the actor and his body shape is amazing, a perfect comic book Batman... Just remember this, Bruce Wayne died with his parent's that night, cause he's not Bruce Wayne anymore,that's why he put that suit every night, that no one ever suffer what he suffer, and the kid killing the joker brings back that... What would it be if he could killed Joe Chill, if he had the will to revenge his parents instead of doing justice, that is the dilema of this movie. Vengeance or Justice... I think Justice is the only way... It's not Batman's fault, he's there because of the underworld criminals of gotham... They created him... Awesome work, I do like it a lot and I give you a 10, because you reflect perfectly the batman's psique and his inner struggles, and you don't have the budget of some other Batman's productions and even so you did an excellent job, as a fan I'll thank you.

The best part is they nailed the emotional response that Batman is supposed to trigger. I mean this feels just like a live action comic with live-action Kevin Conroy!

Who ever made this should direct the next Batman movie 10/10

I love how the actor who portrays Bruce really resembles and sounds like the one in the original animated series. I like how much attention they put to the details (I actually watched joker's preparation segment several times) and the actors move and talk naturally. it really has this feel and atmosphere more closer to the comics and animated series than the latest batman films (which I also liked a lot).

Who’s here after dying is easy

I love how this film portrays The Joker as an actual threat rather than just being the ‘cool Batman villain’ that everyone loves, and how this film portrays Bats as a genuinely kind person who cares for the people of Gotham!

I showed this to my mum and she asked “When did DC release this?” 😂 great movie guys👍👌🏻

I wonder if we'll ever get another one from them? They nailed batman better than Hollywood and I'd love to see another 30 minutes to even over a hour film from batinthesun

This is genuinely terrifying and real, this is how it would play out if Batman existed in real life. And I LOVE IT

I remember when I watched this YEARS ago when my dad and I were still living in a flat! So nostalgic, and well made!

this short budget fan film is even better than big budget movies. this is how real batman Is.

The Batman logo used in this film is awesome.

After all these years, I now realize that from the moment he tells the story about the lion and the zebra, Joker sewed the seed in the kid’s head that he was going to kill him. He absolutely wanted this to happen, and he was telling us from the beginning that he would die tonight.

Dear Warner Bros, please, hire this creative team to do a TV Series for you. This is a masterpiece.

Amazing concept, amazing story. This is a true Batman story. This is Batman done right.

Does anyone else think that this is a real life version of the new adventures of batman animated series tv show

Even after over a decade you guys still make some of the best Batman films I've seen.

Sir, I have been a Batman fan almost all of my life. Well, all of DC really. I am 51 years old now and I have got to tell you, you are totally fricking Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Loved the story! The Acting! The wardrobe!!! All just excellent!!!!!!!!! Hats off to you all!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!! And I could go on and on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incredible work, guys. I don't see the actor playing Batman. I see the goddamn Batman.

Btw the scene with joker building the bomb.. And u can just see the wear n tare in the make up on his hands.. Such a authentic scene. Unreal. Great job guys

I’m watching this masterpiece to Prepare myself for “Dying is Easy” 🦇🖤

I can't believe this is 10 years old and I never heard of it.

Nice feels like a cross between Batman The Animated Series, Batman Arkham games, and Keaton's & Affleck's Batman

This was so much like a real Batman movie bro. Most of the time they show how Batman has a wonderful life and no villain can stop him and he has so many fans. This shows what fighting crime is really like. There's death, confusion, and some bad choices. Well done. Thank you for giving us a good Batman movie.

This is the closest fan film to a Hollywood movie that I’ve ever seen. Like, WOW. From the cinematography to the costumes to the acting, this is definitely worthy of the big screen. Amazing work, hope to see more!

its been 9 years and I still watch this.......This is a true, positively, affirmatively, incredibly well done piece of art that should be placed in the batman hall of fame

I honestly thought joker was pissing on him 🤣

That was a really good casting choice for Bruce Wayne!

Good story, good acting, good soundtrack, humorous without compromising the drama of it. Excellent action sequences. Very true to the canon to the point where this would work in an alternate universe comic. Best joker since heath ledger and a very convincing Batman with great dialogue and monologue. And the whole time I really thought I was in the gritty streets and alleyways of Gotham. I think DC studios needs you desperately.

THANK YOU!!! Once again, "Bat In The Sun" has produced a film that must be ranked among the best depictions of The Batman. Oscar worthy performances all around. Captivating, dramatic, and suspenseful all at the same time. Congratulations!!! Mark Simon (USN, 1981-1989)

Kevin Porter is just the perfect live action Batman and it's sad that Hollywood casting has become a popularity contest because this guy should have been in the Superman/Batman movie.

This is the definition of perfection. the costumes, lighting, voices, acting, everything there is worthy of a blockbuster movie. it's 2019 so I might be late to watch it, but fantastic job anyhow. the way you showed Batman's self-conflict was incredible and my favorite part. this fan film leaves a scar.

As a Life long Batman Fan this was by far one of the best Batman Fan Films I have seen in quite some time it was gritty and it was everything Batman is Kudos to you guys for this amazing film

The dude playing Batman has the voice. Needs his own film with a huge budget. Get it done!

Pretty good for a fan made Batman film. Easily one the best one yet in my opinion. I hope to see more batinthesun Batman fan films in the future.

This guy has the perfect Batman voice! He sounds similar to Kevin Conroy.

I'd rather watch a season of this than anything DCEU is putting on screen. This Batman feels more authentic. Truly astonishing work, reminds me of Batman: the Animated Series.

"Gothams sick of Batmans concience......and so am I." That was a great line!!!!

If only Hollywood would do batman like this.......

20:35-21:05 - "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb."

The directors face is perfect for the joker. Just watched " dying is easy " and now I'm hooked to this channel. Awsome work!

This is why It's Hardest to be the Batman..... The Dark Knight does what He only can... But the PAIN remains.... Great document Batinthesun.... Keep it On...

The joker is so terrifying and menacing in this, I love this portrayal. Batman is also amazing from the fight scenes to his narrating voice

It is October 19, 2018 & this is still one of my all time favorite films. Pure genius in creating this!!

Stumbled across this a few years ago and keep coming back. Despite not having the budget of movies or tv shows they still managed to create one of if not the best depictions of Gotham put to screen. This is how you make Gotham dark as hell without feeling overdone.

the Nolan Trilogy, Batman 1989 series, Joker 2019, and the DCEU feel kind of like comics but this one. This is one of the most Comic like films I have ever seen. Almost Better than The Batman (2022)

One of the best Batman films ever.

That kid was savage he killed the joker and told off batman

"Gotham is sick of Batman's conscience." That's amazing.

That ending monologue - epic.

The best live action Batman film till this day.

This is so much better than most of the actual Batman movies. Proof that tiny budgets can still produce great content. Thank you for making it.

How is it that people on RU-vid can do videos this great and Hollywood has billions to throw at movies and they can't seem to manage? We need a series like this

Gotta love how the carnival extras are actual entire families, probably friends of the crew. I’ve worked as a boom op for 20 years now, I know love for film when I see it. Well done to you all!

15:20 i thought the joker was peeing on his face XD

The suit of the original comics, the voice of Kevin Conroy, and the looks of Ben Affleck before BvS was even announced. Perfect Batman on the outside.

I am just so bloody proud of everyone who made this possible - just Batman done right - thank you

I can't get enough of this Kevin's Batman! Amazing!!

truely dark this is how batman comics should be done.

I remember this! Saw this years ago and couldn't believe how good it was!!! Why can't Warner Brothers do Batman movies like this? WHY?!

This is incredible. The tone is amazing, storyline is gritty. Been on my watchlist for a very long time and I wish I’d got around to watching it sooner. Great work all involved. Been a Batman fan all my life and this is a perfect example of why I am!! Love it!!!!!!

The movie Hollywood NEVER had, have and will never HAVE the balls to give us. You are TRUE Batman fans and superb story tellers and the late Bob Kane would be proud of you. Keep making us all proud!

This should be a TV show connected to Arrow and Flash with Kevin Porter as Batman that would be epic.

The guy playing Batman is also the guy that played Punisher in super power beat down episode 12.

This is so gritty, very nice cinematography and the constant silence in the background makes for a very brooding atmosphere. Amazing Batman story.

Just finished watching this. Your Batman was spot-on! Everything from the voice (Kevin Conroy-like) to the movements and mannerisms, gadgets, bat-bike, etc. was excellent! And the themes you explored were meaningful as well. Great work!

I have to say, the girl playing Harley nails it!

*This was made 7 years ago?!?!* How come i never see this,it's really good!!

WB needs to fund these guys for a batman movie

Long time batman fan here comics and all movies, shows, animated and cartoons . This is by far best fanfilm ever. Great job guys. Huge props to you guys. Keep it up. BATMAN FOREVER!!!!!

That was a *fan* film!? AMAZING!!!!! When the kid said, "Why didn't you save my parents?" I actually got the feels....

wow just wow great film this is probably the best batman fan film ever made

There is no boundaries for creativity and you guys proved it. Please keep going.

Insanely well made. This is my favorite BITS production!

5 years later, "Batman: City of Scars" is still one of my all-time favorite videos on RU-vid! :)

This joker is way, waaay better than jared leto's joker. I love how he mutters shit to himself; he's creepy af.

To say this is good is a biblical understatement.Damn it." Dying is easy" was just the icing on your obvious talent.Excelllent story telling and spot on delivery.I will be watching.

Simply beautiful. The zebra analogy to me, is Joker showing batman that nature is cruel, and we should be cruel too. But batman believes in the goodness of humanity, he believes despite how much of an animal man can become, there is something more inside us. I love Batman's struggle with doubt and uncertainty because I deal with that everyday living with existiential OCD, and watching batman rely on his beliefs gives me hope. Thank you. Also, I think the kid would make a great concept for red hood in a future film!

See this Hollywood??! THIS IS HOW YOU DO THE BATMAN!!!

I wish Matt Reeves would consider this actor to play The Batman.

Everybody say it with me... "Sometimes... you just, can't get rid, of a bomb!" There's absolutely nothing about this I didn't love. This ties with The Dark Knight, as the best Batman content I've ever seen. It's riveting form start to finish, and that song...

The fact joker can bite into ice cream shows how insane he is

better than the 90s Batman flicks FOR SURE

Every time i watch this, i always think that Kevin Porter should be cast as adult Bruce Wayne in the Gotham series if they ever plan to show the Birth of Batman.

This deserves more views. Brilliantly done

Bravo! Excellent camera directing, great lighting. Loved the furrowed brow on the cowl. The lower budget really gives it a feeling as if this is what people would be like if they really did dawn costumes and become vigilantes and criminals. The scars were a great touch. Reminds me of the book by Philip Jose Farmer Tarzan Alive. In which the author really tries to convince you that he had an interview with the real Tarzan. "He had more scars on his body than anyone I had ever met."
