Gordon: A Batman Fan Film 

Ok, Gordon! Taking control of Gotham. Making the hard choices for the better of the city. What's harder to live with, revenge or resentment? Love the black & white, sets the tone perfectly and give this it's own character. Favorite moment is when the tide changes and Joker senses he's not the craziest one in the wagon. Great job, all the details and hard work can be seen on screen!

The Joker’s last line was delivered perfectly.

In the part where Joker says "I don't want to die", you can hear the fear in his voice and see the terror in his eyes. Well done.

Mark Meer is absolutely astonishing as the Joker. Wow.

Fantastic. “I don’t want to die.” Pop.

I've never managed to see a batman film that pulls the whole "No killing" thing into an actual perspective without ruining Bruce's characterization. Having Jim play executioner is honestly amazing because it strikes to the core of what makes batman so intresting. Jim isn't a nihilist, he doesn't have the meditations to do it again as far as I see it, and yet he's not absolved. He's committed a nessecary evil, and Bruce will never look at him the same because the "by the book" repor the two have is shattered.

This is two people in the back of a car for ten minutes and it's still one of the best Batman stories ever crafted. Indescribable respect to everyone who was a part of this. Thank you.

That long laugh by Joker at the end and his last line was the most honest and sane Joker has ever been

Jokers last line was haunting

The acting. The script. The cinematography. How does this not have a million views? This feels like something from DC, not a fanmade film. Amazing job.

Whoever the actor is playing the Joker really nailed it on the head

Mark Meer sent me to see this piece of awesomeness.

Mark Meer as The Joker is possibly the best casting choice ever made.

This guy NAILS Joker

I love how we slowly see Joker become more and more serious. He's trying to get under gordon's skin, but for some reason he isn't getting a reaction. He gets annoyed, clearly. Beautiful performances from everyone, and Joker actually looked really unique and creepy.

The idea is badass. Mr.J want his death is done by batman but Jim took it so he doesnt want to die.

Hi, I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite performance of the joker in the citadel.

This was amazing. I don't think I ever pictured Mark Meer as the Joker before, but he nailed it. The expressions and laugh are perfect. And Jonathan D. Williams was terrific as Jim Gordon. The somber expression, the tone of his voice were all so well suited. Bravo and well done.

This is really great. Good job, guys. Gordon deserves more attention as a character.

Script, actors, director, photography, edition.... W O W. CONGRATULATIONS!

Batman’s actor is badass, Gordon’s is massively impressive, Joker’s is comic accurate and horrifying, congrats to the crew and truly thank you for nearing Nolan’s expertise.

3:04 Just that cut to Joker gives me such a _visceral_ reaction. It's like The Man Who Laughs, just "Oooh fu- nOPE! nopenopenopenopeNopeNOOOOPE"

The Batman helmet looked really cool! Also this Joker is so far the closest we got to live action comic accuracy.

Midnight edge brought me here

I love the subtlety of the camera work, and the low key acting by the actor who played Gordon, put against the over-the-top acting (that's a total compliment!!!) by the actor portraying the Joker. Seriously, one of the best fan films since Aaron Schoenke and the cast and crew at Bat in the Sun Productions! Fantastic job to everyone!

The fact this is black and white adds to it, love seeing the stuff from you guys

He will always be Commander Shepard to me, but Mark Meer just nailed it as The Joker! 😳

Mark Meer is so goddamn talented. Love him 💕

My God this was AWESOME! 7:08 this whole part was so heavy. The _whole van talk_ was heavy. I feel like a lot of people can relate to this at some point. It''s sense of dread, the *MUSIC,* the echoing laughter, and the anticlimactic _taking out the trash._ Was all just *chef's kiss* Reminds me of the best DS9 episode _In the Pale Moonligh._ "I CAN live with it."

I am a cinema student from spain and seeing this work highly inspired me, the use of the light with the black and white is impressive and you can feel the quality in all the aspects from acting to composition, great work and i do hope you achieve your dreams bro

Always understood that batman has his code and what not, but Gordon, he’s a cop. He pretty much guaranteed he’s willing to take a life in the right situation just by taking the job. Always figured the end of Joker’s story would come down to something like this…

This was great. Loved it - the writing was great for the piece. Mark as Joker - any day!

It's like Sin City meets The Batman meets Joker. Great pacing, sound design, editing, framing and writing. I have my gripes (costume, some of the acting) but then I remind myself that this is a fan film and those small issues are more than forgiven. This has a cinematic quality rarely seen in fan films, at least for me. Well done, guys. Seriously.

The Guy who plays joker give him an Oscar now

One of the greatest noir short film I've seen on this platform. Also one of the greatest Batman short films as well. Very underrated

Okay besides the amazing acting, cinematography, lighting, black and white aesthetic is anyone gonna talk about how amazing the Bat cowl? Like its one of the best and I'm assuming its on a budget too so really impressive with the cowl.

*SPOILER ALERT* The decision to cut the music, pull back to a wide shot with a distant gun shot sound was fantastic.

Joker to Harley: Report to the ship ASAP, we'll bang, ok?

Incredible job. Beware the fury of a patient man.

These are the stories Batman needs to mature as a character. 100% Cinema :)

The long-distance view of the killing. The muffled pop. The inglorious end. Perfect.

One of the best super hero live actions I’ve ever watched!

Jonathan D. Williams is truly the STAR of this film! His performance was absolutely terrific! GREAT job!

Im pretty floored by this. You managed to do something rare, which is make a fresh, and interesting fan film involving the Joker. Most Joker-centric fan films involve Joker extensively monologuing at a victim strapped to a chair. It was nice to see something a little more based in reality, rather than high-minded pseudo philosophy about duality, or his relationship with Batman. I love the Noir aesthetic- kind of Sin City. I'd love to see more with this cast and director.

O.K., I've watched this now for like the 5th time. This is without a doubt the best "fan film" I have ever seen.

I didn't expect a non star wars film, but this is excellent. The cinematography has improved past great. We'll look forward to your career with great interest.

This thing blew me away! I watched it 4x in a row, picking up on all of the subtleties in acting, writing and camera work. This was like a grittier, alternate version of the animated cartoon brought to life! You can tell there's so much love in this! Bravo! PLEASE crowd fund more! You'll have my support!

I love the noir aspect of the world of Batman. I find it somewhat provocative to see Gordon walk down a dark path. The "chess match" between Joker and Gordon was very well done.

Although I can see most members of the Bat-Family being deep down glad that the Joker has died, but Bruce’s dynamic with Jim will never be the same. Someone Bruce respected enough to do the right thing technically did do the right thing for the betterment of everyone in Gotham… But not through the name of the law that the two mutually agreed on when they started working together… Now, Bruce can no longer look at Gordon the same way because that mutual agreement is no longer valid because of the “necessary evil” that Jim committed.

Simply outstanding mark killed it as joker the whole team did amazing job

This ... this is how any Batman film should be done. Not only produced this way but I could watch a full TV series like this.

Honestly one of the best Batman Fan films I've ever seen. I love everything about this. You guys did absolutely amazing work on this.

Jonathan D Williams as Gordon is incredible! Amazing job by both leads.

This was far better than I was expecting. Written by someone who really knows the characters. That scene in the forest really reminds me of the end of the Killing Joke. Good choice.

4:18 When Joker said the driver was making a wrong turn, that’s when I knew he was screwed.

The joker dosent like it when you laugh back

this joker is like a blend of btas mark hamill joker, heath ledger joker, pennywise, and art the clown from the terrifier

This is amazing. Joker is actually morbidly funny holy shit this is amazing.

Oh. My. God. That was…better than anything I anticipated. I appreciate the bold choices, as well as the exposition, through the dialogue from the Joker in the truck, and Batman nonchalantly removing his mask in front of Gordon. I appreciate the combination of black and white with the mixed designs, where you made the Joker’s look a good mix (his long straight hair and straight jacket reminded me of Jared Leto at the end of the Snyder Cut) not to mention his eyes. I also liked how you gave Batman the smoky eye make-up, presumably inspired by “The Batman”. I can’t do enough justice to what you did, but this…this is the kind of bold and well-done fan work I appreciate.

Wow! This was fantastic. Mark Meer was wonderful!! Great job guys!! 👏

Well done You may think about entering the Directors Choice Fan Film awards. A batman film won last year.

ok....this is an amaaaaaaaaazing take on the joker. creepy as hell and the laugh is perfect

Well…This was completely and utterly awesome.

now your name means pure high end quality. and to me you claimed the crown of the best filmmakers on youtube. i love every aspect of your projects, it's so damn brilliant. and that's all i have to say. huge thanks and please never stop.

The Joker is truly haunting

Now THAT'S how you make a Batman movie. I hope this could be extended into the next phase with the raid and build on it allowing each character to take the lead for their segment. Well done! Gripping stuff.

Commander Shepard: "It's Jokin' time!"

This joker is creepy yet amusing….exactly what we NEED

Absolutely incredible acting as the Joker. This should be the standard for future Jokers; wish they would cast him for the next Batman movie. Much respect to this actor.

Fantastic. And Mark Meer is an incredible Joker. Nicely done, guys.

Really good would like to see more of this noir story

Good short movie, thats what I call realistic storytelling

Mark Meer was sensational

This Joker performance is actually terrifying, he's right up there with Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix. I would want to watch a movie with him, also the Batman shown seemed ruthless and almost like an attack dog for Gordon. Really good. And Gordon himself incredible as well.

This was the best performance i have ever seen on a fan flim you have a new subscriber

Holy shit!!! We need to see Mark Meer and Jonathan D.Williams as Joker and Gordon again in more fan films... a Killing Joke fan film maybe... a prequel to this one, just to see how Gordon was tortured and broken by him...

I heard them mention the project at Midnight´s Edge and I had to come watch, Incredible performance by Mark Meer, congrats to the whole team.

Woah!!! I'm blown away!! Mark Meer is amazing! But I loved every second! Wonder writing and acting!!!

I'm on a fan film binge, and this my friend is a work of art. Excellent camera work, great lighting and effects, a stellar cast. That has to be top 3 Jokers of all time. Thanx for a great watch.

Man, awesome! The set design goes crazy, especially the rooftop scene 🔥

I love mark meer, my favourite voice actor and one of my favourite people in general, seems like such a fun individual to be around. His performance as the joker in this deserves more attention.

Wow that was very awesome better than I expected this deserves more views loved it.

Holy shit, that was like TDK writing at it’s peak like words can not express how good that was I hope you make more movies like this because I really liked it!

Everyone is perfectly casted. The cinematography The Score. All perfect! This is the best live action James Gordon i've ever seen. Please do a sequel. I really wanna see Gordon break The Bat signal and go full purge on the city against the criminals. As Batman and The Bat family try to get thru to him.

Johnathan Williams and Mark Meer absolutely killed it. Just like everyone else who helped make this, this was great

Bruce looks like a young Michael Keaton 😳

Everytime it focused on Joker it's pretty unsettling because of those creepy eyes. And as if Joker and Gordon's performances weren't good enough for me to hold this together the black and white really added something. I was genuinely shocked by the ending though after what he did to Gordon and disabling Barbara I totally get why he would kill him. By the way I liked that final line "you know it's funny... I don't wanna die." This was honestly very great.

more please ! loved this. just gordon and his feelings. love the end as well as the final words of joker coming out as he realizes all the bullshit is over. batman isnt handling things, no more arkham. put joker away like old yeller. loved as well gordons words w batman at the end. gordon is pretty much dead inside im gathering which is why he had no issues taking joker out how he did. this is what needed to be seen as a fan film in my view. fucking lvoed it as well as your star wars films too. keep em coming!

9:33 God, How he snuffs out that cig is COLD. It's SO GOOD!

I like how the Joker was wrapped up in taunting Gordon that he didn't get the Joke was on him until the end even though he saw all the same clues we did along the way.

"I used to be a beat Cop...." - Mike Ehrmantraut

This universe is fascinating! A Gordon that doesn’t care to the point of killing, and a Batman who doesn't only trust Gordon with his identity, but is also conflicted on his morality if he's doing what is right or wrong. Not to mention how great joker is. What an awesome fan film👍🏽

That was excellent. Hats off to Mark Meer

Acting, cinematography, dialogue, it’s perfect.

Beautiful! Thank you very much!

Well done Patrick Logan. Can't wait to see what you do next. And Mark Meer, beautiful. Along with the rest of the cast and crew- well done. I quite enjoyed that.

I'm the Joker, and this my favourite movie on the Citadel!

Holy shit, this stunned me. My favorite shot is 3:33, how many expressions Joker went through in such a short amount of time. My gosh, this was like Mark Hamill's Joker in live action, unironically. The dialogue too! (I would've prefered he had short hair and more makeup, but regardless, this performance is genuinely gonna be stuck in my head for a while now. "Where are we *going* Gordon...") Gordon was impeccable as well. He won me over as soon as the zoom in at 1:25. I love his laugh surprising Joker, and dude...him showing Joker the box of bullets after pouring out far too much personal information and throwing his words back at him... Wow. I saw what was coming just a moment before I was supposed to lol. And what surprisingly sobering last words for Joker too. What a chilling last *word* from Gordon! I'll even shoutout Batman! He had great body movement in the suit, the suit itself looked GREAT (like the Arkham Knight suit specifically), and I like the hair push after taking off the cowl. Made him feel like a younger Bruce to me, a bit like Robert Pattinson's, which is a huge compliment in my book. Everyone who helped work on this did fucking great. So nice to see Batman fans so passionate like this. Amazing, impeccable, and fantastic! 👏👏

This is by far the best Batman fan-film I've ever seen! The production quality! The acting! The twist! I loved every second! Fan-frickin-tastic, man

Damn, it’s perfect
