"Arkham After Midnight" - a 1920s Dark Knight serial.

submitted by 12583

1 decade 6 years 2 months 4 weeks ago

From the director's youtube page:

Down the rabbithole goes Alice and her darkest, most depressing knight! A new/old retro 1920s silent serial... Based on characters and situations by Bob Kane, Bill Finger, and Jerry Robinson for DC Comics at some point or another.

I'm still having fun with this found footage-soaked, uncommercial concept strictly for educational and sporadically recreational purposes... so time to slice and dice more material in service of a strange story arc of sorts... grown fresh from our beloved Terminal Pictures garden, here then is the first slice: wherein we get big globs of setup concerning Arkham Asylum... madness! surreal delirium! Hallucinations! Screaming lunatics! Obsessive supervillains! That amazing triumph of conceit over technology, the incredible "Bat-Gyro."

CAUTION: Slow down your internal clock and ingest whatever diet supplements and substances required by State and Federal authorities before viewing.

Catch up to all the scratchy handcranked action with the original collage short, "Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man" - young Bruce Wayne suffers in the crucible of his parents' murder and pledges to mop up the streets one weirdo at a time.
