Hey guys! Just so you know, I now have a Kofi page! If you loved Batman: Broken Promise and want to support any future animations then you can buy me a coffee! 🦇🪙🔥 Here's the link - ko-fi.com/stephentrumbleanimation
It's how Batman addressed Arnold and Scarface individually, and how he stopped fighting once he knew the coin landed on his safety. His understanding of the villains he faces is his true strength that makes him different from any other wannabe vigilante
You can tell Batman not only respects the strength of his enemies, he treats them like people. The compassion he shows Arnold while showing disregard and disgust to Scarface, and the desire to help his old friend in Harvey while keeping the coin away in their fight shows how he wants to win the right way.
He's also incredibly passionate and empathetic, understands their trauma and psychiatric need for help. He never kills or insults them for their condition, but instead honest seriousness
Exceptional fight scene. THIS is how Batman should be portrayed fighting: disappearing into the shadows and reappearing, striking with brutal and swift hits, moving as though he isn’t human. The less the audience sees, the greater the impact.
And the fact that Batman doesn't just use stealth or brute force when he fights; he's clever, redirecting a blade into the bat symbol on his armour where it's thickest, and using the Batmobile to block bullets whilst providing cover.
If there's one way I've seen Batman fight that I like more than the Arkham system, it's the way he fights here. Slipping into the darkness, baiting enemies into shooting at nothing to distract themselves, using the Batmobile as a makeshift barricade to separate the grunts, the choreography (and everything else) in this animation is absolutely stellar. Plus, the voice actor for Dent balancing on insanity, switching between calm and reserved and batshit insane is incredible, his unwillingness to let the cards fall without the Coin, knocking around his own men. Great understanding of every character here. Tens across the board, and a shining example of what every person who writes Batman should try to replicate.
I too liked the choreographed fight, one thing I think that would be sooo realistic ( like that how I would try to beat the ods) is for batman to drop small speakers before / during fight, now THAT o think would actually work in both stealth mode, like getting people really confuse by batman speaking from all directions, adding creepy laugh and sounds and drawing attention from set ups and movements. Combine that with some kind of gas or mist and the confusion is real. Even if they do find the equipment, the time and attention needed to investigate would be fatal. Another move I miss to se actually comes from kick as. I absolutely loved how big daddy used the electro light to confuse and momentarily blind he's opponents, that too would be such a believable and yet easy move to pull off for the dark night. After all we do all wanna belive that he could be real and things like that I think really ads to the credibility
That is the trap, is it not. It is a lot easier to write 15 minutes than 90. Now with that said this is still excellent writing. And for a one man studio the animation is really good.
@@OdaKa cus directly stealing it would be effortless. Also SNL does usually 10 sketches on a weekly basis. When you're putting out that number of work in a season, it's hard to believe that you'd be able to write everything.
Dent: "Give me liberty or give me death" *Coin lands on heads with the word Liberty written on it* Dent: No compromises, proceeds to lower gun. This right here is epic writing!!!
@@danielcabrera3707 Kevin Conroy passed away this year, the voice of Batman from the original Batman: The Animated Series and the Arkham Games, rightfully hailed as the ultimate voice of the Bat. This humble fan-film pays tribute to the animated series’s and by association Kevin 🦇
@@stephentrumbleanimation2579 thank you . at first i think in the animator from the film , yeah its sad kevin pass away. its amazing this animation i really hope more for coming sorry english.
No, Batman knew the coin flipped on that side so he wouldn't kill him.
Місяць тому+4
@@melonmusk8924 Your right, but then he would die if Harvey choose to ignore the coin. So either way batman views it as a win-win. because he already knew Arnold was free, and Harvey killing him would also free Harvey from the coin. 2 for 1. This IS Batman.
That fight with Two-Face is incredible. The growls of rage, Two-Face & Harvey playing offense and defense respectfully. Two-Face has always been a competent hand to hand fighter with pure rage in him it's wonderful to watch unfold.
@@fame12342 yeah and it's mid to great but every franchise has it's mid point plus to say it's lost what made it good is too ignore shit like Wakanda Forever, What if, Loki, Moon Knight and No way home which feels like ducking your head in the sand.
The "man on the inside" scene had me droping my jaw harder than the puppet. This is incredibly well written, designed and animated, from the use of light, shadow and color, to the positioning and angles of characters during fights to give significance to their intention. Batman´s stealth tactics, combat strategies and understanding of his enemies is shown to absolute perfection. And this is fan made. Dear god, We need fans like this people working with a proffesional level budget.
thanks for writing all that so i wouldn't have to. i get now why enemies like harvey dent would pose a challenge in hand to hand combat to batman. because we need fight scenes like that one, jessus christ. that was mindblowing. just incredible
I love how in the fight with Two-Face. The Two-Face side does most if not all of the attacking while the Harvey side does the defending. Very nice touch.
This animation just goes to ahow how a great of villain two face can be, with right tone, motivation and atmosphere his presence can match that of even the joker
To be fair, almost every batman villain has a good anchor for great story telling, which is why Batman has the best rogues gallery around (i say even though Batman isnt even one of my fave heroes)
@@leojones1964 Exactly, the concept of all of them are excellent, even the less famous ones, or the ones that fans like to make fun of, Batman just doesn't have a bad villain, he has bad writers. If DC wanted to, every arc of Batman comics they could tell a different story of a villain, and even in 10 years they would still have interesting villains showing up, but instead we have the same 3 or 4 Batman villains escaping from Arkham every week without any explanation.
I agree and I think they depicted Scarface and Ventriloquist really well. The "man on the inside" bit was such A+ writing too. Two-Face's use of the coin and him being locked into whatever the coin demands was perfect. Ventriloquist as well was great and in a way actually killed his own mental illness by shooting Scarface.
I adore how much you paid attention to the things that make batman such a unique hero. So many times he ends up be written as a man who finds crime and punches it until it doesn't get back up, but here he acts in a way that conveys his character so much better. He keeps to the shadows when necessary, he uses reason and tries to diffuse situations with words first, he doesn't inflict any brutal 10 years in the hospital kind of violence. Hes a man who truly knows his ideals, and keeps to them in all aspects of his talk, movement, and combat. The animation is mind blowing, but its the character work that I'm going be be thinking about long after this.
I know everyone's talking about Dent (which yes, this is an incredible iteration) but oh my lord, Scarface is great here too. A whole Batman narrative centered around him as the villain in this style would be an instant classic.
Ventriloquist/Scarface is indeed a great character, his episode in *Gotham* season 5 ("Nothing's Shocking") is one of my favorites from that last season... If you want to see a live-action Scarface, for now it's the only one, except from a couple of very brief cameos in the show *Titans* . Anyway, in *Gotham* the Ventriloquist is played by the great Andrew Sellon, a real-life ventriloquist who was later made an honorary member of the International Ventriloquist Society for his work on the show. *Gotham* really is a great watch if you're a hardcore Batman enthusiast, and especially if you're a fan of his rogues gallery... between Cameron Monaghan's "Joker", Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin, Cory Michael Smith's Riddler, Alexander Siddig's Ra's al Ghul, Anthony Carrigan's Victor Zsasz, Camren Bicondova's Selina Kyle... There's just so much talent in there, that it's a shame that this show doesn't get as a much credit as other live action DC shows...
I know this is going to sound stupid as hell, but this is *art.* There are tributes, and passion projects, and so many attempts at telling a story that come up short. This right here is just... it's art. It's Batman in his purest and truest form. It's an impressive contemporary styling of TWO different villains. Excellent fight choreography, a brilliant short story, nice voice work, and, of course, gorgeous art. It's Batman. THIS is Batman.
It's a great choice of villains for all the parallels. Both men suffer split personalities, but the split manifests in totally different ways. There's also the scarring as a theme as well.
i adore this, two face is my favorite batman villain and the ventriloquist is up there too. i just love the portrayal of dent here, every shot is just perfect...sometimes he looks so human, like when he struggles to bring his eyes up to batman's after his coin lands, and sometimes he looks like a complete monster like when the batmobile almost crashes into him. and then batman is just too awesome in this too, i love at the end when he flips that pin, the implication that he just carries it on him, bc he still believes that there's hope for harvey. and someone else already pointed out that he uses only uses as much force as he needs to in order to dispatch enemies, nothing extra. this is just so perfectly done and now i have an itch for a new batman animated series in this style
I absolutely loved batmans utilization of his gadgets, equipping a magnet on his gauntlet to disorient two face, using the batmobile for cover and support, and the batarangs to put the fight on his terms, the level of understanding of the character in this is out of this world
Not just that but I can't get over how he uses his cape to discombobulate one of the goons before striking. It happened so sudden and swiftly it was like he was throwing a blanket infront of them.
So you just gon drop the best Batman content the world has ever seen just like that out of the blue?? Aight cool. I'm here for all you got. Patiently...
Easily the best representation of Harvey I've ever seen and the very effective use of a largely obscure yet very interesting and complicated character like Wesker was an absolute stroke of genius!

This is incredible, is way too good, it could be a series from Warner Everything is amazing, the voices, music, foreshadow, animation, the fights, everything :D
@@jeremyvotaw1522 Mr. J does get around. There's so many brilliant rogues to choose from, and most of them a very rarely fully explored. Thanks so much!
13:01 can I just point out something that I love about this particular part? As the coin is spinning on the floor and Two Face is fighting Batman, we only see the red part of his body, his evil side, but as soon as we hear the coin stop spinning (meaning it has landed on heads), the camera immediately pans around to his human blue side and he spares Batman. SO COOL!!!
As tired as I am of grounded Batman stories, I *LOVE* this take on Harvey. He's like the Dark Knight and Long Halloween versions with punishing those on both sides of the law rather than a gangster obsessed with duality. Also that voice constantly switching between Harvey and Two-Face is just brilliant.
One of the best Batman I've ever seen oh my god when Batman jumped off the building that was awesome but the Gun Fu between Harvey and Batman that was awesome😊 everything about your character design the color pallets is great there should be one of the official DC animated movies you more than game with run for their money I may want to best Batman movies ever too bad I can't get an action figure of Harvey or Batman gun laws color palettes that'll be great for the collection thank you so much for this and making my day and the Share and have rewatch this cuz I did we watch a few times just to pawn my first viewing of it cuz I was amazed how awesome Batman and this movie is thank you so much
I love this take on Harvey Dent. This pseudo-patriotic, form of demented justice. It makes his character more interesting and make more sense. You can see the person he was before and how twisted he has become. His ideals dictated what form of villainy he engaged in. It is way better than making two-face just a crazy person or generic mob boss.
Yeah, I love when they avoid the split personality concept because in a way it makes Harvey just another innocent victim of his evil alter ego. In this form, it's all Harvey's fault. You can pity him, you can understand him he'll in certain scenarios you may even support him up to a point. But still every citizen gunned down in a bank, every cop squished under a car. All of the people that get hurt because of his twisted sense of morality are his fault and that guilt feeds back into the loop.
I love the choreography where Batman and Dent are up close disarming and rearming each other. This was very, VERY nicely done. My favorite line has to be, "Everyone tries to fight the war on drugs. No one tries to win."
HO LY SHIT. THIS IS AMAZING. YOU ARE AMAZING. like. there's no details spared. every single second mattered. be it to tell the story, fill in the gaps, or set the ambience. fans are amazing and many times come up with even better stuff than the source material and you're the prime example of that. holy shit. first off, the writing. its not just the many amazing quotes you've written in. Its the way they convey their personalities so well. To batman(sincere, resigned, hopeful) , scarface(the puppet, in control. Who is the master here?), but ESPECIALLY to two face and what was once Harvey dent. The pursuit of justice, in a way he rationalises as fair that actually makes sense(as someone involved in the justice system believe me I get where he's coming from) despite its flawed premise, how he sticks to his ideals and his obsession with pairs, halves and justice in a way that isn't tacky but understandable in his fractured mind??? wow. just. chefs kiss. Then we have the animation. wow. the character design is amazing first off. it conveys the characters well and it sets them up perfectly for the story you want to tell. comics play on this as well but there's just something about conveying it in animation that gives it another layer neither the movies or comics have reached. you can see when its two-face and when its, well, still two-face but more Harvey than two-face in control. Your design of Arnold and scarface was superb too. I couldn't really make out Batmans design that well but thats the whole POINT and you proved it wondrously. And the choreography??? its one thing to animate but to animate an ACTION SEQUENCE??? AND HAVE IT BE GOOD???? how the hell do you do it man. how they fight, how the bullets and flashes of light illuminated different parts of the room and how batman leaned into the shadows and blended into his surroundings while maintaining calm and, despite the violence, his benevolence was just- chefs kiss. This is the ultimate love letter of a fan to a beloved story and character. This is amazing, you are amazing. I wish you the best.
One of the smartest things in this is how you represent scar face, and everything he does is clearly physically controlled by Arnold, he’s not some magical entity. But he is still completely real in the sense that he is a real personality with unique motivations that exists inside Arnold’s brain. And how ,psychologically, Arnold has to literally k’ll the puppet to be free of his control, he views it like a real person and can’t just stop the act. He has to orchestrate an authentic scenario to believably terminate the doll, or he wont accept it mentally.
“That coin isn’t a freedom from choice it’s a surrender.” That’s one of the best lines about two face I’ve ever heard. I came here from TikTok with high expectations due to what everyone was saying and man I was not disappointed! Great work man, seriously.
This is how Batman stories should be!! This is by far some of the best dialogue and realistic interactions, fight scenes and downright grittiness of Gotham. Shouts out to you for giving us this true work of Batman.
Congratulation to all the creators, but especially to Claire Wickes for an amazing musical score which followed very accurately the intensity and the emotions of the movie.
This feels like an instant classic. The fact that this is a fan written original blows my mind considering how accurately it characterizes Two-Face and Batman. Two-Face's entire scheme is absolutely beautifully written and makes so much sense for his character. "If I can't control the crime, I'll control the punishment" is so painfully and fantastically in character for Harvey Dent I almost refuse to believe this wasn't written by a team of professional writers. You can so clearly see that despite doing what he genuinely believes to be the right thing to do, Harvey is absolutely insane. Batman's rogues are always at their best when their anguish and mental illness is on full display, and Batman tries to help them and reason with them anyways. Batman is always trying to save the day and the innocent people who would be affected by the villains' schemes, but even more so Batman is a character that tries to save his villains from themselves and I feel like no character represents this better than Two-Face. The inclusion of The Ventriloquist only furthers this theme. Thank you for this beautiful piece of art.
Batman tries so hard to save his mentally ill rogues, because he himself battles with mental challenges everyday. In his mind, he is TRULY BATMAN. Bruce Wayne is mask that he puts on to face the world. Everyday he has to live a life where he hides who he truly is so that he can go out and fight monsters. Every criminal he fights he has to FIGHT HIMSELF to resist the urge to kill, even just once. He emphathizes with them, because he walks that very fine line everyday. If he was a weaker man, he would've crossed it a long time ago.
This will be someone’s first introduction to these characters, and they will remember and cherish this short film for the rest of their life. And that’s really cool.
Two-Face is my absolute favorite villian and he is depicted so damn well here man, fantastic job! Great animation and great writing! One thing that is never shown too often is how brutal of a combatant in a fight Harvey is, a straight up brawler filled with rage that can throw Batman around. Really wish other Films and animations would pull from this because he can be such a unit in the comics against batman both physically and mentally.
I love this version of Batman where he clearly has a deep knowledge of his enemies psyche and even some intimacy (probably because he's done this dozens of times) and tries to talk the "big bosses" down before going all out. I think this happens because he's more mature and understands that punching everybody in the mouth at first sight doesn't really fix the problem permanently. He can either kill them or try to change them, and Batman being Batman, he chose the second option. I also love how he's so confident in his own abilities, but not in a cocky or arrogant way (maybe a little). He exposes himself, but he knows he can just disappear in the shadows if he wants to and people won't be able to keep up. This is amazing. Thanks for this.
There are so many moments in this that are just ...splendid. The play with light and shadow, Harvey's voice, the moment with the thug firing blindly into the dark and Bats just standing behind a pillar, waiting. Easily the best Batmobile I"ve ever seen. The writing is spectacular and the art style is incredibly interesting. Wow. just wow.
Damn, it's only every once in a while a you stumble on a new creative project and are just completely blown away. I don't have the knowledge or skills to appreciate just how much time, effort and vision this took you to put together Stephen, but I know it must have taken years. Thanks for making this; it's amazing and inspiring! I can't wait to see your channel blow up, and like a typical, insatiable UA-cam viewer, I'm already hyped for what you do next!
O Golly Gee, It's the man that makes shortened videos about the hit tabletop rpg: Dungeons and Dragons, didn't expect to see you here But anyways, agreed, this is a completely awesome video and I'm subscribing right this moment
I’ve watched this several times and given praise each time, but I have to come back again and say SOMEBODY has to pick this up as a series. NOTHING has even TOUCHED this level of art- from the literal art and animation, the costume design and architecture of the buildings, and my personal favorite: the way the animation tricks you into believing there are actual cameras, the lens flares and movements, shift focus. I’m telling everyone- THIS. IS. A. MASTERPIECE 🙌 I can give no higher praise. Please, keep this up.
One small detail that I love is that, in the hallway fight with Scarface’s goons, Batman doesn’t just somehow dodge point blank gunfire. He uses the darkness and the goon’s fear to make sure they are just never shooting where he is
I started to hate batman because his comics seems to rotate around just joker, putting him back in arkham, him breaking out of it killing more innocents, it felt like the writers have no clue how to end it or write something new. But you sir have created gold standard in writing the story, how in pursuite of justice people lose themselves. Thank god I found this
Thank you all SO SO MUCH for the amazing comments - can't tell you how much it means, considering that this film was made on Steve's laptop in our little flat, with me scoring in the other room! This was by the fans for the fans 💛🦇
The voice change and camera-directory in Two-Face just comes to show the attention to detail this animated fan-film holds and really is a masterpiece that even WB has struggled to achieve.
This is perfect. From the patriotic take on Harvey and the very powerful themes. And then there's the combat. No stupid inhuman feats of strength or speed, Actual armor being used, the batmobile utility, the realistic gunplay, actually using the cape for combat. Absolutely amazing. Only critique is that I need more.
And yet, despite the lack of any kind of ridiculous speed or strength, the fight against Scarface's men still shows off Batman's wraithlike ability to pop in and out of the shadows. I love that they got both those things in there.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Honestly, I hold radicals of most/all kinds in contempt. So, yeah, having Harvey been "an enlightened centrist" (who saw through the rhetoric and political bs and was genuinely trying to make Gotham a better place for everyone) makes me feel sorrier, because when Gotham lost him, they lost one of their true heroes.
I love everything about this. The art style and animation is refreshing and memorable without being fancy or expensive, Batman is stealthy and has gadgets that aren’t usually used, the fight scenes are great, and this is the best interpretation I’ve seen of Two-face, you’ve given him symbolism and a real purpose. Whatever’s next, I’m here for it. This is great work.
THE BEST Two-Face ever put to film or animation. The way the actor morphs from Harvey Dent to "Big Bad Harv" mid sentence is such a killer little detail that REALLY sells the character and makes him feel real and tragic. So well done.
BRO I'M 20 SECONDS IN and nothing has been said except "This city has been polarized" and the flinch on his face as he stares at the camera, I knew it was Harvey. That's good animation. Facial storytelling.
What an absolutely pure work of fan admiration. I loved every second of it. Every animation, every little detail, the color, the style, the sound design, the voice acting. It was all perfect. The story was just phenomenal, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it other than I wish this was a show or storyline adapted to live action or otherwise. This is a perfect depiction. I saw somewhere in these comments that the man himself would be proud to voice it and I think he'd be proud of it as a whole and do it for free. I can hear is voice in it. It's phenomenal. What a genius piece of fan work. Thank you for that! 15mins I'm glad to have spent here. Subbed.
harvey denta voice actor gave an amazing performance and obviously had brilliant direction to switch up his voice depending on the dominant aspect of his personality. really clever stuff.
This feels like stylized cutscenes to a really good video games. Like the infamous cutscenes or games that look even better. I would instantly watch a full movie with this quality of writing and animation. This is awesome man keep up the great work
5:08 this fight sequence is a perfect amalgamation of how HORRIFYING batman would be to your average goon, the swiping of the strip light on the right side of the screen then appearing on the total opposite side is utter nightmare fuel, i'm LOVING IT!!
@@abominableyeti5639 That's the sad thing about Ventriloquist. Scarface and him are effectively separate entities. I think it's a Holdover when Scarface Puppet was a Cursed object in Ventriloquist early outings.
This is genuinely better than a lot of the stuff that has come out of the DCU recently. The animation, story, voice acting, all of it comes together amazingly. Really goes to show what putting true passion into a piece can do as opposed to making something for profit.
You can really hear the desperation in Harvey's voice as he's fighting Batman, justifying everything he's trying to do!!! I wanted to cry for how much I felt for him! You can actually feel him loosing his sanity!!!
Damn this is beyond any normal fan film I’ve ever seen. This is my favorite adaptation of Two Face’s character, the former good politician turned gangster still trying to make things right in his own twisted way is so interesting. This was amazing, and if It was an animated series I’d watch the hell out of it.
10:51 that guitar harmonic note did something to me, this is fantastic work in every way! Let me know if you need any help with future projects I'd love to be a part of it!
This was probably the absolute best depiction of Harvey dent I’ve seen. Literally exactly what Harvey should be. And seeing Scarface taken seriously is absolutely amazing, please tell all the voice actors just how good of a job they did, it’s truly fantastic.
I'm assuming from the credits name that the animator's brother or father voiced Two-Face while the animator himself voiced Scarface. I always like seeing Batman's lesser known villains getting some attention like Ventriloquist, Calendar Man, Copperhead, Hush, Clayface, Solomon Grundy, Victor Zsasz, KGBeast, or even someone like Maxie Zeus, even though I'm not a big fan of his character I do find him interesting since he sees many of Batman's other villains as Greek gods like Two-Face being the trickster god, Poison Ivy being the goddess of the harvest, etc.
One of the greatest Batman films ever made. Loved the use of colour. Man, you should be directing features. Incredible music too. Brian Vaughn is THE BATMAN.

So dope. This is what it's all about.
How the hell can you claim this isn't affiliated with DC comics? It totally is.
That was fekin brilliant! Wan lv
It's how Batman addressed Arnold and Scarface individually, and how he stopped fighting once he knew the coin landed on his safety. His understanding of the villains he faces is his true strength that makes him different from any other wannabe vigilante
You can tell Batman not only respects the strength of his enemies, he treats them like people. The compassion he shows Arnold while showing disregard and disgust to Scarface, and the desire to help his old friend in Harvey while keeping the coin away in their fight shows how he wants to win the right way.
He's also incredibly passionate and empathetic, understands their trauma and psychiatric need for help. He never kills or insults them for their condition, but instead honest seriousness
This is what street level comic movies should be like. Seriously impressive film.
Exceptional fight scene. THIS is how Batman should be portrayed fighting: disappearing into the shadows and reappearing, striking with brutal and swift hits, moving as though he isn’t human. The less the audience sees, the greater the impact.
Hell yeah
The use of lighting in the animation really made this so fantastic. Very cleverly used, that first fight scene with the goons shooting out lights, oof
And the fact that Batman doesn't just use stealth or brute force when he fights; he's clever, redirecting a blade into the bat symbol on his armour where it's thickest, and using the Batmobile to block bullets whilst providing cover.
I also love the fake out with the sword
Agreed!
Two-face vs ventriloquist and Scarface. Two split personality themed villains.
How great.
I really just noticed that. It's a really good touch!
“No 1%, no 99%, just a 50% chance... you won’t wake up.”
This is amazing.
Somebody can sleep at night knowing they've created at least one masterpiece in their life.
Well said
Hopefully another
KNIGHTFALL
This is probably the coolest design I’ve ever seen Two Face been given. And some of the best justice done to his character.
I like how his messed-up half looks burned like it was in The Dark Knight
I liked the touch of the UV paint covering his bad side.
If there's one way I've seen Batman fight that I like more than the Arkham system, it's the way he fights here. Slipping into the darkness, baiting enemies into shooting at nothing to distract themselves, using the Batmobile as a makeshift barricade to separate the grunts, the choreography (and everything else) in this animation is absolutely stellar. Plus, the voice actor for Dent balancing on insanity, switching between calm and reserved and batshit insane is incredible, his unwillingness to let the cards fall without the Coin, knocking around his own men. Great understanding of every character here. Tens across the board, and a shining example of what every person who writes Batman should try to replicate.
I too liked the choreographed fight, one thing I think that would be sooo realistic ( like that how I would try to beat the ods) is for batman to drop small speakers before / during fight, now THAT o think would actually work in both stealth mode, like getting people really confuse by batman speaking from all directions, adding creepy laugh and sounds and drawing attention from set ups and movements. Combine that with some kind of gas or mist and the confusion is real. Even if they do find the equipment, the time and attention needed to investigate would be fatal.
Another move I miss to se actually comes from kick as. I absolutely loved how big daddy used the electro light to confuse and momentarily blind he's opponents, that too would be such a believable and yet easy move to pull off for the dark night.
After all we do all wanna belive that he could be real and things like that I think really ads to the credibility
@@Gabriel-mx4qc I like all the ideas except the laughter

1) don't stop writing great stories like this

3) do more.
Those are some great pointers

Very well-done. I tip my hat to you.

God DAMN. Not only is this the best fan animation I've ever seen, but it's a legitimately well-written Two Face story.
Didn't expect to see the Willster up in here
Now imagine if this guy was in charge of a studio at dc … imagine seeing this sort of thing every week on tv
Then the content would not be AS PURE AS THIS.
"No double standards--No half measures!" Man, this has more good writing in 15 minutes than most movies do in 90.
Kevin Conroy would be so proud....
Look at the coin
Seeing the result
"No compromise"
Play by the game , and accept his lose , fair and square
That is the trap, is it not. It is a lot easier to write 15 minutes than 90. Now with that said this is still excellent writing. And for a one man studio the animation is really good.
@@tawesssoabbox But then there's SNL stealing a sketch from Joel Haver and totally butchering it in the same amount of time
@@OdaKa cus directly stealing it would be effortless. Also SNL does usually 10 sketches on a weekly basis. When you're putting out that number of work in a season, it's hard to believe that you'd be able to write everything.

I like how Batman was willing to die if it meant Harvey would be free from the coin. Sadly, He's still a slave to it.
Most likely he wouldn't die from getting shot, his suit is bulletproof.
@Flame4516
Harvey is aiming at his head. Batman's cowl is usually not bulletproof and most of his armor is usually in the chest area.
No, Batman knew the coin flipped on that side so he wouldn't kill him.
@@melonmusk8924 Your right, but then he would die if Harvey choose to ignore the coin. So either way batman views it as a win-win. because he already knew Arnold was free, and Harvey killing him would also free Harvey from the coin. 2 for 1. This IS Batman.
@Flame4516 did you even watch it? He aimed at his mouth....
That fight with Two-Face is incredible. The growls of rage, Two-Face & Harvey playing offense and defense respectfully. Two-Face has always been a competent hand to hand fighter with pure rage in him it's wonderful to watch unfold.
This honestly my opinion is what DC and marvel have both lost...The passion, the heart and the vision of what the characters truly are
Eh they still have it

The "man on the inside" scene had me droping my jaw harder than the puppet. This is incredibly well written, designed and animated, from the use of light, shadow and color, to the positioning and angles of characters during fights to give significance to their intention. Batman´s stealth tactics, combat strategies and understanding of his enemies is shown to absolute perfection.
And this is fan made. Dear god, We need fans like this people working with a proffesional level budget.
thanks for writing all that so i wouldn't have to.
i get now why enemies like harvey dent would pose a challenge in hand to hand combat to batman. because we need fight scenes like that one, jessus christ. that was mindblowing. just incredible
Give the man a budget!
Definitely a Goodfellas reference with the "Oh no".
I love how in the fight with Two-Face. The Two-Face side does most if not all of the attacking while the Harvey side does the defending. Very nice touch.
It's details like that man 😩
Yo I did not catch that. Even freaking better! Whoever this person is, amazing knowledge, fleshing out, and concept.
,Good eye! Oh my god I didn't notice, that's so cool!

@@codedxxx ACTIVES MY POWER
Proof that you don't need hundreds of people working on something to make it good. In fact, it seems like the less the better.
This animation just goes to ahow how a great of villain two face can be, with right tone, motivation and atmosphere his presence can match that of even the joker
Great writting can make anyone interesting
To be fair, almost every batman villain has a good anchor for great story telling, which is why Batman has the best rogues gallery around (i say even though Batman isnt even one of my fave heroes)
@@leojones1964 Exactly, the concept of all of them are excellent, even the less famous ones, or the ones that fans like to make fun of, Batman just doesn't have a bad villain, he has bad writers.
If DC wanted to, every arc of Batman comics they could tell a different story of a villain, and even in 10 years they would still have interesting villains showing up, but instead we have the same 3 or 4 Batman villains escaping from Arkham every week without any explanation.
I agree and I think they depicted Scarface and Ventriloquist really well. The "man on the inside" bit was such A+ writing too. Two-Face's use of the coin and him being locked into whatever the coin demands was perfect. Ventriloquist as well was great and in a way actually killed his own mental illness by shooting Scarface.
The idea that poisoned drugs kill the rich and the poor (not 1% nor 99%, just 50/50) is GENIUS!!!
It's so perfectly flawed. Fitting for a villain
Reminds me of a certain marvel villain….

SICCCK that scene where harvey comes back out from the dark and only his deformed side shows was amazing
I adore how much you paid attention to the things that make batman such a unique hero. So many times he ends up be written as a man who finds crime and punches it until it doesn't get back up, but here he acts in a way that conveys his character so much better. He keeps to the shadows when necessary, he uses reason and tries to diffuse situations with words first, he doesn't inflict any brutal 10 years in the hospital kind of violence. Hes a man who truly knows his ideals, and keeps to them in all aspects of his talk, movement, and combat. The animation is mind blowing, but its the character work that I'm going be be thinking about long after this.

I know everyone's talking about Dent (which yes, this is an incredible iteration) but oh my lord, Scarface is great here too. A whole Batman narrative centered around him as the villain in this style would be an instant classic.
Scarface/Ventriloquist is such a great character, main DC films should make a film with just him as the head villain
@@OlEgSaS32a real classic horror movie theme would be AMAZING with this
Ventriloquist/Scarface is indeed a great character, his episode in *Gotham* season 5 ("Nothing's Shocking") is one of my favorites from that last season...
If you want to see a live-action Scarface, for now it's the only one, except from a couple of very brief cameos in the show *Titans* .
Anyway, in *Gotham* the Ventriloquist is played by the great Andrew Sellon, a real-life ventriloquist who was later made an honorary member of the International Ventriloquist Society for his work on the show.
*Gotham* really is a great watch if you're a hardcore Batman enthusiast, and especially if you're a fan of his rogues gallery... between Cameron Monaghan's "Joker", Robin Lord Taylor's Penguin, Cory Michael Smith's Riddler, Alexander Siddig's Ra's al Ghul, Anthony Carrigan's Victor Zsasz, Camren Bicondova's Selina Kyle...
There's just so much talent in there, that it's a shame that this show doesn't get as a much credit as other live action DC shows...
I know this is going to sound stupid as hell, but this is *art.* There are tributes, and passion projects, and so many attempts at telling a story that come up short. This right here is just... it's art. It's Batman in his purest and truest form. It's an impressive contemporary styling of TWO different villains. Excellent fight choreography, a brilliant short story, nice voice work, and, of course, gorgeous art. It's Batman. THIS is Batman.
I couldn't agree more my friend, it's absolutely fantastic!
For a moment, I forgot I was watching a UA-cam video.
It's a great choice of villains for all the parallels. Both men suffer split personalities, but the split manifests in totally different ways. There's also the scarring as a theme as well.
Outstanding at every level. This puts DC animation to shame
You want one live action as batman broken promise?
Love how you described it. I was wowfully impressed.
i adore this, two face is my favorite batman villain and the ventriloquist is up there too. i just love the portrayal of dent here, every shot is just perfect...sometimes he looks so human, like when he struggles to bring his eyes up to batman's after his coin lands, and sometimes he looks like a complete monster like when the batmobile almost crashes into him. and then batman is just too awesome in this too, i love at the end when he flips that pin, the implication that he just carries it on him, bc he still believes that there's hope for harvey. and someone else already pointed out that he uses only uses as much force as he needs to in order to dispatch enemies, nothing extra. this is just so perfectly done and now i have an itch for a new batman animated series in this style
This is by far one of the best on-screen

I absolutely loved batmans utilization of his gadgets, equipping a magnet on his gauntlet to disorient two face, using the batmobile for cover and support, and the batarangs to put the fight on his terms, the level of understanding of the character in this is out of this world
Not just that but I can't get over how he uses his cape to discombobulate one of the goons before striking. It happened so sudden and swiftly it was like he was throwing a blanket infront of them.

13:01 can I just point out something that I love about this particular part?
As the coin is spinning on the floor and Two Face is fighting Batman, we only see the red part of his body, his evil side, but as soon as we hear the coin stop spinning (meaning it has landed on heads), the camera immediately pans around to his human blue side and he spares Batman. SO COOL!!!
Thank you so much for time stamping my favorite part, how did I not catch that, this video is a mastapiece
this filled a void i wasn’t aware i had
Damn bro.
Bro said this was a fan film and gave us gold in 15mins
As tired as I am of grounded Batman stories, I *LOVE* this take on Harvey. He's like the Dark Knight and Long Halloween versions with punishing those on both sides of the law rather than a gangster obsessed with duality. Also that voice constantly switching between Harvey and Two-Face is just brilliant.
One of the best Batman I've ever seen oh my god when Batman jumped off the building that was awesome but the Gun Fu between Harvey and Batman that was awesome😊 everything about your character design the color pallets is great there should be one of the official DC animated movies you more than game with run for their money I may want to best Batman movies ever too bad I can't get an action figure of Harvey or Batman gun laws color palettes that'll be great for the collection thank you so much for this and making my day and the Share and have rewatch this cuz I did we watch a few times just to pawn my first viewing of it cuz I was amazed how awesome Batman and this movie is thank you so much
I also like that whenever they fight, its focused on the burnt side of two face but when the are talking it focusing on Harvey
I love this take on Harvey Dent. This pseudo-patriotic, form of demented justice. It makes his character more interesting and make more sense. You can see the person he was before and how twisted he has become. His ideals dictated what form of villainy he engaged in. It is way better than making two-face just a crazy person or generic mob boss.
Yeah, I love when they avoid the split personality concept because in a way it makes Harvey just another innocent victim of his evil alter ego. In this form, it's all Harvey's fault. You can pity him, you can understand him he'll in certain scenarios you may even support him up to a point. But still every citizen gunned down in a bank, every cop squished under a car. All of the people that get hurt because of his twisted sense of morality are his fault and that guilt feeds back into the loop.
I love the choreography where Batman and Dent are up close disarming and rearming each other. This was very, VERY nicely done.
My favorite line has to be, "Everyone tries to fight the war on drugs. No one tries to win."
Harvey’s speech is truly something. His journey from hero to villain is sad
Comes out of nowhere
Drops this banger

This did the entire Batman franchise more justice in 15 minutes than Suicide Squad could with an entire game
That's because this was made by a passionate fan and the game was made by people who hate the IP and its fanbase.
HO LY SHIT.
THIS IS AMAZING. YOU ARE AMAZING.
like. there's no details spared. every single second mattered. be it to tell the story, fill in the gaps, or set the ambience. fans are amazing and many times come up with even better stuff than the source material and you're the prime example of that. holy shit.
first off, the writing. its not just the many amazing quotes you've written in. Its the way they convey their personalities so well. To batman(sincere, resigned, hopeful) , scarface(the puppet, in control. Who is the master here?), but ESPECIALLY to two face and what was once Harvey dent. The pursuit of justice, in a way he rationalises as fair that actually makes sense(as someone involved in the justice system believe me I get where he's coming from) despite its flawed premise, how he sticks to his ideals and his obsession with pairs, halves and justice in a way that isn't tacky but understandable in his fractured mind??? wow. just. chefs kiss.
Then we have the animation. wow. the character design is amazing first off. it conveys the characters well and it sets them up perfectly for the story you want to tell. comics play on this as well but there's just something about conveying it in animation that gives it another layer neither the movies or comics have reached. you can see when its two-face and when its, well, still two-face but more Harvey than two-face in control. Your design of Arnold and scarface was superb too. I couldn't really make out Batmans design that well but thats the whole POINT and you proved it wondrously.
And the choreography??? its one thing to animate but to animate an ACTION SEQUENCE??? AND HAVE IT BE GOOD???? how the hell do you do it man. how they fight, how the bullets and flashes of light illuminated different parts of the room and how batman leaned into the shadows and blended into his surroundings while maintaining calm and, despite the violence, his benevolence was just- chefs kiss.
This is the ultimate love letter of a fan to a beloved story and character. This is amazing, you are amazing. I wish you the best.
One of the smartest things in this is how you represent scar face, and everything he does is clearly physically controlled by Arnold, he’s not some magical entity. But he is still completely real in the sense that he is a real personality with unique motivations that exists inside Arnold’s brain. And how ,psychologically, Arnold has to literally k’ll the puppet to be free of his control, he views it like a real person and can’t just stop the act. He has to orchestrate an authentic scenario to believably terminate the doll, or he wont accept it mentally.
“That coin isn’t a freedom from choice it’s a surrender.” That’s one of the best lines about two face I’ve ever heard. I came here from TikTok with high expectations due to what everyone was saying and man I was not disappointed! Great work man, seriously.
Amazing. Much better than anything DC has done in animation in many years.
Thanks so much! 🦇🪙🙏🏻

Congratulation to all the creators, but especially to Claire Wickes for an amazing musical score which followed very accurately the intensity and the emotions of the movie.
Thanks a million 😂 pardon the pun... 😁🙏🙏
The music is good, but honestly it sounds like spiderman rather than batman
This feels like an instant classic. The fact that this is a fan written original blows my mind considering how accurately it characterizes Two-Face and Batman. Two-Face's entire scheme is absolutely beautifully written and makes so much sense for his character. "If I can't control the crime, I'll control the punishment" is so painfully and fantastically in character for Harvey Dent I almost refuse to believe this wasn't written by a team of professional writers.
You can so clearly see that despite doing what he genuinely believes to be the right thing to do, Harvey is absolutely insane. Batman's rogues are always at their best when their anguish and mental illness is on full display, and Batman tries to help them and reason with them anyways. Batman is always trying to save the day and the innocent people who would be affected by the villains' schemes, but even more so Batman is a character that tries to save his villains from themselves and I feel like no character represents this better than Two-Face. The inclusion of The Ventriloquist only furthers this theme.
Thank you for this beautiful piece of art.
Batman tries so hard to save his mentally ill rogues, because he himself battles with mental challenges everyday. In his mind, he is TRULY BATMAN. Bruce Wayne is mask that he puts on to face the world. Everyday he has to live a life where he hides who he truly is so that he can go out and fight monsters. Every criminal he fights he has to FIGHT HIMSELF to resist the urge to kill, even just once.
He emphathizes with them, because he walks that very fine line everyday. If he was a weaker man, he would've crossed it a long time ago.
This will be someone’s first introduction to these characters, and they will remember and cherish this short film for the rest of their life. And that’s really cool.
If that is the case for anyone, it is a good start. Character portrayals were top notch
Two-Face is my absolute favorite villian and he is depicted so damn well here man, fantastic job! Great animation and great writing! One thing that is never shown too often is how brutal of a combatant in a fight Harvey is, a straight up brawler filled with rage that can throw Batman around. Really wish other Films and animations would pull from this because he can be such a unit in the comics against batman both physically and mentally.
Holy sh*** That is THE best Two Face to ever be put on screen - thank you.
A truly charismatic man who the audience respects always keeps their promises, no matter how good or bad their intentions are.
"I got a man on the inside" ☠️
I have no job
I love this version of Batman where he clearly has a deep knowledge of his enemies psyche and even some intimacy (probably because he's done this dozens of times) and tries to talk the "big bosses" down before going all out. I think this happens because he's more mature and understands that punching everybody in the mouth at first sight doesn't really fix the problem permanently. He can either kill them or try to change them, and Batman being Batman, he chose the second option. I also love how he's so confident in his own abilities, but not in a cocky or arrogant way (maybe a little). He exposes himself, but he knows he can just disappear in the shadows if he wants to and people won't be able to keep up.
This is amazing. Thanks for this.
Couldn't have put it better myself. 🙏🦇
Stunning
A detail I loved here is how Batman's cowl muffles the sounds of gunfire. That's a nice treat.
There are so many moments in this that are just ...splendid. The play with light and shadow, Harvey's voice, the moment with the thug firing blindly into the dark and Bats just standing behind a pillar, waiting. Easily the best Batmobile I"ve ever seen. The writing is spectacular and the art style is incredibly interesting. Wow. just wow.
I couldn't agree more.
Damn, it's only every once in a while a you stumble on a new creative project and are just completely blown away.

I’ve watched this several times and given praise each time, but I have to come back again and say SOMEBODY has to pick this up as a series. NOTHING has even TOUCHED this level of art- from the literal art and animation, the costume design and architecture of the buildings, and my personal favorite: the way the animation tricks you into believing there are actual cameras, the lens flares and movements, shift focus. I’m telling everyone- THIS. IS. A. MASTERPIECE 🙌 I can give no higher praise. Please, keep this up.
Yes yes yes! I feel ya' and it's most definitely a masterpiece to behold
One small detail that I love is that, in the hallway fight with Scarface’s goons, Batman doesn’t just somehow dodge point blank gunfire. He uses the darkness and the goon’s fear to make sure they are just never shooting where he is
I started to hate batman because his comics seems to rotate around just joker, putting him back in arkham, him breaking out of it killing more innocents, it felt like the writers have no clue how to end it or write something new. But you sir have created gold standard in writing the story, how in pursuite of justice people lose themselves. Thank god I found this

This is probably the best non-comic representation of Batman I’ve ever seen!
I have always wanted to see Ventriloquist taken seriously. Two-Face also very well performed.
The voice change and camera-directory in Two-Face just comes to show the attention to detail this animated fan-film holds and really is a masterpiece that even WB has struggled to achieve.
The dialogue of Harvey’s is Oscar tier
This is perfect. From the patriotic take on Harvey and the very powerful themes. And then there's the combat. No stupid inhuman feats of strength or speed, Actual armor being used, the batmobile utility, the realistic gunplay, actually using the cape for combat. Absolutely amazing. Only critique is that I need more.
And yet, despite the lack of any kind of ridiculous speed or strength, the fight against Scarface's men still shows off Batman's wraithlike ability to pop in and out of the shadows. I love that they got both those things in there.
Glad they made the enlightened centrist the villain lol
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Would he have been a tragic character if he had been a radical?
@@jamesadamsfl Depends where he leans
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Honestly, I hold radicals of most/all kinds in contempt. So, yeah, having Harvey been "an enlightened centrist" (who saw through the rhetoric and political bs and was genuinely trying to make Gotham a better place for everyone) makes me feel sorrier, because when Gotham lost him, they lost one of their true heroes.
I'm back two years later, and this is still the most INCREDIBLE fan-film I've ever seen.
This is how Batman is suppose to be: Fast, Silent, Prepared, Untouchable, Unbeatable! Well done my friend! Best one yet!
Batman shouldn't be untouchable or unbeatable.
I love everything about this. The art style and animation is refreshing and memorable without being fancy or expensive, Batman is stealthy and has gadgets that aren’t usually used, the fight scenes are great, and this is the best interpretation I’ve seen of Two-face, you’ve given him symbolism and a real purpose.
Whatever’s next, I’m here for it. This is great work.

And of course, He ended it with the TAS rooftop stance. this was incredible!
THE BEST Two-Face ever put to film or animation. The way the actor morphs from Harvey Dent to "Big Bad Harv" mid sentence is such a killer little detail that REALLY sells the character and makes him feel real and tragic. So well done.
BRO I'M 20 SECONDS IN and nothing has been said except "This city has been polarized" and the flinch on his face as he stares at the camera, I knew it was Harvey. That's good animation. Facial storytelling.
What an absolutely pure work of fan admiration. I loved every second of it. Every animation, every little detail, the color, the style, the sound design, the voice acting. It was all perfect. The story was just phenomenal, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it other than I wish this was a show or storyline adapted to live action or otherwise. This is a perfect depiction. I saw somewhere in these comments that the man himself would be proud to voice it and I think he'd be proud of it as a whole and do it for free. I can hear is voice in it. It's phenomenal. What a genius piece of fan work. Thank you for that! 15mins I'm glad to have spent here. Subbed.
harvey denta voice actor gave an amazing performance and obviously had brilliant direction to switch up his voice depending on the dominant aspect of his personality. really clever stuff.

@@abominableyeti5639 That's the sad thing about Ventriloquist. Scarface and him are effectively separate entities.
I think it's a Holdover when Scarface Puppet was a Cursed object in Ventriloquist early outings.
Absolutely AMAZING!!! Some of the best Batman stuff I have seen in years!!!
I was about to tweet you and Gary lol
Awww cheers mate!!! Means a lot!!! 🦇🙏🏻👊🏻
Thanks Az for turning me on to this today on the Real B.B.C. you were right. This was great!
And I had to come watch this too. This was AWESOME. It gave me real BTAS vibes. And yeah, WB/DC should definitely talk to you. Hahaha.
I just saw The Batman yesterday. This has a better story, writing, characters, acting and action.
This is genuinely better than a lot of the stuff that has come out of the DCU recently. The animation, story, voice acting, all of it comes together amazingly. Really goes to show what putting true passion into a piece can do as opposed to making something for profit.
You can really hear the desperation in Harvey's voice as he's fighting Batman, justifying everything he's trying to do!!! I wanted to cry for how much I felt for him! You can actually feel him loosing his sanity!!!
Thanks! We really tried to go deep with Harvey. He's my favourite rogue for that exact reason, his tragedy.
@@davidtrumble305 will there be a park 2 ? Soon ?
@@davidtrumble305 Yourwelcome! I mean it! Everyone need a story like this, beside this boring new movie (2022, The Batman, it sucks)
I animated Joker and Harley Quinn's backstory

Damn this is beyond any normal fan film I’ve ever seen. This is my favorite adaptation of Two Face’s character, the former good politician turned gangster still trying to make things right in his own twisted way is so interesting. This was amazing, and if It was an animated series I’d watch the hell out of it.
We now have Portuguese and Spanish captions!!!!!!!! Thanks so much to everyone who's offered their language skills, and let all your friends know!
Superrrr!!
Obrigado!
Muito obrigado.
When is it going to be a movie
If you need any spanish speaking folk to voice characters i’m willing to help ya out i can sing speak and read spanish i’ll do it free too
10:51 that guitar harmonic note did something to me, this is fantastic work in every way! Let me know if you need any help with future projects I'd love to be a part of it!
i absolutly love the harvey voice.
This was probably the absolute best depiction of Harvey dent I’ve seen. Literally exactly what Harvey should be. And seeing Scarface taken seriously is absolutely amazing, please tell all the voice actors just how good of a job they did, it’s truly fantastic.
I'm assuming from the credits name that the animator's brother or father voiced Two-Face while the animator himself voiced Scarface.
I always like seeing Batman's lesser known villains getting some attention like Ventriloquist, Calendar Man, Copperhead, Hush, Clayface, Solomon Grundy, Victor Zsasz, KGBeast, or even someone like Maxie Zeus, even though I'm not a big fan of his character I do find him interesting since he sees many of Batman's other villains as Greek gods like Two-Face being the trickster god, Poison Ivy being the goddess of the harvest, etc.

My god…I got literal chills on MULITPLE OCCASIONS…this better have a billion views by yesterday or I’m flipping Dents Coin.
The Batman voice is fire among the many exceptional things about this animation piece.
One of the greatest Batman films ever made. Loved the use of colour. Man, you should be directing features. Incredible music too. Brian Vaughn is THE BATMAN.
