  • A new killer has emerged in Gotham City that has a taste for blood and riddles. Two detectives, Renee Montoya and Eric Cohen are tasked with finding this killer before more victims fall prey to his sick game. During their hunt, they come across a familiar vigilante who causes Montoya to question her morals as a police officer. Montoya is faced with the decision of abiding by the law, or breaking it in order to catch this new killer calling himself, The Riddler.

    Well I'll be honest. At first I assumed the quality of the film would be based on the view count. But I was wrong. This is a very good film and I can say is the only fan film of any genre I have seen, that doesn't feel like a fan film. It was shot very well. Good job. I think the story is very good and focusing on characters other than batman actually was really interesting and added a unique and fresh spin on things.

    I have watched dozens of Batman movies and shows, and seen him abscond with crime scene evidence countless times. And yet, I have never once been irritated by it... Until 27:13. The LOOK on Montoya's face says it all, I feel her pure unfiltered frustration lol. I'm just like "wtf Bruce, they needed that"
    This film is like, really amazing! I'm shocked more people haven't seen it. I'm 30 minutes in and I love it. The pacing is really slow and it's all just focussed on Montoya and Cohen, so it could SO easily be boring, but it isn't at ALL. The acting in this is truly impressive. There are parts in the first few minutes where Cohen stutters and pauses, but it sounds SO natural, like how a real human would speak. The actor just roles with it, sooo convincing. And Montoya is phenomenal, I totally understand her distrust of Batman, and her constant apprehension toward people, because she's constantly condescended to. These two are great leads, I'm loving this story. It's highly atmospheric, not a ton of music and the movie feels no obligation to speed from one scene to the next; it just shows us life in Gotham as a cop, and it reels you in because of the amazing acting/writing! And I loved the bit where Eddie Nash revealed his name, and how the music flares up. Like, the film KNOWS we know who "Eddie Nash" is... I'm invested in this, thanks so much for making it and releasing it!

      1:07:44 Best cop reaction to Batman ever, hands down
      WOW, bravo!! I just finished watching and god, the ending is the best part. Riddler is played perfectly, he totally looks the part and his wit and grandiose manner of speech are just SO him. I'm glad we got to see so much of him in the end. And the idea of him being an innocent whistleblower who was framed for murder... Damn, that makes a LOT of sense for him. He's so obsessed with proving himself to people and revealing the "true answer" to things, even through his own twisted means, so this origin honestly explains a lot of his psychology. And when the names spelled out Batman... Daaaamn, that's the coolest thing ever. Even after focussing on Montoya and Cohen the whole movie, Riddler's main aim is STILL Batman. And as for Batman himself; you did him perfectly. Keeping him in the shadows the whole movie worked flawlessly. This is the only movie I've seen where I experience Batman the way the cops and civilians do; as this stealthy, invisible specter whose heroic actions are the only conspicuous thing about him. And I love how we finally got to see him in full view at the end, he looks and sounds amazing. The voice modifier was a great choice, I was NOT expecting him to sound so cool haha. And he looks amazing too, the chin is perfect and the cowl expression is so vengeful haha. I like how the movie isn't about him, so by the time we see Batman, it's awesome, but we're still mainly invested in Montoya and Cohen, who, again, are both great leads. You guys hit this out of the park, this is legit one of the best Batman movies I've ever seen!

Plenty of people have said the opposite of this but others have said the same as you. I've done a ton of research on the topic since this film was released because it did confuse me a bit. I'll continue to learn and grow from these mistakes as I pursue filmmaking and hopefully not make this mistake again.

      I don't believe Montoya was in those movies. They had a female detective named Anna Ramirez that was a supporting character in that movie though. However, I would say she was more misguided/manipulated than a bad cop. She only betrayed Dent and GCPD because her family was in danger or being threatened.
