Batman 3 Fan Trailers

Batman 3 Fan Trailers

Just because a sequel to The Dark Knight hasn't been announced, that doesn't mean that fans won't make their own trailers...

Never let the lack of an official film announcement get in the way of a good (or not) trailer. Credit then to the folks behind these eight trailers, each giving their take on Batman 3/Dark Knight 2/Batman 7/whatever you want to call it. Enjoy!

The one common affinity with most these Batman trailers is they assume that The Riddler will be the next villain of choice, obviously a very popular move...but is it the best way to go



Batman 3

Our first is made by mixing footage from Nolan’s Batflicks with some footage of Jim Carrey from Batman Forever, it ain’t bad for a home made production, but the thought of sitting through anything from Schumacher’s first Batfilm would send us happily in the other direction of the cinema.



This one takes a similar approach, but does it better. Keeping its running time to under 30 seconds, it cuts in Carrey voiceover, times it around big explosions, and throws in a welcome Joker cackle at the end.



Batman: The Return Of The Joker

Just when you’re about to write this one off for its "Danger Laughs Back" tagline, it cuts to footage of a man dressed as a surprisingly convincing joker, arguing that should the character return, he’s ready to play him.



Batman: The Riddler’s Revenge

It’s The Riddler again here, with Johnny Depp starring. It’s been put together by panning in and out of still images, and perhaps goes on a little too long, but we really quite liked the ending to this, and the choice of music and timing of the cuts seemed appropriate too.



Batman 3: The Caped Crusader

Here, we’ve got a pair of trailers from the same individual, both of which are titled The Caped Crusader. While the on-screen footage is of the Bat logo, there’s been some effort here to record fresh voiceover, and the effect is really quite good.





Batman: Shadow Of The Bat

Switching between footage from Nolan’s Batman films, Mission Impossible 3 and what looks like Secret Window, this Caped Crusader movie trailer is based around the idea of Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin. And do you know what? The interspersed snippets of footage really work exceptionally well here. Not much Johnny Depp in it, mind, but plenty of Hoffman.



The Dark Knight Returns

Graphics. Check. Voiceover. Check. Cutting in of actors from previous films? Oh yes. Riddler’s question mark flying at you? Okay, we never saw that one coming…

Good fan made trailers overall. I wish I had the time to put one of those together. I think after seeing someone awesomely psychotic and visually appealing as the Joker (many props to Heath Leather for a groundbreaking performance, R.I.P.), I think we need to be thrilled and frightened by a character(s) who are just as chilling and cerebral, but use different methods. Unless, you make the Riddler a serial killer, mass murder (really dark), he can come off too much like the Joker.

I think the best storyline would be to introduce Hush and Deadshot. Hush tries to takeover and destroy Wayne Enterprise, all the while putting Bruce/Batman on the defensive because Hush sells Gotham the idea of using Deadshot(and his group of mercs, one of whom is Bane) to hunt Bats and bring him to justice. Penguin is a scientist/bio-engineer and black marketeer who creates the super soldier serum for Bane.

Batman has to become Ninja supreme, best Deadshot and all of his mercs...except for a juiced up and somewhat insane Bane who breaks Bats' back. Bats assummed dead after thrown from buiding and mask found on the ground.

Bane runs amuck (controlled by Hush). More super soldiers join Hush, Penguin and Bane in taking control of Gotham (Hush's true intentions / colors revealed).

Bruce recuperates. Lucius develops cybernetic/robotic prototype exoskeleton along with ant-super soldier serum bullets to assist Bats with eliminating the threat. (I personally would prefer he used .50cal mini-guns and explosives to kill them, but that is not what Bats is all about). Climax is Bats fighting Deadshot, who damages the exoskeleton before he is defeated...then Bats fights Hush to the death without exoskeleton. Hush discovers Bats true identity before he dies. The title would be...

THE BATMAN

just my thoughts...

crovl- it could also be called batman identity crisis

my idea of a batman3 is with riddler,clayface wll the person that becomes him,penguin,joker,cat women,blackmask,harly quinn well the person thqat becomes her, and scare crow cameo yea i know alot of villians in one movie it could work with a good story

black mask and penguin could be the new mob boss runing town and they at war with each other cause some on been stealing from them (catwomen) and they blaming it on each other. a new decetive joins gordon to stop the war thats going on and robberys. while all thats happening riddler is planing his big plan to take control of gotham from penguin and black mask and leaving clues for batman and the cops.
then in arkum arsylum the joker is tlking to a doctor that becomes harley quinn each time she tlks to joker she starts to fall in love with him. the joker ets told that ome1 will free him but he thinks thats bullshit but it really happens riddler gets him out which is part of his plan and harley goes with joker she has clown make up on. after the joker and harley leave the riddler blows yup part of arkum asylum and the fire makes a question mark.
joker and the iddler meet undeground in riddlers hideout where joker kinda thanxs riddler, the riddler ask joker if he could take care of a new decetive thats getting noisey and he gives him a gun but it only fires clay.at first joker dosent agrees but then he says yes so ppl know that he return. the joker leaves with harley. later on in the movie catwomen and batman have a fight and he also fights black mask and penguin but he loses all three fight(yea i know hes a martial artes but penguin and black mask have alot of men protecting them so they could win easy with all there men thats how batman loses and catwomen she just to slik for batman like always.
we skip to the end batman foils riddler plans but dosent stop joker from turning the decetive into clay face(is going to be something like the cartoon the batman).

title- will be GOTHAM CITY

when i watch these fan trailers i try to picture something that i can see myself watching in a theatre. none of these does that except for the last one. The Dark Knight Returns one. the cutting of existing movies is so dumb. these were all pretty much garbage.

KAOS @ Dude!! Lose that [frick]ing PIC up top of [frick]ing DR WHO!!!!!!!

@Lee personally I don't even want to see the riddler, and I’m not sure Tennant could handle such a large role - though I love that poster, here's a few more from the same artist.





The Harly Quinn is my fave; I really hope they use that character instead of another Joker.

@corndog I’m a fan of Sandy Collora - I have both his fan film up on this very site, World's Finest is up there as one of the all time best trailers, but it's not a sequel to The Dark Knight (since it was done well before) it's for an imagined film unlikely to ever become reality.

@CROVL & flames809 WOW! Waaay too much going on in both those ideas, you both seem to think Batman is about the villains both your films would end up looking something like...

...that!

When dreaming up a Batman 3 idea (btw I don't care what it called only what it's about) the first character you want to expand on is Bruce Wayne.

In my treatment I’d have him travel to Britain due to the growing hunt for Batman in order to think out his next move, with a cover of expanding Wayne Enterprises and well as a home over seas.

While there he discovers the cult group The League of Shadows has expanded since the death of Ra's al Ghul with a new Deamon Head, The Black Mask - with his second in command none other than Talia al Ghul, Ra's daughter.

With strong connections to every major criminal mob, including Gotham’s latest would be controller, Oswald "Penguin" Cobblepot, as well as Black Mask using Hench men wearing different masks and a continued presence of Joker type anarchy despite The Joker locked away in Arkham, plus with reports of a renewed fear among Gothamites Wayne realises he must once again become the dark defender.

KOAS @ Yeah ive seen 'em on google, pretty good posters!

I really think DEADSHOT & DEATHSTROKE hired by different ppl, hunting down the on the run BATS in 3 is a good idea, an have a BLACK MASK in the background.

BATMAN in Britain, could work lol, hey damn i remember the JLE who set up shop in London, ahhhh memories lol.

KAOS @ dude ive just got an idea (Don't laugh lol). : D

Seriously though you should do a POLL, an see who everyones favorite FAN FILMS are, with YouTube vids, it'll be cool!

Yeah i know there a lot of 'em, best get the top quality ones!!

Gonna be a lot of BLINKY though, THE QUEEN was good, plus POWER GIRL and them BLUE & GOLD ones, anyway think about it, it'll be fun!

@ kaos

i know exactly what world's finest is. i'm just saying that hacking and slashing existing movies to look like something else IS NOT a fan trailer. its lazy. world's finest is a REAL fan trailer.

@Lee cool idea man!

Allways glad to hear feedback and ideas, feel free to keep them coming i'm allways trying to think up diffrent ways to keep my site fresh.

I'll think it over, will have to figure out how to create a poll first though.

Not sure the hired guns would work as the major charaters, plus they allready had Deadshot in Batman: Gotham Knight.

@CorndogBurgler Well there not offical trailers, there made by fans - hence fan made trailers!

Sure they might not be as great as say someone who actully goes out and films the scenes, but not everyone has that time or money. Some effort is still put into these and they can produce a really great fan trailer if done right.

CorndogBurglar - 11/17/2009, 2:56 PM
@ kaos

yeah, you're right. the green lantern fan trailer was a hack job too, but it looked good. other than that though, i can't really think of any that make me say, wow, i want to see that! most i just kind of laugh at.
CorndogBurglar
CorndogBurglar - 11/17/2009, 2:59 PM
and i'll say, that harley quinn poster looks awesome! the catwoman one just looks alright, the hand holding the whip looks all freaky elongated.

That last one [above] was awesome. That's just another opinion though.

@Nellb4Zod Great find!

I didn't want the article to get too bogged down with loads of trailers, plus I was hoping others like yourself would post there own personal faves.

The one's I choose don't represent the best trailers on offer but instead are different takes on a similar idea, while maintaining some originality. The idea was to continue the debate on what we want from a Dark Knight sequel.

I'm playing around with the idea of doing my own fan film. And it just MIGHT be a Dark Knight sequel trailer...........................stay tuned if and when I do this I promise mine will be filmed and will be epic!
