Before I begin I would like to say that while this video is 5 years old, nothing about this video has been posted about on this site yet. In 2007, Miguel Mesas directed a fan made adaption of Grant Morrison's masterpiece
Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth. The story takes place on April 1st, also known as April Fool’s Day, and the Asylum is taking over by the Joker and other inmates. Throughout the enter day, Joker has been making demands with the police and promises not to kill the hostages if his demands are meant. The Joker has one final demand; for Batman to join him and the rest of the inmates in Arkham. Batman does. The graphic novel also shows the history and background of the infamous Asylum. The novel is one of the best Batman graphic novels of all time. Part of the graphic novel was used in the hit video game
Batman: Arkham Asylum. Heath Ledger also read the novel in preparing for his role as the Joker in
The Dark Knight. This fan made trailer is by far one the best fan made videos, in my opinion, on any novel. It holds true to the characters, tone, and emotions. It’s like if Guillermo del Toro or Zack Snyder directed this. Music from the trailer comes from Tim Burton’s classics
A Nightmare Before Christmas and
Batman Returns. Take a look at the video for yourselves.
So what are your thoughts? Do you think the trailer is epic or fall short? Comment below. Peace.
