Fan Film: GRAYSON (Dick Grayson aka Robin/Nightwing)

[stevelabny]

As WayneLigon said in the Batman: Dead End thread..

For another fantasic fan-film, take a look at Grayson.

Fantastic is an understatement.

I want to see the film advertised in this "trailer" NOW.

Go watch it now.

That is one awesome trailer. Kudos to all those that were involved in making Grayson. I have watched it several times and notice more with each viewing.

I have only two things to say.

1) Despite the occasional less than sterling quality of the costumes, I found this to be much more well done than many professional trailers for real movies.

2) I'm very disappointed that this "trailer" is a fan project, and that there's no actual movie to follow. I want to see this film!!! Hell, the trailer alone's brought so many questions to mind (like why the hell are

Spoiler

Superman and Wonder Woman apparently working against Robin here

?!?!) Sure I can guess, but I want to know, and the fact that I never will is driving me nuts.

Kudos to all involved.

Also, did you all notice that they managed never to utter any copyrighted or trademarked names? None of the characters are addressed by their superhero/villain names, and in most cases only by first name--Dick, Barbara, etc. Very clever.

I think this had the best looking live-action Joker too. Very nice. I didn't care for Grayson running around in a Robin outfit... Seems out of place. I think at the very least he'd have updated the costume to something akin to Ross/Waid's Red Robin from Kingdom Come if not Nightwing...

Otherwise, this was a very fun watch with lots of great cameos.

wow!

Holy Crap! That was awesome. If only WB would make something like that. It might even make me forget Batman and Robin!

 

[WayneLigon]

Be sure to watch the 'Making of' film as well; it's very interesting how he did a lot of the effects. Not too bad for $18,000.

Very nice, but if it were an actual movie, I'd be afraid of

"too many characters" syndrome. It's got Robin, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Superman, Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, and Penquin. But with the success of X-men, I do believe it's possible to do superhero movies with lots of characters. I guess I'm just leary of Batman movies with multiple villains.

And Chief O'Hara might be a bad guy? Nice touch.

Question: Did Dick Grayson marry Barbara Gordon in the comics? Don't know much about Batgirl, since I only ever saw the 60s t.v. show.

Stunning ..... I want to see the whole thing!!

Reply to Barend Nobeard's question:

Spoiler

Robin and Batgirl had a teen fling, but went their separate ways while they were still young. Then Barbara got shot through the spine by the Joker and was paralyzed below the waist. After a while, she became Oracle. In the meantime, Dick Grayson became Nightwing, had a fling (and married for a while) fellow New Titan Starfire, then wend on his own, has a series of flings with hot women (including The Huntress) before settling down and consumating his long-time love affair with Barbara Gordon. They've stayed together for quite some time, but now it seems Dick is in a mess with a new crimefighter in Blüdhaven, the new Tarantula.
