For What It's Worth: My Look at "Batman: The Line."


Recently I received an email from Henry Tripson, the writer/director of a fan film called Batman:The Line asking me to take a look at it. The film has already been a featured selection at The Superman Celebration, Florida Supercon's Geek Film Festival, Renovation, and will be shown at the Tri-Cities International Fantastic Film Festival on October 8th.

The film takes place during the issues of Batman #424 and #425. At the end of #424, Jason Todd had either pushed or forced a serial rapist to jump to his death. The film deals with Bruce trying to reason with Jason saying that killing a bad guy is not a line you can cross. I had already discussed the Jason Todd issue, and believe it was at this point Bruce started thinking he was failing him. Unfortunately, Jason would be dead a couple of issues later.

I thought the film was really good. A very well-written, very much in character of Bruce, Jason, and someone else (I'm not telling....). Don't take my word for it, see for yourself...
