The Batman Chronicles
By Inventive Works

This is a fan made short film about Batman and the red hood gang which includes the Joker. It's split up in three parts which are all amazing.
Part 1 was great! The introduction, the ending,... It was thrilling. I think the introduction is very important because it can give away if it's a good movie or not and I was soled after the first 90 seconds. The ending of part 1 was mysterious however you did know who was going to make his entrance in part 2. Inventive works did a very good job making it clear it was going to be the Joker without showing us his face.
Part 2 was even better. I'm a big fan of the Joker and Anthony Misiano is THE king of Joker cosplay so as expected, he did a great job acting and playing him. I really liked how he showed Joker's dark side but then a few seconds later he's back the mad clown we know and I enjoyed watching that. His entrance in the commissioner's office reminded me of 'The Killing Joke' because of the costume and the great circus music. So you can say that they showed different sides of the joker from different series, comics, movies and games. What I also loved was the use of Joker venom. We haven't seen that in many other Batman movies however it's something typical Joker.
Part 3 showed a good representation of the Batman. His intelligence and fighting skills and just everything a good Batman needs. 
And again, in this part, there is a great Joker who again, shows us Jokers from different series etc. And I think most of us noticed Joker quoting himself from the 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' video game.
I really, really loved this part. It has Jim Gordon, Batman, Joker, Red hoods, Harvey Dent and Bruce Wayne in the end. 

Inventive Works showed us that you can make a great (short) movie with lots of characters even though they may not all be actors. They did an amazing job on not only the acting, but also on the filming, the editing, the soundtracks, just everything! This is really impressive. I enjoyed watching this short film a lot.
