Batman: Seeds of Arkham Released October 7, 2011

Famed independent filmmaking studio Bat in the Sun has done it again and released the sequel to last year’s hugely successful independent Batman fanfilms, Patient J, Batman Legends, and City of Scars with their new 8 minute short film, Seeds of Arkham, just two weeks prior to the release of the next major Batman video game, Batman: Arkham City.

Director Aaron Schoenke is clearly inspired by the same artistic vision that the Batman comic has promoted over the past seventy years of its production run, showing that the ground was fertile for further mediums like movies, shorts and video games.  The fact that the concept has been successful in all of these mediums is a testament to the genius of its creator Bob Kane, and the timelessness of the concept.  After watching the movie I thought the characters and enviroments appeared as ripped right from the video game, espessially Killer Croc.

If you’re like me, and you just can’t bear the thought of waiting another two weeks to play Batman: Arkham City, give this film a watch and hopefully it’ll help you out as it did for me!
