We may still have more than a year and a half to wait until the release of David Ayer's Suicide Squad, but already fans are so pumped that they are imagining the possibilities. This has led to the creation of two pretty badass fan-made trailers, the first of which is below: Like most fan-made trailers, this clip - created by YouTube user solyentbrak1 - is made up of footage from a whole variety of different films, and this one in particular borrows from all over the place, including television shows (Arrow, How To Get Away With Murder), feature films (everything from Jack Reacher to Dallas Buyers Club) and even other fan-made films (specifically Batman: City of Scars). This second one from YouTube's WhiplashDynamo uses some similar sources, but also creates a very different kind of tone just through music alone. Weirdly, I could see both of these trailers coming...

There’s a general misconception among casual horror fans that any flick produced by a fellow fan, or amateur, isn’t worth the time it takes to type in w-w-w-.-y-o-u-t-u-b-e-.-c-o-m.
Bona fide horror hounds have been tuned in to these inspired projects for years, understanding and respecting the effort devoted to a genuine passion piece. The detractors tend (this isn’t a rule carved in stone, mind you) to be the guys and gals who catch a macabre flick once every week or so, wiling to confess their affinity for the genre, but perhaps not devoted enough to qualify as a certified freak for terror, who haven’t taken the time to study these ambitious pictures.
The truth is, anyone who can openly acknowledge their love for horror can potentially find some brilliant fan productions, regardless of how dedicated one may or may not be. Sometimes fans just...

Cruising the internet today I found this wicked Batman fan film that has surpassed the best fan film of the character to date, Batman: Dead End. This 30 minute movie is called Batman: City of Scars.
The short film’s premise tells a singular story of Batman when the Joker escapes from Arkham and murders the parents of a young boy. Now Batman recalls the pain of losing his own parents as a child. He is pushed past his limits to the point where his focus becomes revenge on all who stand in his way, including many of Gotham’s underworld. Finally, Batman is forced to look at the psychological profile of his own mind and except the consequences of his life to find resolve.
I thought the film was pretty cool as it really had some style to it. I thought it was a lot darker than expected. All in...
