Batman – silent film style
Posted by dailypop on January 18, 2012
“Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man” is a retro 12 minute 1920s-style short depicting the origin of “The Bat-Man” and introducing his amazing skills and abilities… Bob Kane and Bill Finger drew on a lot of silent films and pulp to create Batman – here they are re-arranged to tell Bruce Wayne’s story and his crusade against crime. Make sure to watch part two for the rouge’s gallery: featuring the Joker… Oswald Cobblepot, AKA The Penguin… The Cat-Woman! The unspeakable horrors of the Scarecrow! The scientific genius of R’as Al Ghul! All this and pulsepounding, teethgrinding excitement as “The Bat-Man” falls into the Joker’s trap – literally.
