Batman spoofs hit the spot

In the Cliposphere you can trade off almost anyone in the search for fame and fortune ..."parody" enjoys a really big playground provided for by the law (watch out for those music and trademark rights though!)

Two Batman "the dark knight" spoofs show that millions of people watch comedy that's topical..

A solo effort by "Raul" is captivating and every now and then you may even think its the real movie; the scripting is attention grabbing and the pacing perfect .... as for his "joker" .. you decide:






A bigger cast; more than one is easy to beat on size, is next. A team led by Craig Deering in this clip really push the boat out and make a movie "short":





"Raul" has it spot on in my view .... Craig probably knows the more people that you involve in your clip the more its inevitable that weak acting will creep in, pace will fall off and viewers will "clickoff" no matter how many locations you throw at it or changes in pace you make ... they will not always save you... complexity is not what the Cliposhere normally rewards

The mini-bat-bike is perfect though and could be a star on its own if re-worked...

Both clips are one hit wonders in the Cliposhere right now 2 months and 3 million views vs. one month and 2.7 million sees Craig looking like despite all the effort to make his "film" hes not going to win the batrace.

For both of these guys this is a fist step to fame ... a toe in the waters of fortune is yet to come.

Watch out for their next clips.
