Bat In The Sun
Warning: Spoilers included.
If you’ve ever dined in at a restaurant and hear someone say, they could have cooked better, this is the Hollywood version of it.
Kind of. Fan films have been a by-product of popular franchises for the past few decades, where audiences move from writing their version of events, to filming it.
We’ve seen it popularised in major properties including Star Wars and Star Trek, and of course, those spinning off from comics books, video games and proposing crossovers that can never happen in real life (Batman vs. Aliens anyone, or Street Fighter vs. Power Rangers), but more recently, the quality of some fan films have even surpassed those made by Hollywood, putting blockbusters to shame.
