Synopsis:

Two years of nights have turned Bruce Wayne into a nocturnal animal. But as he continues to find his way as Gotham's dark knight Bruce is forced into a game of cat and mouse with his biggest threat so far, a manic killer known as "The Riddler" who is filled with rage and determined to expose the corrupt system whilst picking off all of Gotham's key political figures. Working with both established and new allies, Bruce must track down the killer and see him brought to justice, while investigating his father's true legacy and questioning the effect that he has had on Gotham so far as "The Batman."


Intentions:

The Intentions of this Edit are both simple and consuming. this movie is special to me for a number of reasons, being the first real, true in my opinion representation of a Human Bruce, not one thats got everything under control, the all confident playboy, he's damaged, he's hurting and he's RAW. the design of this movie is Neo-Noir, and the color, the setting, everything is a perfect representation of the genre. but this era of Bruce in the Elseworlds, really harkens back to the Detective Comics 39 Era BW/BM, and with that came the idea to give this the true, black and white noir era of Detective films. this was my first big project going through 5 revisions, and it taught me a lot about the basics of editing. this is my love letter to the past, to the old style of filming, to The Batman himself.


Change List:

As of REV5 Adobe PSPP23 ----------------------------------- Adjusted Colorspace from REC 2020 to Phantom REC 709 Adjusted Brightness, Contrast and Gamma Heavily to balance the TV, Billboard Ads and other electronic devices as anything overly bright was blown out immensely. Added Fujifilm Eterna 250d Monochrome Filter, further adjusting B,C,G, and delicately adjusting Shadows, Blacks, Whites and the overall effect of the filters in question. 4K Export via AME occured, imported into DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- File imported, Noise Reduction implemented due to added grain/noise from AME and PSS added 35mm Film Grain overlay after NR to give it an older, Vintage feel with a light touch. adjusted colorspace further via LUT Pack from a fellow Redditor to maximize detail once in Noir view. export then occured and was run through Topaz VEAI 2.6.4 for additional cleanup without any further noise reduction. Source 4K BR Tracks and subs were then muxed in via MKVToolnix GUI
