Seeing as how we listed Batman: Dead End as one of our runner-up choices in the Best translation of a comicbook to another medium category of our inaugural awards, it seemed only right to talk up the Comic Book Showcase offered by IFilm.
Sandy Collora's Dark Knight saga proved that comic-book based fan-made films can be done well, without using up little Susie's college fund or being overtly cheesy. There aren't many here yet, but take a look at some of the shorts, mostly CGI, ranging from an Aliens vs. Predator mini (not related to the upcoming movie) to a Silver Surfer homage. There's even an original Batman (the TV show starring Adam West) trailer. Hopefully, more filmmakers can create comic-book based works to be displayed here.
And you can't mention fan-made films without plugging Star Wars' fan films and subsequent awards or the Indiana Jones site, both of which have been collecting and displaying fan-made films for a while.
