Silent Night, Dark Knight
Andre Perkowski obviously had some time on his hands; knowing that one of Bob Kane’s inspirations for Batman was silent film, he cobbled together clips from a mess of old flicks to make Silent Shadow of the Bat-Man, a two-part silent-type movie. Now, Batman is actually The Bat, a 1926 film about a guy who dresses up like a bat to kill people (his bat costume include very large ears), so be ready for that. Also, above it part two, which showcases the rogue’s gallery in silent movie-style, which I though was neater?if you want more Bat-oriented action, make sure to check out part one here.
