Cast

Production

The film was made for a reported $30,000 and filmed in parts of

World's Finest

Sylvester Stallone and Mark Hamill (who voices Joker in Batman: The Animated Series) were originally cast as Batman and Joker. Stallone eventually dropped out due to his agents telling him that Warner Bros. could get involved. Hamill dropped out for similar reasons, as Hamill dropped out after Stallone did. [4]

Reception

Film director and comic book writer Kevin Smith called it "possibly the truest, best Batman movie ever made",[5] and comic book artist Alex Ross praised it as "Batman the way I've always wanted to see him".[6] Collora has stated in interviews that the film was made as a demonstration reel to attract attention to his directing skills, and as such, succeeded in its goal.

Fan Films Quarterly listed Batman: Dead End as one of the 10 most pivotal moments in fan film history in its Summer 2006 issue.[7]
