Batman: Year Two (Miniseries), The

I absolutely loved this edit. This is exactly what The Batman should have been, a HBO series about Batman. I think Batman works better if it was show similar to Daredevil, putting Batman in a detective drama works very well for the character. And making it like a 4 issue miniseries just like Batman Year One is absolute genius. It's the only comic book movie that feels like a comic book.

I really like some of the small changes as well. In the original cut Batman bends over at the car crash to see if the Penguin alright, with I think ruins the scene considering Batman is trying to look intimidating in that moment, But you fixed it. the cuts you made were greatly integrated. One thing that I didn't like was how you did the opening titles at the beginning of each episode. I think they covered up the scenes too much, I think instead of using the whole background you could of overlaid the text on the scene so none of the shots lose any detail.

But goddamn, I loved watching this cut of the movie. I think you should do it again with the next batman or any other film. keep up the good work Don. Thank You

The visual effects and cinematography remain impressive, capturing the dark and gritty aesthetic that defines Gotham City.

While this fanedit is a commendable effort, it does have a few minor drawbacks. At times, the pacing feels slightly uneven due to the necessary restructuring of the original film.

However, considering the ambitious nature of this project, these minor flaws are easily forgivable.

What an interesting idea. I didn't know a lot of people had issues with the movie. Not major issues, but issues. Whatever it felt too bloated, the runtime or there was too many ideas going on, especially towards the end. I, for one, didn't have much issue with the movie. I didn't think it was a masterpiece but I really enjoyed it. I saw this fanedit while scrolling around and my curiosity peaked. I just had to see what this Miniseries was about.

The Batman: Year Two fanedit is an interesting look at what could've been an amazing opportunity for DC. Why by no means is this edit superior or inferior to the movie, I just think there was some untapped potential that could've been explored. Instead of stuffing everything you can into 3 hours, you can make, let's say an 6- hour long episode miniseries and really flesh out your characters and ideas. Seeing an unhinged Batman would've been amazing to see on the big screen. We get to see some of that in the movie where he's fighting the criminals in the beginning. Where instead of taking them out efficiently, he beats them into submission. Reminded me more of Mad-Max type than Batman. Also spending more time with the Riddler and see what his motivations are and how he's inspired by Batman to start taking action. Don Kamillo had the right idea of breaking it up into episodes. I just don't think Don had enough material to truly make this an outstanding experience.

Don only has 3 hours of material to structure the story in a way that would flow well for a miniseries. And by that aspect, he succeeded. There were times, where I forgot that this was a movie. It felt natural to see these episodes play out. Each episode adding a layer as the story progresses. And because each episode isn't long at all, you can pay more attention to what's in front of you. Adding a new narrative and exploration of Gotham makes the series a great watch. Don did a hell of job with this fan edit and turning it into a thrilling experience. The only downside is that it makes you wish there was more material to explore rather than the 3 hours it has to offer. Overall, an amazing fanedit.

There were very few things I didn't like about the Batman, and the biggest thing was the length. Watching in smaller chunks was so much more enjoyable. This movie works perfectly as a miniseries, and Don Kamillo pulls it off exceptionally well. I watched an episode a night and was always left wanting more.

Couldn't find anything wrong with the editing over the whole series except for one small section, about 3 seconds of footage during the car chase, where the framerate drops. Other than that the editing is flawless.

The new title cards and credits sequences are beautiful and really sell the miniseries feel.

I was also happy with everything that got removed and rearranged. Just a minor nitpick, I think swapping the final two scenes and closing the last episode on the Riddler and Joker scene would have been a better outro than the Alfred one, but either way I'm glad he chose to move the Alfred scene to after the climax. Worked really well.

Great job Don Kamillo! This was a fantastic edit!

Having not seen the movie because of the 3 hour runtime, this was exactly what I was looking for. I watched one episode per night, for four nights. After the third episode I didn't have any complaints at all, I thought the whole thing was absolutely fantastic.

All of my complaints, in fact, come from things that happen in the fourth episode. Movie tropes that only detract from the movie.
*SPOILERS BELOW*
Catwoman leaves the city, then shows up at the exact moment Batman needs help. Why?
There's a child that was in the movie earlier, who happens to be the same child that needs to be saved in an action scene. It's the kind of thing that happens in movies, but why does it have to? It detracts from the realism.
Alfred turns out to be alive and well in the hospital after opening a letterbomb intended to assassinate Bruce Wayne. Why? So there can be a movie moment at the end where he and Bruce can say they love each other? It only neuters the scene where he 'died'.

Honestly if I were to edit this myself, it would literally just be DonKamillo's episodes 1 to 3. Just scrap the whole episode 4. I think it leaves the movie in a better place and the whole thing would be better off.

tl;dr Maybe just don't watch episode 4. The rest is fantastic.
