NIGHTWING-A KNIGHT IN BLUDHAVEN
A FILM BY NEAL BARLOW & MATT GARMAN
STATUS-COMPLETE

NIGHTWING-A KNIGHT IN BLUDHAVEN-When bodies of murdered Bludhaven gangsters
wash up on Gotham's shores Nightwing decides to pay the notorious city a visit to look into the escalating criminal activity.
What Nightwing finds is a major Gang started by Gotham City's False Facers, soldiers of the mysterious crimelord Black Mask.
Nightwing uncovers a plot by the False Facers to steal a container of frozen embryos belonging to a rival crimelord and His
wife. In the process He is knocked out and chained to a cement block. Nightwing is tossed into the harbor and believed dead,
but Mr. Grayson was trained by the best in the biz, so you guess what happens next. Just when Nighwing thinks He'S escaped
a close call, Bludhavens Police Chief orders one of His best (Inspector Soames) to find and eliminate the crimefighter. Since
the city is riddled with corruption, The Police Chief believes that a crimefighter will only cause problems and interfere
with business. Check out this film and find out what happens to Nightwing and His fight to clean up the filthy streets of Bludhaven.
The film itself was well paced eliminating any boring stuff. The reason for this is probably because the script for the film
is taken (almost word for word) from the Knight In Bludhaven storyline, which appeared in the Nightwing comics. Scott Huizenga
played a very convincing Nightwing/Dick Grayson, and His costume looked great. The only complaint I have with it is He is
missing His fighting sticks. Neal Barlow (one of the films Directors and Producers) Does a nice job playing Batman. I especially
liked the tone of His voice. It reminded Me of the Bruce Timm Batman, which I like very much. Although His performance was
good, the costume could have used a little more work. The cowl looked a little strange seperated from the cape. All of these
little things aside I enjoyed this film, and found it to be a well done adaptation of the Nighwing comics. The opening of
the film, with the dramatic musical score by Mike Baltz, and imagery from the Nightwing comics, was an excellent way to start
the film and set the overall mood, and it also happened to be one of my favorite parts of the production. Neal Barlow and
Matt Garman truly busted ass making this film not only directing and producing it, but also starring in it, editing it, designing
some of the costume work and too many more tasks to mention. That's what Fan Films are all about, Finding the time, resources,
and commitment to make your dream happen. Thumbs up to you gentlemen and a job well done. To check out the film as well as
