New Treatment

Batman kills the joker. This violates his most important tenent of justice. Batman must not kill, he brings villains to justice. Now the jokers point comes into play. Now that chaos has prevailed even if the foe was vanquished materially, the Joker actually won and Batmans psyche is ruined, corrupted. He is now flying rat man, a scummy, farty, mutant beast that is all that is bad about batman. He invokes fear in the city. He still preys on villains, but now he eats them, and now there are innocent bystanders who get blown away. This is the world my animation takes place in, but the back story will not be explained.

Animation will be a combination of hand drawing, after effects motion, and cut out found footage. The found footage will be the victims and some backgrounds. I've found The Birds to have a lot of good people running away, and I might be able to turn the birds into bats, but I might not have to.

The animation is going to be a dark scary moody depiction of batman/flying rat man in his daily life. This is composed of him sitting munching chips in his moldy apartment. It is a dingy life replete with flashbacks of the horrors of each night before. He eats a gnarly pickle from the fridge and it reminds him of a woman's finger from the previous evening. He terrorizes the city. He has claws.
