* Thr entire film qualifies. For context, the film was released in 2002. The most recent film in the ''Batman'' universe at that time was the execrable ''Batman and Robin'' released five years earlier and it would be another three years before ''The Dark Knight'' would reinvigorate the franchise on the big screen. To this day many fans still lament that the full length film will never be made. It’s unsurprising that DC clamped down on fan films after the release of ''Grayson'' as it was undoubtedly embarrassing as hell to have an amateur director with a minimal budget produce something far better than their most recent attempt.

!The Fan Film
* Brian C. Bethel does an outstanding job portraying The Joker, especially considering this was his sole screen credit before his untimely death in 2010 at the age of just 40.
