To elaborate all of this, [[hottip:look here:It's a silly in-joke between me and my friends, but one day I decided to make a Just For Fun page for it, so that's how this all came to be. Plus, let's be perfectly honest here: Batman? Jesus? ''Yes''.]]

The second film, "Bat Jesus Is Back", was released in 1995 to a similar success as it's predecessor, but many still consider [[FirstInstallmentWins the first film better.]] It's plot involves a disgruntled Christ about to give up the Bat Jesus persona, only to find out he needs it the most once he does, as the town of place is being threatened by a mysterious man, only known as "The Flamingo", dubbed as such due to his deformed appearance. Along with him is the deadly unstable secretary, Sabrina Nichols, who has an alter-ego in "Cat Messiah". Finally, add a corrupt mayor and the Christmas season to make for an interesting successor.

The third film, mostly forgotten due to it's totally failed atmosphere, was "Bat Jesus and Bluejay", which was released in 1999. This movie chronicles a villain desperate to find a cure for an incurable disease, called "Senior Ice". It also marks the first appearance of Bluejay, Bat Jesus's sidekick. This film, unlike the previous two, was panned by critics and was forced off the silver screen before it finished it's run. The movie also gained a reputation for "killing" Bat Jesus films, although there are rumors going around that a new film, oddly titled "Bat Jesus Starts", is in the works, but is still a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt...
