9	''Batman: Puppet Master'' is a ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' fan film set in the universe of ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. Set in-between ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' and ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'', the video is intended to explain why Batman went into hiding after the end of the former, but the actual content of the video and [[spoiler: a SequelHook at the end]] imply that it will actually be part of a series.

11	After Batman becomes a wanted criminal for the purported death of Harvey Dent, the FBI sends its greatest secret agent, Edward Nigma, to catch him. However, that isn't enough for Nigma; he wants to prove his greatness, and for him that means unmasking the Batman and revealing his secret identity. To do this, he works with the mob, led by a mysterious figure known only as "Scarface", and becomes increasingly obsessed with his prize...

18	!!Provides examples of:

20	%% * BigBadDuumvirate: Scarface and Nigma, for what it seems.
21	* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Similar to ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} (Selina Kyle) from the films proper, neither "The Riddler" nor "The Ventriloquist" are used, only "Edward Nigma" and "Arnold Wesker".
22	%% * DemonicDummy: [[spoiler: Scarface]]. But you knew that if you knew anything about him from the comics, didn't you?
23	%% * DirtyCoward: Arnold Wesker [[spoiler: but you probably know what it hides.]]
24	%% * ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Riddler says this when he first meets Wesker.
25	%% * GollumMadeMeDoIt: [[spoiler: Guess who?]]
26	%% * HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: Peyton Riley.]]
27	%% * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler: Peyton Riley.]]
28	%% * TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[spoiler: Scarface/Wesker.]]
29	* MythologyGag:
30	** Scarface's henchwoman is Peyton Riley, who was the second Ventriloquist in the comics [[spoiler: during Wesker's ComicBookDeath]]. Scarface even calls her "Sugar".
31	** Nigma mentions rival crime lords Galante and Sioni, aka Black Mask.
32	%% * ScaryBlackMan: One of Scarface's goons who might be Rhino.
33	* SequelHook: [[spoiler: The Riddler and Scarface/Ventriloquist make a deal [[BigBadDuumvirate to work together]]: Scarface gets the city while Riddler gets the Batman]].
34	%% * SeriesContinuityError: The Victor Zsasz seen in the video is different from the one in ''Film/BatmanBegins''.
35	%% * WellIntentionedExtremist: Riddler
36	%% --> '''Batman''': You don't have to do this.
37	%% --> '''Nigma''': Sometimes you have to get a little dirty when digging up the truth.
