Batman: Watching Over Gotham

​

A number of years ago, Mark became fascinated with the idea of being able to create his own screen interpretation of Batman. So he decided to make his own Batman film with his sons Taylor and Keaton. The result of their efforts was a three-and-a-half minute video called Batman: Watching over Gotham that was inspired by Mark's all-time favorite Batman work, the 1999 oversize graphic novel Batman: War on Crime by Paul Dini and Alex Ross.

 
The majority of Batman fan films that have been produced over the years can best be described as "amateurish", and Mark freely admits that his little film fits that description as well. Still, it was great fun for him to prowl the rooftops of Columbus, Ohio late at night dressed as Batman while making the movie. (Of course, given Mark's lifelong Batman obsession, you know that he just had to play the part in his own Batman film!)
