Batman

Batman is a superhero film directed by Routess and co-produced between Route 66 Productions and RobloxDC Studios. The film is based on the DC Comics character Batman. The first of two parts was released on August 24, 2014. Part Two was cancelled shortly after.

Plot
The Joker has escaped from Arkham Asylum yet again and is headed to Lebanon with missiles in tow, as Robin goes searching for the truth about his mother, and Batman is caught in the middle, having to make an impossible decision.

Production
The idea to create a Batman movie started when RDC was made by MarioDude0123. Popsfootloose949 signed on to direct a Batman adaptation for the (now defunct) RobloxDC Shared Universe, taking heavy tonal inspiration from the Tim Burton films. On November 5, 2013, BenIsLegit entered RDC and arguments broke out between Pops's plans for his Batman and Ben's Batman in World's Finest, which was more in line with the artistic vision of ROBLOXiwood at the time. When TMF took over leadership, Pops was let go from the project and Moses747 was hired to take control of the project. Moses eventually stepped away from the movie and Ben was hired to direct, before a falling out that caused TMF to fire him from the project.

On June 6, 2014, hired Routess to develop the project, and renamed the film to "Batman". Production began soon after Routess was given the rights. Script writing finished in late June. Filming began on July 12th.. After RobloxDC was taken control of by new leadership, Routess attached Olliekins and BenIsLegit to the film as co-directors. After nearly a month of work, Part 1 of the film was released to a mostly positive reception. On December 26th, 2014 Routess dropped his co-directors. Routess eventually left the community later on, discontinuing this film entirely.

Reception
The first part of the film had a mostly positive reception, with critics praising the character design, visuals, sound, and pacing. Other positives came from how it drew from elements of Batman stories like A Death in the Family. The critics, however, did dislike some of the inconsistencies and the lighting in some scenes.

Cast
The actors portraying Sharmin Rosen and Rupert are unidentified.

Awards & Nominations
The film was nominated for five awards following its release, including three for its director and two for its lead actors, however it did not win any of them.
