That would be because there was no plot.
I agree with everyone else. It looked good but that's about it. I might have enjoyed it a little bit more if I'd ever seen or even knew anything about Predator, but I don't.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

It's got Ah-nold in it, so soon California children will be viewing it in schools. Its most quotable line seems to be, "If it bleeds... we can kill it." But I kind of like

The guy that played the Joker was Walter Koening's (Chekov from Star Trek) son.
I kind of liked the guy who played Batman, but I agree that the whole thing seemed like a test reel. Still, I hope that maybe it will trigger some buttons at Warner Brothers and they'll get of their asses and let Chris Nolan direct a Year One take on the Bat.

Hey, Jesse Ventura was in that Arnold movie too! Two governors in that one? And the title of his book I Ain't Got Time to Bleed (2000) is a quote from his character. That was an interesting sidetrack off the information highway.

Hmmm. OK.
I liked it because I didn't expect a plot and I kind of expected it to be test-reelish. I never expect a plot with something that short (I am sure there are lots of extremely good 7-minute films with plots, I have just never seen one.) I liked it because in that small amount of time, with a small budget (one assumes) that live-action Batman was about a zillion times cooler to me than the recent Hollywood versions.
I love Predator - so I liked that too. I liked the interaction with the Joker, and I especially loved the "Daddy."

Thank you erinaceous!
Too cool.

I am pretty sure it is straight reprint of the Jonathon one-shot of a few years ago.

I didn't see it. I've only ever read Fray, and that was all this year. So the on-line version, super cool.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was packing stuff for my move, and I found that I have an extra copy of Fray #2.
