Ooo, that sounds pretty good.
Though, I feel like it needs just a little bit more.
There could be a line with a rhyme like that one, and then that line would be the final line.

EDIT: I have it!

Hear ye my riddle, it isn't too hard
Who lives in a box with his face on a card?
Who breaks up rocks and chops down trees?
You've now heard my riddle, so answer it please!

It would be very awesome intro if the letters transformed to a bat's wings and the bat started to fly while camera is zooming out.

Wait, question; who's cast as The Joker? I'm a bit disappointed I missed the audition, but I'm interested to know. I've always loved The Joker.

I've finished animating the King Tut fight scene.
The whole thing is only about 500 frames long, but it's got some pretty cool stuff.  I tried using even more moving camera shots than usual to make it more interesting, I did 27 in a row without one still shot, actually.  I also have 13 shots which involve masking, so today's going to be a long day in Photoshop.

After THAC I'm going to work on either Welcome to Darkmoor or the Bat-Cave scenes.

Very nice frame you got there. For some reason the focus looks really nice/is interesting, due to the angle of the shot. And I'm curious about what the light is in the middle of the frame? Is it for a gunshot or something totally different?
Also, have fun doing all that masking.

Behind the Scenes

About the ventriloquists hair, you said you couldn't use any of your grey hair because of his double sided face. But what I do (and I usually do everything wrong, so don't pay too much attention to this post) whenever I have a double sided face with short hair, is replace the double sided face with a single sided face whenever the back of the characters head is showing. I don't see why you couldn't do the same, but maybe I'm just stupid.

Sounds great.  I know I'm a bit in commenting, but I love those brick-built letters.  Also, if that frame of the King Tut fight scene is anything to go by, it will be spectacular ( or possibly spectutular).
(I should regret making that atrocious pun but I don't)]

Anyway, do you have an idea when you will release this?  I seem to recall you mentioning April 2014 as a possible release date a while back, but that was some time ago.

Well, it's been a year since I've updated this thread.  It's also been a year since I've animated any of this film because I was working on side projects which have taken longer than expected.

But I have some news.
Upon looking over the animation I've already completed, it's already become outdated to what I am doing now.  This is largely due to taking two years to film just a couple minutes and going off on side-projects and dealing with other problems such as over-complex shots which took months as well as moving in the middle of it.

If I film the rest of the video and put it with what I've compiled this far, there will be a nasty error in continuity which is going to really weigh down the film.

So I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and release what I have so far as its own video, as it is just the fight with King Tut which was meant to start up the film with Batman taking out one criminal before he gets to the rest, however it works by itself as its own film similarly to I Am The Darkness.

I still need a few more shots to finish it off, but it's very little that I need to do on it, thus I will be releasing Batman's fight with King Tut sometime later this year.  That way the footage won't be wasted, and a continuity problem won't be made.  This is what I get for taking way to long to make a film.

As for the rest of the thing, I'm not sure about finishing it, but I'll keep the voice lines and everything in case I ever want to properly make it as I Am Vengence with Joker, Riddler, and the other things, though without batty's glowing face.  Although I highly doubt it at this point.  I think I made the film a bit too complex, and making it didn't seem as effective as I wanted it to be.

Even so, in trying to make this film what I wanted it to be, I feel I've greatly expanded my skill and learned a whole lot.

And even if I'm not making A batman film anymore, I'll still be spending loads of time brickfilming, so don't worry, I'll just be making other films.

TD;DR: I Am The Night is coming out this year, however only as a short like I Am The Darkness with Batman's fight against King Tut.

(Sorry)
