We are in post production.
Batman 1969 is presently in post production. The rough draft of the movie was finally assembled together on Wednesday, 15 September, and the final cut is being worked on. Because of continuity issues in the Epilogue, fill-in shooting is scheduled for Sunday, 19 December 2010 in New York's Capital District. Target date for release is 12-13 January 2011, the 45th anniversary of the debut of the Batman series.
Batman 1969 finished primary filming on 1 November 2009 in Albany, NY. Primary shooting ended on 26 September in Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Post production has taken some effort, owing to hardware and software upgrades. Recently, we began working with someone to provide an original musical score. Stay tuned for more details!
Preparations for Batman 1969 began in July 2007 when the Batcave was constructed in Strathroy, Ontario, Canada and filming commenced on Saturday, 11 August 2007. We filmed until 19 August 2007, then went on hiatus until shooting resumed the weekend on 15-16 November in Hamilton, Ontario, on 5-7 December both in Hamilton and Toronto. Filming also took place on 19-20 January 2008 as well as in November and December 2008, late March 2009 and late June 2009. Two of the scenes were filmed in the Saratoga Springs, NY area over Labour Day 2009. You can see some photos here.
About Batman 1969
Batman 1969 is a fan film that is not merely an homage to the 1966 Batman series. The fan film, designed as the “Fifth Season Premiere,” is also a crossover with the crime drama The FBI. Other comic characters will appear as well. It also has many influences from other shows from the era, as well as the comics.
Essentially, Batman 1969 is story that traces Bruce Wayne’s life from a tragic afternoon in April to 1968 to further tragedy in the fall of that year, his personal struggles, and then his fight against a mob boss, the Scarecrow, and the Mole Hill Mob. Unlike the 1966 Batman series itself, however, Batman 1969 is a production done in a serious manner, though not without humour.
