There’s a Batman blockbuster with oodles of marketing money, and then there’s Stephen Trumble who goes ahead and creates a great Batman animated short all on his own (ok, with some pretty good voice talent).
Broken Promise features two of the best Batman villains ever, the Ventriloquist and Two-face, in a showdown that doesn’t stop with just one split personality conundrum, and a twist that would never take place in the DC world.
This is brilliant stuff, that harkens back to the time when Detective Comics had bonafide, sturdy storytelling, and not just crossover continuity. “No double standards”, indeed.
