Thanks for dropping in and for the heads-up on the new series. I stayed as a subscriber after the first series promised the follow-up and I’m looking forward to seeing what is ahead.

I honestly believe the project was a very innovative idea, and it’s something I think was a great example of using a medium like YouTube to actually deliver something that actually felt both ‘natural’ and yet professional.

There’s very few blokes who haven’t at some point watched an action movie and thought “psh, I could do that!”, and seeing what would happen play out was great. It was one of my most ‘shared’ items for a while, just because I knew so many friends who would think the same way, heck, some day I will become a villainous entity, so it’s could to know what is required before corrupting.

I think the most faithfully honest thing to that ‘bloke-ishness’ is the speed in which the mind goes from “I’m going to be a force of justice” to bat-whiskers and bat-mobile. The bat-mobile still causes me to smirk, because it’s a british wordplay that wouldn’t translate in the US with bat-cell.

If you were aiming for mockumentary, I do still feel that you had the best bits very early on – the interactions and deadpan skits were absolute magic.

The video (Episode around the legal advice is probably one of my favourites, firstly because ‘Batman’ gets legal advice on ‘mates rates’ and secondly for the delivery of the line “You’re not a very bright man, are you, Mr…?”.

I hope the new series proves as, if not more, successful than the first for you and thank you for all the hard work and great videos that you released. Gotham has nothing on the seedy underbelly of Chalfont St. Peter.

Thanks for the review, very nicely written. I hope that this new series of Becoming Batman actually addresses a few of your issues!

Best wishes,

Wayne
