Batman Infinity - Episode #2

Batman Infinity was a short-lived series some friends and I created, an alternative universe retelling taking the popular Batman mythos and introducing new perspectives on old stories and characters from the comic book zeitgeist.

In this, the second episode, I think it's fair to say, after a surprisingly well received and fun debut, we had a misfire. The episode, and its video portions here on YouTube, can be broken into its three parts:



Part 1 - One very long take, no cuts, of Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) and Bruce Banner (Batman) taking a walk together while holding a conversation. Its mostly expository dialogue, Hal reveals his recent journey to outer space visiting the Green Lantern Corps and inheriting his powers, talk of the mysterious Martian Manhanuter who made an auspicious debut in the first episode, and other misc. verbose banter.



Part 2 - My favorite scene in Batman Infinity lore, the interrogation of Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) by Batman. In it, the actors lost it momentarily and laughed, as cameraman, I made a decision not to cut, but to keep filming forcing them to improvise and continue on. After that this portion is focused on Green Lantern finding common criminal Matt Hagen and in their ensuing fight, accidently turning him into monstrous villain Clayface.



Part 3 - Similarly to the too long opening scene, the ending battle is rather lengthy, partly, goofy enough as it is, because we were intent on destroying a piece of furniture in my parents' backyard so we kept drawing out the initial fight as we spontaneously thought of how to destroy it. Then the fight draws towards the back of the yard, where, temporarily knocking both Batman and Green Lantern out of the fight, Clayface dastardly flees the scene.

RtW Webisodes Directory


The RtW Webisodes are the precursor to what is now known as The Brian and Tim Show.  Similarly to that show, during this series my sole function was in-front of the camera as a co-host, unlike everything else on RtW, creative control (editing, production, etc.) was in the hands of my pals Adam S. and Tim (Team Sandnut Productions).

Season Three

Brian and Tim are back with all new reviews including the return of an old favorite of RTW webisode lore.

Brian and Tim return with an all new webisode where they try a wild and massive selection of dollar store drinks.

The RTW TV crew is back again with more new content. In this episode Brian and Tim take a Mondo Squeezers juice drink challenge and discuss the virtues of a Slim Jim Caribbean Jerk beef stick. In solo reviews, Brian looks at some dollar store Play-Doh and Tim tries a Japanese restaurant in the local mall. Did we mention also there is a ninja battle of epic porportions?

After a year absence, Review the World TV returns in HD with all new content. In this, the first of our new episodes, Brian and Tim review Dale Earnhardt Jr's "Big Mo" candy bars, a kids fish toss game, and an Arizona gift bag. Brian goes solo looking at Super Mario gummy candy. Finally, in a new segment called "On the Street", Brian gives us a walking tour of downtown Hamilton, Ohio. A lot of stuff in this jam-packed first episode!
