The new Batman fan film is made entirely with AI and you won’t believe how good it is
AI video generation has come a long way since we saw the first demos of OpenAI’s Sora in February. Despite being leaked for a few hours recently, we’re still waiting for Sora to be released to the public. Yet many other apps have since emerged that have filled the void and actually deliver on the promise of delivering a fully AI-generated movie.
The most recent video to knock our socks off is a 10 minute Batman fan film made entirely in AI. Although it clearly took its visual cues from 2022 The Batman movie, it’s incredibly realistic. The fact that it is now possible for a fan to create their own fantastic Batman movie using AI tools available to everyone will have many people wondering how long it will take before actors, film sets and film production crews become a thing . the past.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; we are still a long way from that, and many of the creatives currently involved in producing AI films see AI as simply another tool that will be used in current film production, rather than something that replaces it.
But the thing is, we’re now at the stage where just about anyone can make watchable ten-minute fan films, and I feel like we’ve reached something of a milestone in the process.
The movie was posted on Reddit by user kavan-the-kid, who lists the tools he used to produce it as KLING AI, Hailuo AI, Runway Act-One, Midjourney, Topaz Labs AI, Lima Dream Machine, Eleven Labs, Magnific, Blender, Character Creator 4, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and Davinci Resolve.
Kavan-the-kid said the film took just three weeks to produce, and when asked about his production process, he replied: “Started in Midjourney, then AI video tools like KLING AI, MiniMax and Runway Act-One. Cloned the voices in Eleven Labs. Topaz for scaling up.” Reddit users responded with phrases like “stunning,” “amazing,” and “impressive.”
