We might not be getting another Batman movie from Christopher Nolan, but that doesn't mean The Dark Knight's story is over.
Meet "Batman: Puppet Master," the new fan film directed by Bryan Nest and written by Chris Wiltz.

It certainly does Nolan's films justice, all the way down to Batman's too-raspy voice.
We know that Batman went into hiding after he took the fall for Harvey Dent's death at the end of "The Dark Knight," and this short posits that Gotham City Police Department called in FBI Special Agent Edward Nigma to help find him.

Today, we bring you a new short – from director Bryan Nest – entitled Batman: Puppet Master. It’s not hyperbole when we say this might be the best of the fan-made Batman spin-offs we’ve seen to date. Written by Chris Wiltz (who brought us the hilariously awesome zombie webseries Semi-Dead a few years back), Puppet Master picks up after The Dark Knight.
