I’ve been teaching myself Adobe Premiere lately, so I took some game footage I recorded from Batman: Arkham Asylum and I made a thing.

2 things about this video:

1) You should watch it.

It’s not perfect, but it’s silly and it’s under a minute.

2) I scared the shit out of my girlfriend while making it.

Originally I just wanted to show Batman fighting in reverse because it looked kinda cool, but that wasn’t interesting enough. So, I added the forward version first. And the title text. I was practicing Adobe Premiere the whole time, so it seemed worth it.

Then I figured I should add a Batman voice. Now, at this point, it was around 11pm, and our apartment was very dark, and my girlfriend was peacefully snoozing on the couch. So, naturally, when she woke up to the sound of me saying “You’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re welcome” in a gritty Batman voice, she was a little freaked out. I actually had to edit out the sound of her drowsily yelling, “What are you doing? Stop it!” from the next room.

And then, of course, I couldn’t really do a second take at doing the voice over, because I’d already annoyed her. I think that’s for the best, actually, because I’m sure I would’ve obsessed over that Batman voice if I were allowed to. Oh, and fun fact: I learned that an unrehearsed Batman voice can quickly turn into a Scooby-Doo voice if you don’t stay focused.

So, that’s the video. I’ve explicitly called it an excuse to learn video editing, so hopefully that excuses it from any criticism. It’s only practice! You can’t call it terrible if it’s only practice! (This excuse also works when you’re bad at sex! “Baby, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy yourself, but it was only a practice run. You understand.” You’re welcome, fellas.)
