This award-winning fan-produced short film is a prequel to Tim Burton’s Batman (1989)!
Winner: Best U.S. Fan Film, Best Performances, Best Lighting, and more!
Sergeant Frank Kelly is one of the last good cops in Gotham and his life is about to change. Take a trip back to the mean streets of Gotham when “the Bat” was just a rumor chased by reporter Alexander Knox, and the city was powerless against crime bosses like Carl Grissom. The Oath stars Jerry Morgan, Oz Keenum, Chris Konke, and Michael Stumbo, with Guillermo Mejía as Batman.
THE OATH was written, shot, and directed by lifelong Batman fan Johnny K., whose first film, “The Killer of Grassy Ridge” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq82D3-Il1o), was selected for more than 50 festivals worldwide, winning Best U.S. Short Film, Best Debut, Best Director, Best Cinematography, and more. THE OATH is a labor of love. A non-profit passion project created BY Batman fans, FOR Batman fans!
