    • Plot

    It is New Years Eve, and Bruce Wayne is hosting a party at Wayne Manor. Just when he meets "Miss Kitka" (Catwoman in disguise, as seen in the 1966 film Batman: The Movie), he gets a call from Commissioner Gordon, explaining that the Joker is planning a New Years Eve crime spree (the concept of the Joker planning a crime for midnight on New Years Eve also appears in Batman: The Long Halloween).

    It is up to Batman to avoid Harley Quinns distractions, and to stop the Joker from pulling the worlds largest stick-up at midnight.

    Production

    Every year, the students create a short film to demonstrate what they have learned in class and for future employers. Batman: New Times was released 2005 by the 2004 graduating class of DAVE School.

    Reception

    The success of Batman: New Times led Marvel Comics and Diamond Select Toys to the contraction of DAVE School and its students to produce a commercial film in the same style using Marvel characters, X-Men: Darktide.
