    NICE!!!!

  • TJ (guest) wrote in reply on August 8, 11:40 am

    Two-face was pretty clever but personally my favorite villan is killer croc and clay face

  • moutain-dew-man wrote in reply on August 23, 8:50 pm

    i love the joker not in a gay way though

  • Mike (guest) wrote on July 14, 11:29 am

    That looks good guys~

  • walid (guest) wrote on July 14, 11:32 am

    looks good but i'll never need it.

  • EA Productions wrote on July 14, 11:34 am

    you could also use this for phantom of the opera makeup

  • youngspeildberg wrote in reply on July 19, 6:48 pm

    Tht would actually be good for phantom of the opera. But don't use the cheek thing

  • Skycarl wrote on July 14, 11:36 am

    That was great. Super idea on the cheek pull.
    Thanks

  • bubblefax (guest) wrote on July 14, 11:43 am

    Awesome that was great.

  • Gwiz wrote on July 14, 11:47 am

    my favorite villain from batman was probably the riddler. "wrong again batman, the thumb is not a finger!"

  • Citrus wrote on July 14, 11:48 am

    Very Nice guys! Great job on the effect, pretty smart using the rubber band and Q-tip. Test film was funny too

  • EA Productions wrote on July 14, 11:48 am

    oh ya fav villain is poison ivy...you guys should do a james bond episode unless its copyrighted or something like that

  • daydreamer1 wrote on July 14, 11:52 am

    lol BlindBlindDates

  • BRanger62 wrote on July 14, 11:52 am

    Killer Croc is my favorite Batman villain

  • Wraith 5 wrote on July 14, 11:58 am

    Haha, that was great!
    Nice that the effect can be applied to other scenarios aswell..

    Nice touch with actually making a www.blindblinddates.com webpage.

  • 2184pro wrote on July 14, 12:05 pm

    Here's my Two Face video. The make-up isn't as elaborate.

  • ciwi286 wrote on July 14, 12:16 pm

    The makeup looks amazing. The q-tip idea was great. Nice new intro by the way.

  • deadbydawn wrote on July 14, 12:42 pm

    Erik that was an amazing BFX hope to see some behind the scenes of the build. Joker is my favorite villain

  • Jelfoss wrote on July 14, 12:42 pm

    Sweet!

  • iheartfamke wrote on July 14, 12:55 pm

    great cheek pull idea!
    and dude that test video pwned!!!!!! one of my favorites!
    great job guys

  • b-smitty323 wrote on July 14, 1:07 pm

    Wow! That was amazing. Hilarious test film. That rubber band q-tip idea was brilliant. Genious

  • movieman7 (guest) wrote on July 14, 1:07 pm

    ok, im a big batman geek, so my favorite is probably scarecrow. btw, its "its not who i am underneath, but what i do with it that difines me." The guy from "the dark knight" who plays rachel's new boyfriend, actually becomes two face. look it up!

  • movieman7 (guest) wrote in reply on July 14, 1:10 pm

    actually its either killer croc or that ice/freezer guy. cant remember his name

  • LogaFilms (guest) wrote in reply on July 14, 1:54 pm

    Cooool episode!! My favorite is The Riddler! Jim Carrey is awesome!

  • bowman83 wrote in reply on July 16, 12:43 pm

    dude, you are a batman geek and dont even know mr. freeze? jeeeez...

  • Kevin Mosley wrote on July 14, 1:17 pm

    This weeks Test Film was fantastic. Blind Blind Dates dot com actually had me laughing really hard. It was a cool sketch.

    My favorite Batman Villain? I guess the Joker. He was the first one that I had ever heard of when I watched Tim Burton's Batman as a child.

  • PreacherMike wrote on July 14, 1:31 pm

    Outstanding episode!!!!!!

  • jasonbeck (guest) wrote on July 14, 1:31 pm

    Ok erik great job but i've done this for cheaper all you need is one of those plastic face masks which you cut in half and build up nose putty on then paint with acrylic paint and then get some colored hair spray and gel one side of your hair to look all teased out

  • jasonbeck (guest) wrote on July 14, 1:33 pm

    by the way the joker kicks all the others butts.

  • krissi_cool wrote on July 14, 1:54 pm

    Myne is the joker! He´s crazy!

  • mathijsdemachtige wrote on July 14, 1:58 pm

    myne is the riddler he riddels great effect

  • stripedflag wrote on July 14, 2:18 pm

    SCARECROW!!!

  • Aspiring-screenwriter-pat wrote on July 14, 2:47 pm

    The makeup looked great.

    My favorite batman villain is clay face. Although Raz Al Gul and Kyodai ken are close seconds.

  • M3n747 (guest) wrote on July 14, 2:57 pm

    The best villain is definitely Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman.

  • Sandwich, Inc. wrote on July 14, 3:02 pm

    "Who are you talking to...?"

    Haha. Loved the test film!

  • nprules wrote on July 14, 3:13 pm

    arnie as dr feeze!!!

  • Jonathan Gum wrote in reply on July 21, 12:26 am

    It's kinda obvious that the best villain is Wolverine.

  • sawlrafter wrote on July 14, 3:17 pm

    Catwoman!!! the best.
    Great job guys.

  • Weker1 wrote on July 14, 3:20 pm

    You've Out Done Your Self Again Erik!
    Great Ep, And and make-up!

  • neckstab wrote on July 14, 3:34 pm

    That rubber band hook face mcguilacutty thing was GENIUS!

  • leeproductions...or_is_it? wrote on July 14, 3:56 pm

    The joker can't kill anyoe, he's pathetic, I think 2 face was kool.

  • Tantrum wrote on July 14, 4:11 pm

    The Joker from the Animated Series. Mark Hamel all the way! :D

  • augieg wrote on July 14, 4:24 pm

    The Joker is the best bad guy in Batman history

  • iheartfamke wrote on July 14, 4:33 pm

    am i crazy?
    when erik screams
    "IM A MONSTER!!!"
    it sounds so much like when buster said it on arrested development.
    did y'all use that audio or am i just on crack?

  • NotRamonD wrote in reply on July 14, 4:53 pm

    I dunno if you're on crack, I think only you can answer that, but no we did not rip that audio although it inspired the line!

  • mch7 wrote on July 14, 4:34 pm

    You've gotten really good at the whole face make-up thing, that looks quite real!

  • killdoser666 wrote on July 14, 4:43 pm

    the rideler whats better than a bad guy that gives clues to his crime

  • Pro-MUA wrote on July 14, 5:15 pm

    Probably The joker, Vain or Mr. Freeze oh yeah great video!!!:)

  • Patuman wrote on July 14, 5:31 pm

    Oh My God, that looked so awesome... The Q-tip/cheek pull rig = very creative, worked out very nicely. Awesome BFX once again, thanks IM!

  • cojat wrote on July 14, 6:00 pm

    cool episode :), my favourite was mr freeze

  • CreepyClownpro wrote on July 14, 6:47 pm

    Best in awhile

    good job

    Oh

    and probably the joker...
    he killed robin and shot batgirl in the legs...

    hes a bad ass!

  • under_score (guest) wrote on July 14, 7:10 pm

    The Dark Kniight's JOKER looks awsome!

  • ianghking wrote on July 14, 7:13 pm

    the joker by far! hahaha!!

  • Jacob Graf (guest) wrote on July 14, 8:42 pm

    While Joker is very classic - and obiously the best. For second place though, its hard, for me its between Bane and Scarecrow. BTW Excellent idea with the rubberband & Qtip.
    I say keep the comic book stuff FX coming!

  • Jonathan Pal wrote on July 14, 9:04 pm

    Really awesome. The Joker is my favorite by far, along with the Scarecrow, scarecrows mask is really awesome.

  • Jonathan Pal wrote on July 14, 9:05 pm

    OH! and you guys should do more Dark Knight stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

  • UncleAl wrote on July 14, 9:18 pm

    I like Ras al Ghul, especially the depictions from the Neal Adams comics from the late '70's.
    {Dates me, doesn't it?}

  • UncleAl wrote on July 14, 9:19 pm

    Oh, my...
    I forgot my usual tag!

    Cheers!

  • anomalie (guest) wrote on July 14, 9:43 pm

    Sweet project! I've done a simplified version of this for my boyfriends halloween costume once. If people wanted a tutorial I'd post it.

    Fave Batman baddies? In the oldschool TV show, it's the Riddler. Otherwise: toss up between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (depends on the artist). I'd love to see a Poison Ivy effect, like vines grabbing someone maybe?

  • youngspeildberg wrote in reply on July 19, 6:50 pm

    I do agree with the Riddler, but aftr seeing the dark knight, i would have to say both two face and the joker (Heath Ledger is amazing & Aaron Eckhart is good)

  • pancakeparty wrote on July 14, 10:14 pm

    sweet deal. you should show us batman's utility belt! that would be awesome!

  • caustic wrote on July 14, 11:04 pm

    wow this was really friggen awesome. The Q-tip/Rubber band = priceless.

    Fave villain?
    uma thurman as POISON IVY

  • sawlrafter wrote on July 15, 12:57 am

    Erik, how long was the transformation process?

  • DaLeigh wrote on July 15, 1:03 am

    My favourite super villain is Captain Flatulence.

    The source of his secret powers is cabbage.

  • Biblops wrote on July 15, 3:31 am

    hahahah "I'M A MONSTERRRRRRRRRR" wasn't that the soundclip from Arrested Development?

  • asa wrote on July 15, 4:54 am

    Joker is the best written, but I can't help but love Calendar Man.

  • JohnNoZ wrote on July 15, 6:03 am

    That was excellent!

    I love the mouth contortion device.

  • Garrett (guest) wrote on July 18, 11:16 am

  • THX 1138 4EB (guest) wrote in reply on August 4, 1:16 pm

    Are u guys blind! If u Want Joker make up its actually extremely simple u roll up 2 pieces of toilet paper cover them in licuid latex and form the scars around the mouth. do this for each side. put some white face paint on and take a moist paper towel and dab on the face for that old seated of type thing. sloppily apply red make up with your hands around the mouth same with eyes. do the same paper towel thing again. spray the hair green with hair color and put lotion in it for that greasy look. make some custom clothes and u are done.

    joker is the best! can u show us how to make joker makeup and costume? not the old joker but heath legers look. the old version of the joker looks weird.

  • Spencer (guest) wrote on July 30, 8:17 pm

    If one wanted to make this more like the Dark Night version, would simply adding more black be the way to go? If not what would be the preferred way?

    My favorite villian is The Scarecrow

  • Zach (guest) wrote on August 7, 12:45 pm

    I would have to say the Joker is the best villian. And this is not because of the Dark Knight...it's all about the graphic novels

  • 1nd7M0gu1 wrote on August 7, 8:59 pm

    omg, two-face in the dark knight looks soooo creepy! his eye is almost out of the socket and you can see bits and pieces of his jaw and cheek bone.. This looks waaaaayyy awsome guys! Almost like the real thing!!

  • fawndolyn (guest) wrote on August 8, 8:42 pm

    I used to really love Two-Face, but Hollywood keeps fucking up his storyline. Nobody remembers poor Gilda.
    My favourites are Harley Quinn, the Joker, and the Sewer King.
