Consumer DVD Review

After seeing the very funny Thumb Wars, I just had to see this other film parody.

If youre unaware of what Thumb films are about, then its basically about thumbs that are dressed up & have computer added eyes & mouths.

And the creators base stories with these thumbs around popular films, like Star Wars, Titanic, Frankenstein, The Godfather & now in this case...Batman.

From the very good opening of a computer generated fly through Gaaathumb City , the camera then goes to two thumb muggers who take money from a tourist in the city. But when they run away to count the money or loot, Bat Thumb makes an appearance.

Like the opening of the original Batman movie, the character Bat Thumb appears & confronts the villains with Im Bat Thumb!, before letting them go to tell their friends that a new Bat is in town.

The story is about Bat Thumb & his sidekick Bluejay, fighting evil villain No Face, & rescuing the girl . Overall, this is another excellent Thumb movie, & is a must for any Batman fans.
