With a ten month delay on Batman vs. Superman, we’ve got a bit longer to wait before we see The Dark Knight going up against the Man of Steel, but if you’re desperate for any kind of Bat-crossover right now and ever happened to wonder how Bruce Wayne would fare against Skynet and its army of unstoppable cyborg killing machines post-Judgement Day, then you’re in luck! Filmmaker Mitchell Hammond has released a rather great fan-made animation entitled Batman vs. The Terminator, and it’s well worth five minutes of your time.
30 years have passed since Bruce Wayne survived Skynet’s nuclear blasts in August of ’97. Iron demons now roam the planet, and without the requirement to defend the innocent against crime and injustice, Wayne has seeked refuge in the bomb shelter that saved his life; the Batcave.
Having scavenged the wasteland for resources, he discovers the radio of a dead soldier. There is static over a frequency. Flesh and blood is rising up to the west. With The Stinger; a riot control vehicular unit built before the apocalypse along with a refitted bomb blast vest, Batman makes his way across what remains of the United States to join forces with the man determined to neutralize the electronic menace – John Conner.
