But this movie isn't about Batman. It's about us. It is about who we are as people & who we desire to become.

The most important Batman tales are not in comic books, TV shows, or Hollywood movies. They are within the people for whom the Dark Knight has become a symbol. Not a symbol of fear - as he is for evil doers - but a symbol of hope.

Over many decades, the Caped Crusader has motivated people around the globe to overcome devastating obstacles, to help & encourage young people, or to be a vital contributor to the community. His legacy has also been a vehicle for connecting us to each other & stirring the hero within.

LEGENDS OF THE KNIGHT is an inspirational documentary that tells the stories that Batman has uncovered in us & the power of heroic storytelling to transform the world. Our goal is to inspire everyone on the planet who loves Batman to embody his spirit, engage with the world, and make a difference.

Together, WE ARE BATMAN!

In the spirit of Batman, all revenues generated by the completed film that are beyond production, screening, distribution, & administrative costs will be donated to charitable organizations.

A Cinematic Origin Story

From producer / director Brett Culp

I am personally a lifelong Batman fan. On many occasions, I have been asked why I am so drawn to this character. I am convinced that my love for Batman is rooted in something that goes beyond flavor-of-the-month action films, cool gadgets, & gothic artwork. The Batman character that has developed since 1939 has elements within it that speak to us on a mythological level.

The creators of these stories have consistently tapped into the challenges we all face, but in telling these stories about a uniquely human superhero they have inspired us to find the best in ourselves. I believe it is Batman's humanity that has allowed him to be reincarnated into so many different styles, approaches, & versions and attract a passionate fan base for each incarnation.

So, if this is true - if Batman is truly contemporary mythology - it arouses curiosity about WHY. Why is there power within this story? And how is this story impacting us? I have heard countless interviews with Batman experts who say that the Dark Knight is modern myth, but I have never had the opportunity to see that mythology working in people's lives. Our goal with "Legends of the Knight" is to demonstrate that heroic stories like Batman are essential to our growth as people, and they play a vital role in our society.

I've spent my career as a filmmaker capturing and sharing stories, and I have seen first-hand how they impact us. I have been privileged to produce documentary films around the world. There is power in the stories we tell ourselves and the stories we tell each other. "Legends of the Knight" is my desire to showcase this truth through the lens of a story that I have been drawn to my whole life.
