Why? Well let's take a typical Hollywood executive board meeting scenario to illustrate shall we .
Let me make one thing clear .for the most part, the mentality of those who run the show in Hollywood frankly p*sses me right off in general and even more specifically in relation to its treatment of much loved, iconic characters from the pages of comic books.
With your talent and money behind you, you should be able to produce a film to go with this "trailer". Which leads me to issue this challenge on his behalf: Warner Brothers, if you've seen this short, the ball is in your court. But, for the most part, Collora has done a very good job. Two-Face is a very tragic character who seldom laughs. Also, as with BATMAN FOREVER, Two-Face is portrayed as a cackling Joker-wannabe. However, other flying sequences look kind of cheesy. There is a scene where Superman catches a car falling from the sky that will remind you of the cover of "Action Comics" #1 and then flies away with it. For a low budget attempt, some of WORLD'S FINEST looks great. The action primarily takes place in Metropolis as we only see Superman's supporting players: Perry White (Joseph Collora), Jimmy Olsen (Andrew Decker) and, of course, Lois Lane (Nina Kaczorowski).
Luthor, meanwhile, enlists the aid of Batman foe Two-Face (Michael Antonik)instead of the Joker like in the animated film. So much trouble that he needs the help of Batman (Clark Bartram reprising his role from the previous film). It would appear that Clark/Superman is having trouble with President Lex Luthor (Kurt Carley, who played one of the surprise creatures in BATMAN: DEAD END). WORLD'S FINEST is shot in the format of a movie trailer for an "upcoming" production from Warner Brothers, who owns both the literary and cinematic rights to the characters. Once again, we can see the influence of artist Alex Ross on Collora's cinematic work as early in the six-minute film we see Clark Kent (Michael O'Hearn, who looks as if he just flew out of the pages of "Action Comics") changing into Superman while being lit by a single, small spotlight. It's also the title of a three-part episode of "The New Batman/Superman Adventures" that was released on video as THE BATMAN/SUPERMAN MOVIE. Longtime comic book readers will recognize that title as the monthly book that teamed Batman with Superman. Collora returns to the comic book genre with WORLD'S FINEST.
Sandy Collora made an impressive eight-minute film called BATMAN: DEAD END which pitted Batman against the Joker and two surprise movie monsters from a rival studio's franchises.
