Batgirl film hits Kickstarter

The popular funding site Kickstarter, which has enabled such female-positive comic themed projects as The History of the Universe as told by Wonder  and Womanthology, is now home to another female comic themed project.

Notice a word missing there? Yes, you can invest in …. Batgirl:Vampire Knights!

What is this you ask? Here’s some of the press release:

Tired of the cheesy super hero films put forth by Hollywood, Richard Poche is turning to comic book fans for funding of his fan film.

Wow, I’m tired of cheesy super hero films too! So what’s this one about?

“Batgirl: Vampire Nights” begins when Robin falls into the clutches of a vicious vampire gang. Batgirl and Catwoman forge an uneasy alliance as they try to take down the coven of vampires. The short promises to have plenty of horror, film noir and satire of the world’s hottest super heroines.

“Hottest heroines” gee that doesn’t sound cheezy … sleazy is more like it. And the plot with Robin caught by vampires? They are paying tribute to Stephanie Brown, because this is who is playing Robin.

No she’s Catwoman, this is Robin

Poche Pictures is hoping to raise at least $2,000 by March 24, 2012. I think he’ll be getting a call from Warner Bros. lawyers first.
