Bond V Batman: Age Of Vengeance

Bond V Batman: Age Of Vengeance is a comedy-action film by Mike Barkhoff released in 2015, his freshman year of High School, for a film class. Starring Barkhoff as James Bond, the film sees the fictional character facing off against Batman, who was portrayed by Grant R. Weldon.

Conception
Faced with a final in Film Class, Barkhoff got together with five friends and wrote the script for this film. It was intended to be an action film with comedy interspersed throughout. It was released in seven parts, each with the double-o attached (Part 001, Part 002, etc.).

Plot
In a flashback, we watch Bond's parents get murdered.

In the current day, James Bond kills a man during a mission and gets a talking to by Quam, who expends his license.

Quam then tells Bond that they found out who killed his parents - Bruce Wayne. Bond approaches Bruce by meeting him at Wayne Manor and confronting him, then breaking in and trying to bomb the place with Alfred inside.

Alfred and Bruce escape safely, but Bruce becomes vengeful. Bond, also mad, goes after Bruce at the hotel he is staying at, trying to poison his drink. Wayne finds out and chases Bond to his car - the two ensue in a car chase, which ends with Bond getting pushed off the road.

Quam also deals with Wayne's hired men trying to infiltrate MI5. Quam wins, however, and learns Bond is untraceable. Bond, meanwhile, awakens in Wayne's cave. Wayne interrogates him, trying to deduce why Bond is after him. Another fight ensues, which leads outside where they chase each other on bleachers and crawl all over. Wayne is left dangling from bleachers due to his injured leg from the car chase having lead him off track. Bond refuses to save him until Wayne tells him that he isn't responsible for the death of Bond's parents, but knows who did.

The two form an alliance, and Wayne tells Bond that Bond's Dad was at first his partner, who was murdered by Joker. They go after Joker, who shoots staples at Wayne. Bond protects Wayne and kills Joker, with the help of Barry Allen, before helping Wayne up. Wayne, believing to be dying, offers the Batman mantel to Bond, but Bond declines, telling him he's simply been stabbed by a staple and is going to live.
