A Joker's Card is a short parody fan film that, while clearly an offbeat
satire, daringly speculates what might've happened with the offspring of
some of superheroes' most elite in a film that flirts with the
underworld of sex and leather - but actually has very little to do with
that at all. Ultimately, it is an amalgam of film genres; part black
comedy, accented by elements of screwball spoofery, Johnny Wu's
film-short illuminates an otherwise dark existence for a handful of sons
and daughters of action super-figures from Gotham to D.C..  It blends
the style of the 60's TV shows to the wire-fu of the 90s.
 
A Joker's Card, shot entirely in Cleveland, Ohio with the participation
of most notable filmmakers from Cleveland along with the collaboration
of award winning filmmakers from Detroit, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Boston, Port Clinton, Columbus, and Youngstown. It was made by
independent filmmakers and by members of Cleveland IndieClub.
 
A Joker's Card won the Best Entertainment category for 2005 Telly

A Joker's Card also won the Best Comedy Short at the 2005 Wreck-Beach
International Film Festival in Canada, and the Best Action Adventure at

And rave reviews from critics keep pouring in, here are just a few:
 
"Just when you think you've seen it all, you see something new and
different..." & about the soundtrack "To put forth the effort to
construct a soundtrack from scratch like Kumar did is really impressive,
and it turned out really well.  The results really fit the film and they
add quite a bit of ambiance and depth to the movie, acting as a clue to
how the scene is being played, be it for seriousness or laughs." August
8, 2005, Ron Hogan's review for LivingCorpse.com (4 out of 5)
 
"NEW FAN FILM! When paying tribute doesn't sufficiently express your
love for a book, a movie, or a narrative style, you must resort to
emulating it in the spirit of campy fun-which is exactly what
writer-director Johnny K. Wu does in his DC Comics parody "A Joker's
Card"...", June 26, 2005, FilmThreat.com (GOOD)
 

"With brisk directing, hilarious comedy, and very clever spoofing, this
is a very enjoyable tongue in cheek parody of the Batman comics..." June
24, 2005, 
Cinema Crazed Review (3 stars out of 4)
 
".honestly wacky and not ever taking itself too seriously." June 20,
2005,  MicroCinema Magazine (4 little guys out of 5)
