Sad as it is to admit, Batman is just the figment of a lot of people's imaginations, from Bob Kane to Christopher Nolan. But what if the Dark Knight was just a paranoid schizophrenic who fantasized about being a superhero?

That would be kind of cool, actually. Hence this awesome fan-made trailer, The Batman Complex.

Stitching together elements of current Caped Crusader Christian Bale's work in The Machinist with scenes from Inception, Shutter Island and Nolan's two Batman movies (among other things), the faux trailer creates a world in which the Dark Knight is nothing more than the creation of one man's warped mind.

"The gist of the idea revolves around a few fun topics, mainly the whole, 'What is real?' train of thought, and also every fan's desire, deep down or upfront, to be Batman at least once in their lives," video creator themanbatman writes in the clip's description on YouTube. "And so, I tried to craft a story where we see what happens when someone takes their dream of being Batman a little bit too far."

It's totally different from the other Batman Complex, which is what happens when someone does nice things for people and never gets thanked, but it's probably a better – and more psychologically sound – use for the term.

The trailer's concept is great. So awesome, in fact, it's kind of unfortunate that this film doesn't actually exist to tide us over until The Dark Knight Rises arrives in July 2012. Some scenes from the final chapter in Nolan's Batman trilogy reportedly will be filmed in Jodhpur, India, and maybe that will be crazy enough.
