Batman responds accordingly after a run in with the Joker which allows him to reflect on his own actions and ponder on why mercy is such a forethought. Sadly, while the costumes are good and the writing is sharp, the performance by Jason Olstad leaves much to be desired. He lacks the stoicism and twisted mentality of Jason Todd to deliver such interesting dialogue. But that's just a mild quibble as "The Line" is primarily a thought provoking and well made fan film that thankfully doesn't get bogged down by Olstad's performance.

Though slightly brought down by the shaky performances, "The Line" is an entertaining and well made Batman fan film that's respectfully ambitious and makes up for the lack of budget with provocative questions on morality and ethics.
