Project Batman 5

Project Batman 5: The Shadow of Evil (Sometimes stylized as Project Batman V) is the fifth movie in the Project Batman series. It released on March 13th, 2018 and was the only Project movie to release in 2019 before the pandemic.
== Plot ==
Batman finally feels like his life is at peace until people begin disappearing from Gotham City and bodies fill the streets. As a serial killer named the Shadow threatens the lives of everybody in Gotham, Batman must balance his skills as Bruce Wayne and as Batman to save everybody and find out the killer's identity. 
== Production ==
Project Batman 5 started production in spring 2019 and was halted after the first scene was filmed. There was originally going to be a storyboard but the filmmakers decided to solely go with a script instead. The first scene was cut from the final movie but was re-edited in later on. The first act had a different director from the one usually used in the Project movies and was replaced later on and the movie wrapped up filming pretty fast since the movie had a smaller scale from the previous films and had a more efficient process.
== Reception ==
Project Batman 5 was met with much praise upon release and regained fan's trust in the Project Batman IP after the disaster that was PB4. Fans enjoyed Deadpool's character bringing a comedic relief and enjoyed the plot twist of Alfred being the main villain. Some were put off by the use of knives but warmed up to it eventually. The movie overall was a success and a welcome entry in the Project Batman lineup and paved the way to the last movie in the series.
== DVD Release ==
On September 28th, 2021, along with the PB4 DVD, Project Batman 5 finally released on home video for the first time, now completing every fan's collection of the Project Batman Hexology.
== Trivia ==
Deadpool's character was heavily inspired by how he is in the TV series Deadpoop.
Project Batman 4 was originally going to be the final movie in the series but however due to that movie's failure at being a finale, PB5 ended up being made and taking place after Batman's hiatus at the end of 4.
