Great Portrayal of the Ventriloquist
I'm a huge fan of Batman in the comics, my favorite era being late 70's/early 80's and the 90's, and this is such a great performance by Frank Birney as Arnold Wesker/the Ventriloquist. I know the actor has been in a lot more than this, of course, but I really appreciate that no matter how much of a small job this probably seemed to him, he still got Wesker's submissive personality down perfectly.
I know no one is going to see this post anytime soon, but I think this shows a live-action Ventriloquist could work in a full-length movie, but of course they'll never get to such c-rate villains like him.
I'll also say I think this short does Zsasz a hell of a lot better than Batman Begins did, though to be fair, that might be damning with faint praise, though I did like his scenes, and Daniels really looks like he could be a good pick for this take on the Riddler if given a chance, as I found him eminently more enjoyable than Carrey's camp take on the character.
I haven't seen all that many Batman fan-shorts, City of Scars being one of them, but this one has always been my favorite for bringing a character like Wesker to life in a way that is actually believable. To the makers and everyone involved in this short, bravo.
