Batman Helwan
Creative Direction - Crowd Simulation - Ragdoll Simulation
In May 2022, a fun social media trend in my home country, Egypt, emerged when two people had an argument about who the real Batman is. Later, the trend grew and thousands of people argued that they are the real batman. Eventually, it turned into a fun event where people wanted to meet dressed in Batman costumes to fight to reveal who the real Batman is. I decided to create a solo project of my vision of this absurd yet funny event.

A trend well used
This project had great success on social media platforms in both Egyptian and international social groups with 1M+ views, and had the attention of Almasry Alyoum (a famous Egyptian newspaper).
The time was very limited. Everything in this project was finished in less than 10 days. The project was a great chance to optimize my workflows in the most efficient ways to be able to catch the trend in time. I used Cinema 4D as the main package, Houdini for the ragdolls/crowd simulations, and EmbergenFX for the fire/smoke simulation.
