Batman: Dead End

Batman: Dead End (Downloadable version and Official site)

The plot (contains spoilers, obviously, such as they are):

Batman is suiting up to go after the Joker, who has escaped from Arkham Asylum for the hojillionth time. Batman follows Joker into a dark alley, where Joker attacks him with some brass knuckles. They fight and chat for a bit. Then some Aliens suddenly and inexplicably show up and interrupt the stirring dialogue. One of them drags off the Joker, who is never seen again (in this film, at least) and the other attacks Batman. A Predator suddenly and inexplicably shows up and kills the Alien attacking Batman. Batman and the Predator then launch into a glorified knife fight, which Batman somehow wins. And then Batman is properly screwed when a bunch more Predators and Aliens suddenly and inexplicably show up, with Batman caught in the middle. Fade to black as they all stare each other down. Roll credits.

All in all, it was a fairly entertaining 8 minutes or so.

(EDIT)

World's Finest, another short film by the same people who made the one above, is also pretty cool. Link thanks to rabbitucker.

If you like "Batman: Dead End," you'll probably love "World's Finest." (http://www.collorastudios.com/projects/finest/finestmain.htm)

Indeed, that was pretty awesome. I'd certainly pay to see it if it were, somehow, made into an actual feature-length movie and released in theaters.
