A new web series called The Mindbender Chronicles, a fan effort about the villains of Batman, is being produced and filmed right here in the North Country, by people from Massena, Madrid, Norfolk, Canton, Winthrop and Watertown.

The series is based on some modifications to the timeline according to films already made, as if those films had not been made.

“As ambitious as it is for us to do that we felt like we had to in order to ensure more room for creativity,” said writer Elijah Winfrey of Massena in his announcement.

Among the plotlines is the story of a doctor who believes he can make evildoers into law abiding citizens through surgery.
