Considering it only took hours to get a viral parody of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the web, it should also be no surprise that there’s already a Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice parody hit.
While the real Batman v Superman teaser features modern effects and music, YouTube user Bobby Burns created a retro version. He replaced Henry Cavill with scenes from Christopher Reeve’s Superman movies. But instead of putting in Michael Keaton or Christian Bale for Batman, he decided to go back even further. He used Adam West instead.
Here’s the hilarious parody:
The Batman v Superman teaser is officially being screened in IMAX theaters today, but it had to be posted online early Friday night. On Thursday, a blurry version from Brazil leaked, forcing director Zack Snyder to post an official one online.
Of course, last week was the ultimate teaser week, since the second The Force Awakens teaser came out on Thursday. That one got its own parody, with a tearful Matthew McConaughey reaction video, which has amazingly racked up 7 million views.
