ITis about to hit the fan. Again. Yesterday we got aJoker Vs. Pennywisefan trailer that was a short tease bringing the two villains together for the ultimate showdown. The Joker must have lost, cause now it looks like Pennywise is the new clown in town. And he’s taking over Gotham. Out of the shadows comesBruce Wayneto save the day. And it’s the ultimate battle to the death. This two minute fan trailer gives us a lot more than yesterday’s neat treat did. But let’s be honest, we’re all almost at the end of our rope when it comes to this damn dancing clown, right?
Sure, sure, Pennywise had a good run at the box office, withITbreaking records for two weekends straight to beatThe Exorcistas the biggest horror movie release of all time. But it’s about time for Pennywise to jump back in that drain pipe for his hibernation sleep. It won’t be 27 years until we see him again, though. AsIT: Chapter 2will likely be in theaters by 2019. And in that two year span of time, we’re probably going to get a thousand Pennywise mash-up videos. We’re almost positive that there’s aStranger ThingsVs. Pennywise mashup being worked on right now.
But first, fans have to get this Batman Vs. Pennywise obsession out of their systems. As far as fan trailers go, using preexisting footage from various Batman movies and the handful ofITtrailers and clips, this is pretty good. We get to watch Bruce Wayne as he’s tormented by Pennywise the Dancing Clown. It’s not necessarily a fight to the death. But come on, if a handful of kids with nothing more than their summer clothes on their back can defeat this joker,Batmancan lay waste to the painted fool from an alternate dimension.
Bill Skarsgard’s version of the murderous clown is unsettling and scary, but he’s not really all that effective at killing kids when you think about it. At least not the Losers' Club. He eats one, the youngest, and the rest make a meal of his spine, sending him back to wherever he came from. Sure, he killsOwen Teague, which is a damn shame, cause that kid has a bright future ahead of himself in movies. But Teague’s character is kind of the Denny Dimwitt of the bunch. And they need a body count, or what fun would it all be.
This mash-up comes fromAdeel of Steel, who does a nice job editing the footage into something that is clever and fun to watch. Batman provides the right dark nature for thisITcrossover mashup to work, since we’ll never see these characters actually meet on the big screen. You can watch Batman and Pennywise go at each other in the embed we’ve included here. Then you can rush back out to theaters to watchITas it crushes its way through a third weekend, going up against the likes ofKingsman 2andLego Ninjago.ITis a certified phenomenon. And we have videos like this to proveIT! Yeah, I know you see what I did there.
