"I'm just a Son of Krypton, standing in front of a billionaire playboy, asking him to love him..."

Okay, so maybe that's not a line taken from the highly-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it could easily belong to this brilliantly imaginative parody, that casts Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne as superstar-crossed lovers. https://twitter.com/captaindeadpooI/status/707792117607739392 The clever folk at Wired have produced a faux trailer that reimagines the summer blockbuster as a whimsical romantic comedy. It's actually remarkable how well the simmering tension and lingering looks fit to the "will-they-won't-they?" premise. Is it wrong that we'd much prefer to watch Batman Meets Superman: Dawn of Just Us over the real thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrjo3lAK8qg
