J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot
Productions released a teaser for its upcoming “Star Wars” film with a
special nod to Zack Snyder’s “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
The video begins with familiar
“Star Wars” music and a shot of what appears to be the Millennium Falcon before
shifting into the pounding score of the latest Batman films and a reveal
of the Batmobile on the underside of the ship. Abrams’ Batmobile is a
little dustier than Snyder’s, which he revealed in a
tweet on Sept. 10 — and looks more like the Tumbler from the
Christopher Nolan films.
This is the latest in an
ever-escalating battle for supremacy in crossover images between the two
directors that began with Snyder’s photo of Superman actor Henry Cavill in Jedi
garb.
He followed that up with
a shot of Batman stumbling through the desert with R2-D2.
Bad Robot responded with
a caped crusader of their own.
Snyder then snapped a
pic of a stormtrooper on the wrong side of the law in Gotham.
Production on both films
is currently underway, with “Star Wars: Episode VII” expected in theaters Dec.
18, 2015, and “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice” planned for Mar. 25, 2016.
