Summary
After a long wait,28 Years Laterfinally popped its head up in December last year from its long-awaited post-apocalyptic setting to give fans a look at what’s next in store for the franchise. Even though the trailer was jam-packed with creepy imagery and haunting audio, one fan thought that they could do a better job by combining Matt Reeves’The Batmanwith Danny Boyle’s upcoming zombiehorrorinto a stunning edit.
Following in a long line of previous Caped Crusaders like Adam West, Christian Bale, and Michael Keaton, Robert Pattinson took to the spotlight in Reeves’The Batmantoshowcase a Bruce Wayne that hasn’t been shown before. Known for his role as Edward Cullen inTheTwilightSagafranchise from 2008 to 2012, Pattinson truly showed off his acting chops as he donned the iconic cape and cowl, proving a darker Batman who was only just discovering himself. Even though the original trailer forThe Batmanwas already moody and dripping in violence, including the28 Years Latersoundtrack, somehow, makes it so much better.
The Batman Receives a Sinister Mashup With 28 Years Later
Over on YouTube, creator and concept artist Jaxson Derr has reimagined an incredible edit ofThe Batmantrailer by including that creepy and anxiety-inducing28 Years Laterpoem, Boots, narrated by American actor Taylor Holmes. Throughout Derr’sThe Batmanedited trailer, chosen scenes have been placed from the movie to create an almost horror-like style that takes the PG-13 film to an R-rated level. To make it hit home even more, Derr inserted words like “Vengeance”, and “Incarnate” in bold lettering, and for the icing on the cake, included “From the visionary director, Matt Reeves” to really bring the mashup together.
As expected, Derr’sThe Batman/28 Years Lateredit brought fans across both franchises out of the woodwork to congratulate them on their incredibly insightful and fresh take on the trailer. One fan stated in the comment section of the video that it was “unbelievable how good this movie looks”, while another expressed that they would love to see “A true Batman horror movie” made in this style. This isn’t Derr’s first adventure into the world of mashing up two movies, as previously, they have recreatedThe Batmanmixed in withthe horror Longlegs, as well as one edit that showcases what Batman and aFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagastyle would look like.
As for when fans can finally see the continuation of Bruce inThe Batman Part 2,James Gunn recently announced that the movie has been pushed backuntil July 03, 2025, which certainly stings for those excited to see it sooner. However, on a happier note and after a near-20-year gap in the series,28 Years Laterwill finally be released on June 09, 2025.
